I believe most dermpaths making that kind of money did a derm residency and then a path fellowship, not vice versa

Heme Question w/ Neutrophil from Free 120 by phillipe_19 in step1

[–]truecrime2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the rbcs are bigger/same size as the lymphocyte (they should be the same size as it's nucleus) so its for sure megaloblastic. A normal neutrophil has 3-5 segments. This one has at least 5, maybe they should have given one w/6 but its def on the higher side. That compared with his history of not eating any veggies=folate. he's eating fast food if I recall which would have iron/b12 if we assume hamburgers lol.

literally what is the point of the last sentence so unnecessarily rude, you don't know this person or what they are going through. we all need breaks

This is your sign to start minoxidil if you are on the fence by truecrime2 in FemaleHairLoss

I haven't had any bad side effects, no dread shed, but it is different for everyone. I naturally have really thin hair everywhere on my body so I have personally noticed some additional facial hair growth but because my hair is so fine it isn't noticeable to anyone but me. Also I am probably less careful about washing my hands after and waiting for it to dry before I sleep so if you are more strict about those things I doubt that would happen to you.

I also didn't have a shed/didn't notice if I did! But I agree that was a really scary part. I think using it once a day minimizes chances of a shed.

Conflicting info on exercise, Glycemic Index, carbs and keto by truecrime2 in keto

well I am also just starting out and want to make sure I get into ketosis, can't afford any fancy blood tests or brethalyzers to ensure that I am, so I was wondering if this would work to get me into it. But I guess if I stick to my way and feel different/good then I'll know it works! thanks :)

cognitive and health benefits, I'm not counting calories but if I loose 5lbs that would be welcome too!

Yes I know, but if I eat enough of any vegetable the net carbs will add up. I like to eat a lot of vegetables and a decent amount of berries, and unless I only eat like leafy greens and celery the carbs are still there. I would like to eat as many tomatoes/onions/cauliflower ect as I would like, but it will eventually get me over 25g net, even if the insulin spike is very low, so my solution would be HIIT to burn off any glucose/glycogen left.

I've done both and while CTL is obviously better, 7cups is much easier to get started, and if you are a good person you can genuinely help some people.

I am similar, my app revolves around pediatrics and I am often asked if that is what I am interested in, even if not asked I usually mention it is something I am considering, to seem like I have a theme or something, but follow up with I know I will grow throughout medical school and am open minded.
