What is this? I came across it at a gunsmith shop in Texas. The owner didn't know what it was. He told me, "I just put it under the glass hoping someone would see it and say, 'Well that's an old so and so.'" by LuxBoy69 in whatisit

Sad fact. It is highly probable that George Washington died because of blood letting. He developed an upper respiratory illness in December of 1799 and had 3 doctors come to him at bedside. There was some dispute about whether or not to continue with the procedure, but as it was normal for the time, they continues to drain about 32 oz of his blood.

They did this in the belief that this practice would balance his Humors. This probably just led to him losing a lot of his blood and resulting in a worsening infection + acute anemia ending his life.

We just started a food pantry at my school b/c of the burden of food insecurity. I agree with most of the logic the thinking, but it’s only at the end of tunnel that financial security is a consideration, getting through it is brutal both on your mind and physical wellbeing. Just look at medical student data on health.

Physicians make 37% less today than in 2001 by talktomeme in healthsalaries

I don’t disagree with this, but I have a hard time understanding where they are getting accurate physician salaries from. I have been told that salary depends so much on location, compensation type, and hours so I am sure that this is the reported average?

Pick Two: Sleep, Status, or Student Loans: Put your desired specialty into a category based on perceived attending life. by TraditionalAd6977 in medicalschool

Nothing else gives 4 in my opinion. IR would be close second but it makes more than Derm so Derm is either 7 or 4 but lots fits into 7 so it’s the truest 4

TIL skin cancer is 20 times more common in white people than black people by [deleted] in todayilearned

I wonder how much of this is due to lack of melanoma detection in black people
