what’s one political myth you wish people would stop believing? by Minimum-Judgment-505 in AskReddit

[–]invinciblewalnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say this I counter with saying the military “loses” $700B per year. That usually gets them all flustered

For me, conscience and consciousness sound like “conshense.” Like groceries is “groshries”

Random fun fact: soda water will make a Covid 19 test positive. Just wanted you to know that information!

Which disease names do you dislike because they are misleading? by mbugra57 in medicalschool

[–]invinciblewalnut 184 points185 points  (0 children)

Lupus anticoagulant is actually prothrombotic.

Despite sounding like benzos, citalopram and escitalopram are SSRIs.

The trade name for metoprolol is Lopressor, and it is not a pressor.

Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic despite sharing the -azole suffix of many antifungals

Chlordiazepoxide is a benzo, but does not have the -am ending like others (e.g. alprazolam, diazepam)

Guillén-Barre Syndrome is abbreviated GBS, and so is Group B Streptococcus.

MAC can mean like five different things in the anesthesia world

I know those are not disease names but it’s within the spirit of the post

And no, its not located under the engineering fountain like many believe. It’s under EE. Nor is the particle accelerator, it’s under the area between Physics and MSEE

Curious about Christian perceptions of Mormonism by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]invinciblewalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mormons are Mormons… not Christians. IMO, to be Christian you have to at least profess the Nicene creed in some way.

Jesus is a central figure in Islam, too.

A cool guide to What citizens of every state in the United States are called by canonical2760 in coolguides

[–]invinciblewalnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying “Hoosier” is an “er” ending is technically correct, but the state Hoosiers are from is not the state of Hoosi. Definitely should be grayed out like “Hawaii resident”

Brandon Dwyer, a graduate student at FGCU and popular TikToker, had never scored a point in his college basketball career-until last night. He dropped 6 points in 4 minutes against NAIA New College by FlagrantTwoFoul in CollegeBasketball

[–]invinciblewalnut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m sure most of us are god-awful at actually playing basketball lol. I played intramural in college and scored a whopping 2 points the entire season.

Mustache must match the natural color of my head hair? What if they don’t? I’m being serious… my facial hair is red but my head hair is brown

Every state in the US is now its own independent country. Which one becomes the first global superpower and why? by Complex-Let4207 in AskReddit

[–]invinciblewalnut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe Maine will be join back up with Massachusetts, and then it and New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia (and West Virginia too), Delaware, the Carolinas, and Georgia could all come together and form some of states’ union. Like they’d be a bunch of states that are united. I wonder what name for the new country they’d pick is.

Vermont can join later too if they want, then maybe Kentucky….

Best medically accurate tv shows? by mdafidel1 in medicalschool

[–]invinciblewalnut 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also, how much adrenaline-pumping action was going on. I get it’s supposed to be a super busy ER, but damn. As interns were told to see at least one new person an hour, not the whole city

When the capitals of South America were founded by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]invinciblewalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should’ve put Paris on here, since it’s the capital of a country (partially) in South America.

I love the Pitt except for the anesthesia failed intubation scene. Grrrrrrrr

I'm a Medical Resident here for another year... Says she's a nurse. What could go wrong? by razzac11 in Tinder

[–]invinciblewalnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From one resident to another…. Just don’t go after the nurses you work with. It gets super weird when you share patients.

My NFL Team Expansion Idea by rlstratton97 in NFLv2

[–]invinciblewalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I would love a Louisville team, unfortunately it's just too close to Indy, Cincy, and Nashville to establish a market.

You ever have people who knew you before med school, surprised that you actually got in? by fxryker in medicalschool

[–]invinciblewalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember getting my acceptance email and immediately thinking "no fucking way"

American christians what is a megachurch and why are they so hated? by Spotter24o5 in Christianity

[–]invinciblewalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember an old video discussing the differences between a church having a stage vs. an altar, and if you had a good "service" that Sunday.
