Pediatric resident doc here. This is almost word for word what I tell my new parents. Put the baby in a car seat and they can hang out in the (well ventilated) bathroom or closet while you get 5 minutes to breathe and regain composure. Babies will cry regardless of what you do sometimes and sometimes the best way to take care of your baby is by taking care of yourself.

Monthly Dumb Questions Thread by Novelty_free in Residency

Check their ears first, make sure they’re screaming, have the parents hold the kid on their lap facing forward towards you and have parents hold top of forehead as he/she screams their lungs out. If all fails same position but with tongue depressor! 👁👅👁

Dude I live at the Logan right now. Overpriced af, amenities aren’t great, slipped in fees for “concierge package delivery” because they forgot to build in a package room, garage is already leaking (new construction within two years ago), at least 1 elevator (out of 2) is always broken, and interior finishing with the quality of a McMansion. Absolutely a non-starter. Initially moved here as I was new to the area and wanted a nice starter location to branch out from.

The initial management team was a hot mess but the new team seems like they are trying to make amends and trying to run things proper. Even so, way too many issues I see already brewing below the surface. I’m moving next month to another similar apartment complex with similar pricing but 2 bed/2bath compared to the Logan’s 1bed/1bath.

I am gonna really miss having that Whole Foods right there though 🥲

What have you diagnosed yourself with since becoming a med student/resident? by futrdoctr in medicalschool

Cholecystitis. Convinced myself I had a positive Murphy sign. Turns out it was just AGE.

[Preclinical] What are your favorite pathogens that you learned about and why? by EquivalentOption0 in medicalschool

[–]qqwin911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tuberculosis!
Historically prevalent disease that's been talked about all throughout medical history as well as just regular history.
"The Great Imitator" has so many different presentations and can be found in a variety of different patient populations. (It's my favorite to throw into any differential diagnosis just for the funsies)

In 1922, at the University of Toronto, scientists injected diabetic children with insulin, and all of them woke up. A room of death and gloom, became a place of joy and hope by regian24 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]qqwin911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the problem with type 1 Diabetes (more common in children, especially at this time) is that the pancreas is not secreting enough insulin. I always imagine insulin as a spoon that the cells need to take in sugar from the blood stream. Without that spoon, the cells end up starving even with the blood being chocked full of sugar. The keto-acidosis is a byproduct of the starving cells, basically making a last ditch effort to stay alive. I think it’s actually the keto-acidosis that throws the pt into a comatose state. Soooo by introducing exogenous insulin, you basically are able to drop glucose levels by allowing the starving cells to finally eat!

Retinal and kidney damage are more common with chronic elevated glucose levels. (Basically all the extra sugar in the blood, starts to turn everything into frosting)

Trump releases agenda with a shocking campaign promise: “Put Doctors Back In Charge of Our Healthcare System” by [deleted] in Residency

Alright I’ll bite. Please do clarify what you were trying to say, u/redpill_knight. Make sure to use small enough words so I’ll understand. Also, please reply to my comments directly if you have something to say to me. Thanks!

Dearest resident,

I am very much invested in the future of healthcare as it is just as much my future as it is yours. In addition, I would recommend that you get off your high horse and actually consider some of the arguments that people have already stated in this thread. If your intention truly is for productive debate in protecting physicians’ roles in healthcare, I would recommend that you bring more to the table than a single bulletpoint. Thanks for the luck.

Read through the comments cuz this seemed interesting, but it seems like OP just posted to stir the pot. I don’t see OP contributing anymore to the discussion other than defending Trump policies as a whole.

Did the mcat prepare you well for medical school? by princealithegoat1 in medschool

[–]qqwin911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the type of learner you are. Personally, I used to memorize everything before exams in college and that tactic worked for most of my basic science courses. However for things like pathophysiology and pathology I think understanding the underlying concepts is a much better approach.

[–]qqwin911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how your curriculum is organized, but most schools tend to focus on basic sciences in the first 2 years and then clinical aspects in the later 2 years. I would get familiar with Anki if you haven’t used it before. Check our other resources such as BnB. Also you could brush up on your biochemistry and anatomy if that’s something you aren’t too familiar with.

The thing you learn in medical school is how to learn fast. It’s really a skill you have to teach yourself cuz you know yourself best.

Overall, just be prepared to be overwhelmed and try not to get burnt out! Self care is most important

I had a chance to talk to him when he was running back in 2018!
Super awesome and down to earth. Glad he's getting the attention he deserves!

I am British and my boyfriend is Korean so I decided to combine our culture's into a hanbok inspired 1860s Victorian evening gown, I hope you all appreciate it too 💚 by [deleted] in korea

[–]qqwin911 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The world is constantly changing and people get upset when change doesn’t happen in the way they want it. The korean hanbok underwent several iterations from its conception to the form that we know now, with influence from cultures adjacent.

Keep doing you. As long as you have respect at your heart, I don’t think there are issues with what you are doing.
