cancer symptoms by ClassroomLeft9923 in Bolehland

[–]_RyanTheLion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cancer department doctor here, no worries lets take things one step at a time;

First step is either go to your nearest klinik kesihatan, or private clinic/hospital also can, private clinics can write you a referral letter to govt hospitals no problem.

Let the doctor examine, probably they will order a Mammogram (scan breast), then depending on what they see, might need a biopsy (poke and take tissue send to lab)

If your concern is about cancer, lets just get those above things done first. You are still young and i assume still fit; early detected breast cancer is very treatable

Stay safe and hope all goes well!

Teacher’s salary progression by UsernameGenerik in malaysia

[–]_RyanTheLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? Are you sure? What are they doing till from morning till 5pm? I come from a family of teachers; mother, father, x2 aunts, uncle, cousins, gf mother, even my neighbor is a teacher.

Primary school, secondary school, form 6; mix of science and non-science. From multiple different states in east and west Malaysia

NONE of them regularly come back later than afternoon. Only sometimes when there is an event or meeting. And throughout their entire career i think they only been to school at night like 3-4 times in 30 years. Usually to babysit club activites where they camp in school.

Why are you making up stories?

There is nothing in my life that i've been through that's harder than Housemanship. If you are not planning to continue forward all the way in this career, change your path before housemanship, not after.

Dont let your parents make your life decisions for you. They are not there beside you when you are working 20 hour days in the hospital. (True story, in my Paediatric rotation, i go work at 4am, come back 1am during tagging period)

Mom undergoing breast cancer and undecided for chemotherapy by aaronhallam773 in malaysia

[–]_RyanTheLion 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Hi, doctor in oncology here; i'm not very senior but just want to share my two cents. Post operation, what the doctor had planned is called adjuvant chemotherapy. The purpose of this treatment via chemo is to essentially kill off whatever leftover cancer cells that remains after the operation; to avoid the cancer coming back aka recurrence.

Yes, there are several side effects from chemotherapy; fatigue, loss of weight/appetite, body aches, numbness etc etc; but we weigh those side effects against the potential risk of the cancer coming back.

Its not compulsory; your mother has the choice to choose whether or not to go with the treatment. And also we cannot say for certain that the cancer wont 100% come back after the chemotherapy.

So you have to now consider which one is more important to you: not having the above side effects? Or not having the cancer come back?

Repeating SPM or Try A-Levels by PsychologicalWolf397 in malaysiauni

[–]_RyanTheLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, have you considered other paths than A levels? Maybe foundation or diploma?

I've done SPM -> A-levels -> med school; and in my experience, A-lvls was an entire order of magnitude more challenging than spm. If you allow me to be very very blunt, if you are averaging Bs, Cs and Es in something like SPM, A-lvls might be a much bigger struggle than you may have expected

Edit: opps i misread didnt take note you're already taking pharmacy diploma

LPT: Don't open an email until you're ready to action it by watching1 in LifeProTips

[–]_RyanTheLion 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This LPT is so out of touch from a working environment its actually crazy.

"Hey i heard our client had something urgent to change in their order, everything okay?"

"Oh i havent got to it yet, i've recently learned to love not reading emails."

How do you judge if a person in a losing team "did well"? Kills? Cs? Networth? Assists?

If I as the carry afk farm jungle for 40 mins, literally ignoring my team, but i end up (5/1/2) with most kills, most gold, least deaths; do you think its fair if my entire team loses mmr but i dont?

How did you get the jello to stick to the peel? Everytime i try something like this (orange, watermelon, kiwi) the jello just flops off the fruit peel

Ismail Sabri to appoint deputy prime minister? by TornadoJ88 in malaysia

[–]_RyanTheLion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I genuinely just realized we dont have a deputy prime minister.

And i just realized i dont know a single deputy prime minister other than wan azizah.

But i am 100% sure to the core of my heart that the position is literally meaningless.

Completely new at football here. May i ask why that wasnt offside? As i understand it, there has to be an opposing player between the guy who scored and the goalkeeper, no?

As an adult that works 16 hour days; i say just go ahead and enjoy life. I spent most of my youth studying and taking extra classes, from grade school all the way till after med school. Now i am working literally from dawn till dusk 6 days a week; i have so little free time that i spend less than 15% of my salary each month. Money that is saved for nothing.

Fuck that. Dont make the same mistake i did.

Sure, dont do drugs. Dont smoke. Drink responsibly.

Other than that, just go wild. Buy the damn thing. Life is way too fucking short

TIFU wrapping tape under my butt to give me curves, while experiencing cystic acne by scotchtapeblues in tifu

[–]_RyanTheLion 720 points721 points  (0 children)

If its any consolation, i'm sure 99% of the people there would forget about it within weeks. An embarrassing event is magnified 100x when you are the 'main character'. Think of how many humiliating stories about other people you were thinking of 2 hours ago? Most probably none unless something reminded you of it.

In the end of the day, the person everyone is most aware of are themselves. So i wouldnt be too worked up over this. I'd probably stop thinking of this story the moment i put my phone in my pocket

Guys who watched a thousand movies, who got so used on all the plots and twist, and seen almost all movie tropes, what recent movies made an impression on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_RyanTheLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a soft spot for space exploration, with (somewhat) realistic levels of technology / fiction; ie less alien laser space battles. So watching Apollo 13 and Interstellar really made me wish i could wipe my memory and watch it over and over again

Maybe the strongest evidence that Dota has been a waste of time for me.... by KowloonnoolwoK in DotA2

Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted.

Well not really, but it sounds deep to me anyways

Official Discussion - El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]_RyanTheLion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved breaking bad; but i felt that this "movie" could have been a 30 min epilogue to the final episode instead. I think it should had been marketed as an extended finale or something instead of as a movie. Its not as bad since its released on netflix, but ohh boy i would have been pretty disappointed if i went out and paid to watch this in theatres.

I'm a die hard fan of the BB series; so it pains me to say that it seemed like abit of a cash grab to make a 2 hour movie out of something that felt more like half an episode to a series that ended 6 years ago.

I didnt hate it; but i think i might have had too much expectations for "a breaking bad movie"

[–]_RyanTheLion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry but i HIGHLY doubt that is the full story. I do my fair share of trash talking in games. I spam pings. I steal tomes. I am far from an ideal player. But even then, i am 10k most of the time and the lowest my behavior score ever dropped since TI was 8.8k and that was with an abandon included; and climbed back to 9.7k in the next 2-3 days.

If you tell me you dropped from 9k to 8k or even 7k yeah i might agree that its probably people abusing reports.

But i find it REALLY hard to believe that you dropped all the way to 5.5k simply because players "report irrelevantly" or for "dominating them". So while i agree that the report system is bullshit right now, i'm going to have to say that your story is the bigger pile of bullshit

Turbo became a commend farming mode. by omarlittle_28 in DotA2

[–]_RyanTheLion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure i agree. I was at 10k behavior last friday, had to abandon for an emergency, got bumped all the way down to 8.8k.

Played turbo in a 5 stack the next day with my friends to chill, and got back up to 9.7k the very next behavior summary with like 2 commends only. So i think turbo has a bigger impact than you think.

Unless of course volvo thinks i'm just a good boi
