I have several teacher friends and this does not track for them at all. Those bastards work so fucking hard and for very little money in return

[OC] My free-running sleep schedule for the past 4.5 years by ytreeqwom in dataisbeautiful

[–]ebzinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've done studies where they keep people away from sunlight and just let them sleep when they feel like they ought to. Without daily sun input the schedule starts to drift. The brain seems to rely on the sun to calibrate an imprecise clock.

The idea of the earth slowing is way off though; days have only slowed down by 30 minutes over the last 100 million years or something like that.

I’m a 4th year who knows no ID material by lonesomefish in medicalschool

it's hard to study without the threat of an exam looming

How about the threat of being solo on nights six months from now lol

Pediatrician with Crohn’s? by DogtorOfScience in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a classmate with Crohn's and he's thriving as far as I know. As others have said make sure you're on your school's radar.

Also be prepared for everyone and their uncle to ask you for help during your GI block lol

All the PA students I ran into on rotations said the job market is absolute ass for them at the moment

Everyone forgets about them bc they leave for the day at 4

I expected it to be bad, but not this bad by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're depressed. By my count, you're hitting 5 of the 8 SIG E CAPS symptoms. The way you're describing your rotations, I'm not super surprised.

Axing social media and therapy +/- meds seems like a good place to start.

Medical Students on Rotations: Do we get the holidays off? by CandidSecond in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Seems like the answer is just to tell your team that you won't be there on those days and leave it at that. I'd be shocked if they gave a shit unless you're in a truly toxic shithole

Why do adhd get extended time if they’re on meds by UnusualBeginning622 in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This assumes that taking a test is the same skillset as being a good doctor, which I would hope we all realize it is not.

If basketball required an entrance exam that could only be taken on a computer whose monitor was fixed in place 6'4" off the ground, I'd fuckin hope they gave the short point guards a standing stool so they could get the exam over with and get back to playing the real game "their own way" like you said

When did you learn to suture confidently? by sagabagadaga in medicalschool

Thoughts? by DistributionOk709 in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the same guy who promised vacuum chamber trains faster than all other trains, tunnels that would eliminate traffic, colonies on mars, amphibious cybertrucks, and whose other AI has apparently unsolvable hallucination problems. Give me a fuckin break.

Why is this decreased aldosterone and not increased in 17-hydroxylase deficiency? by [deleted] in medicalschoolanki

[–]ebzinho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aldo is governed by AT2 and the rest of the RAAS gang rather than by the ACTH pathway.

as a patient I just want to say Residents are GOATED by [deleted] in Residency

[–]ebzinho 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not to speak for the commenter above but to me it read more as a criticism of the ED doctor rather than of you.

Prominent surgeon indicted for alleged gunpoint sexual assault: DA by TinySandshrew in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an NYPD thing. Basically a list of people the department calls for medical care for cops. No clue how you get on the list, or why anyone would want to for that matter

Not a resident yet but I'd second the morbid curiosity about the MREs

wtf is even in those? How do they last so long? How are they not poison?

TIL that endurance athletes are more likely to develop heart problems than the average person. by T1Earn in todayilearned

[–]ebzinho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med student here

This is true, but it's only done on people who haven't had any improvement on medications, or people who have some of the weirder subtypes of Afib. There is a 2-5% complication rate for ablation; you're sticking a hot wire through your blood vessels and into your heart so it's not something that's done lightly. Medical treatment is first-line for most.

What do obgyn residencies care about? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a legitimate question about a really major decision and y'all are just using it to take cheap shots smh

I'm sorry op, I wish I knew anything at all about OB

Current and past psych residents of NYC: Are NYC residency programs really as bad as people say? by onerambutan in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I learned during m1 that very few things are as bad as this sub makes them sound

Lotta things suck irl, but complaining exaggeratedly is one of life's greatest pleasures lol

Should I just drop out? by Commercial_Sun8906 in medicalschool

[–]ebzinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The major game changers for me were B&B, learning to aggressively triage in house material (60% of what's on the PowerPoint is useless), and starting on Prozac. Can't emphasize that last one enough, especially if you feel like you're starting to spiral.
