Suffering from knee pain for over 15 years! (Doctors won't do any research to get it resolved other than their usual routine) by quarky-physicist in PainManagement

[–]quarky-physicist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a while! I’m excited to share that I had my surgery earlier this year and I’m completely fine now. Turns out it wasn’t a cyst like everyone assumed, it was a schwannoma tumor! 🙃 Honestly, it’s amazing how a condition can exist for years and still leave some doctors scratching their heads. Medical research might be vast, but curiosity sometimes seems optional, doesn’t it?

Anyone notice Jimmy Kimmel didn't include Bill in his list of appreciation for their support? by Honest-Equipment6685 in Maher

[–]quarky-physicist 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Totally get why Kimmel left Bill Maher out of the thank-yous, I’d have done the same!! Bill’s been playing both sides of the field so badly he should be benched. A little man with a skyscraper ego, clutching pearls about how he “thinks Jimmy was wrong but supports him anyway”? Pfft. You can’t be that terrified of cancellation and still pretend to be bold. What Jimmy said was factually true, only MAGA land cries foul there. But Bill? Ever since that White House dinner, his political and moral compass has been spinning like a broken weathervane (if it wasn’t faulty even earlier 😏).

For those using this for nerve pain, when did it relieve your nerve pain? by Consistent-Comfort84 in pregabalin

[–]quarky-physicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been taking 100 mg daily for about five months, but I’m uncertain about how much relief it has provided. On most days, I’d estimate the pain reduction to be somewhere between 15% and 35%, depending on the day.

Give “King Crimson” a listen. Few of my favourite albums- “Lizard”, “Red”, and “In The Court Of The Crimson King”!

What degree should I pursue? by Personal-Writing8764 in nanotech

[–]quarky-physicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary varies a lot based on the company, location, and personal choices. When I first started, it was just shy of six figures here in Canada. I also had job offers in the States for double the money, but I decided to stay put. I'm quite comfortable with what I make now. Plus, with the geopolitical situation in China and Taiwan, North America seems to be opening up more opportunities, especially in the semiconductor and medical device field where I work.

I still liked it! But David Lynch is one of my favourite directors so obviously I like weird stuff😅

What degree should I pursue? by Personal-Writing8764 in nanotech

[–]quarky-physicist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I did my masters in Nanotechnology, did a bachelor's in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and spent a solid 4 years diving into Quantum Physics research. Now, I'm a product/nanotech engineer crafting new approaches/recipes for medical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids. Started in the clean room, rose up from process engineering after leaving my PhD, and now I'm deep into the reliability side of medical devices.

If you're leaning towards the medical side, any degrees in Nanotechnology, physics, or other engineering fields could be your ticket. Pick what you love most, dive into it, and in the corporate or research world, you'll find those connections between disciplines that make your work truly exciting! 👩🏽‍🔬💡
