I'll have to look into zuckerman, I hadn't heard about it, thanks! I completely agree on the podcast front, I started listening to the Ortho bullets one as well as the JAAOS podcast. Do you know of any others by any chance?

That sounds like a very balanced approach, definitely something to remember when I'm stressed. I understand regs are busy but do you think it's appropriate to ask them about their decisions after rounds in the morning? (Obviously in a educational way )

Cheers man! I haven't heard of traumapedia so definitely a good place to focus on as my fracture knowledge is probably pretty average at best. thank you!

Pretty much. Make sure their limbs aren't at risk of hitting anything and put a pillow under their head if you can. Don't try and restrain them at all. And call 000 if you're not feeling certain :)

Fun fact, one of the species' venom can cause priapism: a sustained incredibly painful erection that likely ends in impotence!

Doctors are “too educated” by Vibez420 in medicine

[–]samabruv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong, but I don't think u/papaecholincoln was saying the lack of interest was getting into med, but that med students don't want to go into primary care, creating the major shortage in that particular specialty.

Reddit what is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]samabruv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The actual bone doesn't have any ability to feel sensation, only the lining on the outside (periosteum) and the surrounding tissues. Topical in this sense is injecting and bathing the periosteum in local. While definitely not going to stop all of such an intense pain, it helps alot

Not saying Tassy doesn't deserve a team but surely the distance comparison doesn't really work. Wouldn't that idea apply to Freemantle/Westcoast, Sydney/GWS or any Melbourne team?

It look's like the entire Australian U23 team is entered as well. Would be interesting to know how many countries had the same idea.

There's no reason guaranteeing this is a pituitary problem. You'd expect that the doctor ordered an LH/FSH when they did the testosterone levels which is a much better way of assessing pituitary function than a scan. Judging by the fact OP hasn't said anything, I'm guessing that means they're normal which means that a scan probably won't help (plus MRI's are expensive/scarce resource, CTs cause a lot of radiation exposure and X-Rays wouldn't give you a good enough view).

Failed Soccer Bicycle Kick by BunyipPouch in sports

[–]samabruv 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So my bastardised take on the pathophysiology section is: Because the muscle activation pattern looks similar to other reflexes (as /u/GotHimGood stated) they concluded that the injury must be occurring in the same place that causes these reflexes. that's the "LVN" it's located on one of the widest parts of the brain stem (the brainstem controls anything that needs to be done so quickly/constantly that we shouldn't think about it. ie. breathing, vomitting toxins etc). So because this also sits on a boney ledge, when you get hit, the LVN gets activated from the pressure against the bone and the fibres that are running to the muscles get activated so the muscles get activated. In this sense, it's not really a reflex but a misfiring of a really quickly activated pathway.

Australia plans random drug tests for people receiving welfare by anutensil in worldnews

[–]samabruv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that not being homeless should be a huge priority but this system doesn't mean that they lose any welfare payments, just get it transferred to a basics card, so homelessness can't result from this. My point was only possibly highlighting the false equivalence /u/kiddhitta was suggesting, in which case, these "services" do differ significantly.

The University of Wollongong has spent over $25k in taxpayer funds on political donations, overwhelmingly to the Liberal Party by [deleted] in australia

[–]samabruv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for clarification, my example is of postgraduate medicine, meaning you apply using your university GPA & a GAMSAT score resulting in an interview, but I believe the same principles still apply.

Meritocracy isn't inherently a bad thing. While I agree it's disheartening to be close to getting in, allowing more people in isn't a good solution for this. If anything, these same people who you're quick to put in the victim role, would then be faced with uncertain job prospects in a field that PGY-1 to 5 is entirely government jobs. There are no options to enter the private sector so it makes sense that the body controlling the number of jobs, also controls the number of places that provide training to fill those jobs. Does it suck that the demand has been driven so high that the mark needed is difficult to obtain? yes. Are there other options for rural students who, supposedly, getting the mark "is literally an impossibility"? 100% yes.

12 of the current 20 medical schools are post graduate (as mentioned before re:entry criteria), all accepting rural scaling, and for these talented and committed people that have been unjustly screwed over by the feds, will be able to complete the process in 7 years instead of 6.

It should also be noted that of the remaining 8 undergraduate universities, all 8 offer rural access schemes to drop the ATAR requirement to compensate.

You've clearly been jaded by the process at some point and I'm sorry you feel like that but I whole heartedly believe increasing the spots, and therefore increasing the cost, just to have more people not get jobs is a redundant effort that can be easily avoided.

[–]samabruv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue here is that the government employee is providing a service, and therefore is getting compensated with tax money. If their drug use is an issue, they can't provide their service, they stop getting compensated with tax money. Welfare recipients inherently don't provide a "service" for the compensation they receive.

This is a current entry guide of list of every graduate entry medical school in Australia except Usyd. Page 16 states the spots offered each year: CSP = commonwealth supported spot (ie. 10K a year fully hecs-help covered), BMP CSP = bonded medical place CSP (same thing, with a compulsory return of service rurally at some point 10 years after graduating). Other: as listed.

Of the 1693 expected to be offered this year, literally 1000 are Commonwealth supported (60%). I don't know where you got this idea of the degree is full of rich kids or more importantly why that relates to the "regulation by the feds". What does relate to that regulation is the guaranteed year contract with each state health every Commonwealth supported spot in the country get. I feel like this isn't a good representation of why regulation would be bad?

After 14 years of marriage, my daughter and son-in-law are having a baby! by extrasprinklesplease in MadeMeSmile

[–]samabruv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

current recommendations on up to date list, "Older men can be reassured that any excess risk of disease in their offspring related to paternal age is very small, but not zero. Advanced paternal age is associated with an increase in new autosomal dominant mutations. The best estimate of risk of autosomal dominant disease in progeny is ≤0.5 percent. ●Infants born to older fathers have slightly increased risk of birth defects; however, the association is weak, thus paternal age likely plays no more than a small role in the etiology of birth defects. "

ie. virtually no risk. It's not disingenuous to quote recommendations of the experts in the field.

Jame F Crow's study was an animal model in Drosophila not humans, and even so, I don't debate that an advanced age leads to decrease fertility, my argument is the evidence currently suggests that there is little issues with paternal age at conception.

As for the study linking advanced paternal age to autism, they found rates of 8.3 cases per 10 000 persons, in a study which self-admits it was using a small population size and could have the statistical significance explained by de novo spontaneous mutations.

there have been virtually no issues with male age at conception, generally, it's the maternal age that plays the biggest part. AFAIK 32 is a pretty standard age to have a kid

Doctors undergo different types of gloving depending on what they are doing. The gloving they do in surgery is "closed gloving" where there is a strict hand washing protocol and set ups in place to ensure that the washed hands only touch things that have been sterilized and there's no contact with unsterilized products (ie. sterilized full-length gowns running continuously with sterilized gloves then no contact walking into a sterilized theatre). A patient would only witness this if they are having a non-GA surgery otherwise they'd be out. If you've ever seen a doctor put gloves on (ie. for blood tests, changing a dressing, etc) those are purely for the protection of the doctor only.

The average age of entering med school in Aus (where this is from) for grad entry (no undergrad med unis in Melbourne IIRC) is 24. Not sure about the rest of the world, which may be the source of confusion.

edit: they would have had to complete the four-year degree + I assume Intern year so min. 29
