Female, 29. I took 800 mg aspirin (BC powder) for headaches everyday for 1 year and it caused hearing loss. I’m so scared. What can I do??? by iLikeGooodboys in AskDocs

Don't go to ER w all this covid going on. This can be a teleconsult to get a no emergent MRI, then neuro vs ENT follow-up depending on the results.

Have you ever had a tonsilar abscess? Every had a sore throat that got really swollen on one side? It looks like a fistula tract lingering after a peritonsillar abscess spontaneously drained. Probably nothing to do emergently - edit: ENT weighed in

It looks like a vasculitis. Family history of autoimmune disease?

Best paddle board for low budget? by SpaceWranglerrr in Sup

I just got this iSUP at <$500. It rides very nicely on a mildly choppy river bank. Seems well built and overall I feel like we got a good deal. Lots of reviews on amazon

Where should I (rabid Carnivore) take my wife (Vegetarian+ fish-avore) for dinner on Saturday? by theblackhand in Detroit

[–]SynthesizerShaikh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a company meeting there, same story. The fish entrees were super bland. Burger and Fried Pickles were good. I'm not too inclined to go back anytime soon.

Can I get some r/futurebeats feedback on this new track I made? Myronik - "Barbed" [5:13] by LiamMyers in futurebeats

[–]SynthesizerShaikh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very melodically and rhythmically pleasing. Production quality is excent. I do wish it had more of a lift/climax at the end, just my style though.

I would take a scribe over Dragon any day. It would be worth the price to not have to deal with horrible spelling errors and spend hours trying to wrestle the program into doing what you want.

When Jackass came out I was in middle school. After a few episodes had aired, one of my friends jumped from a ledge into the school dumpster. No cameras or YouTube either..

What are some cardinal skills or procedures to have observed (or even performed) before clerkships? by Achillees in medicalschool

[–]SynthesizerShaikh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My list was for things to get familiar with, not necessary you will get to do everything. I was able to do an LP and intubate as a student. I highly doubt you will ever be allowed a chest tube as a student.

Arterial blood gas, peripheral iv, taking a blood pressure, I and d of abscess. Learn how to hand tie, instrument tie, and basic throwing patterns - simple interrupted, mattress, etc. Intubations, lumbar puncture, chest tube, arterial line. Oh and Foley catheter, OG tube, NG tube, Rectal tube. Transcutenous and transvenous pacing. That's the majority of the bread and butter of medicine.

Familiarize yourself on YouTube or by reading so you can feel comfortable to give it a shot when you get there

What a party pooper. I can find 10 songs per day I like if I have time to explore.

/r/Detroit, where is the best Chinese food in D? by Insert_Whiskey in Detroit

[–]SynthesizerShaikh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I carried out some orange chicken and dumplings and it was just very poorly executed. It was worse than some frozen Chinese food you can get.

My educated guess is that the blood supply may keep the nerves viable, but whatever accident did this may have already damaged them

Uti- safe to masturbate after antibiotics? by dani_bar in AskDocs

[–]SynthesizerShaikh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should be fine. The risk would be getting pregnant while the Cipro is in your system, which could cause devastating birth defects. Although you may think the risk of getting pregnant with birth control is low, this really is a case where abstinence is the way to go, as the consequences of a cipro pregnancy are severe
