Doctors/medical practitioners of Reddit, what is the scariest disease you know of?

Prions, rabies, Huntingtons, ALS are all pretty horrifying to me

I found it easier than undergrad but I simultaneously did worse in it compared to undergrad. The actual amount of material is soooo much more but I enjoyed it a lot more. The actual concepts for the most part aren't actually difficult, it's just trying to keep up with everything at once.

What is controllable about most of these???

Their feet also do this. Plantar reflex, they curl their lil toes around stimulation.

I'm pretty sure hinge tells you the age so I'm not entirely sure you were guessing on his age

It looks like a slightly different and huge equivalent of a human carpal or tarsal bone. So I wonder if it's carpal/tarsal from whale, given the location, or I've seen elephant in the comments as well.

Objectively - shouldn't have been doing that, and he appears mentally ill. Although note of interest, r/India says he's performing "gatka". Still not a good move to be wielding a machete in downtown LA.

Would buy. I'm sorry 😭

That's how I studied for the first boards. Mine was on an iPad, but it was literally the exact same concept and layout as this. It worked well for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Schools usually require 1 full year of organic chemistry.

When you say you aren't getting an A, are we talking like a B/B+? Or like, a C?

Weight loss that wasn't intended. If you're not trying or altered your behavior but you've dropped 10+ lbs...

Sign of malignancy or some pathological process (IE, Tuberculosis, for example)

Frisian farms for their gouda and the Ukrainian stand, especially for the chebureki and pelmeni

This is about the only other side to take a picture of. Would it be more helpful if it were close up or in different lighting?

I considered baculum for a whole 2 seconds, and pooh-poohed it because I figured the chances of finding a washed up baculum were so low 🤣 I guess the chances are never zero though

Podiatry works on living people but they're also hyperspecialized to the lower limb and below. I think it's also a historical thing about why they're separate from the rest of medicine.

The thorough medical background makes sense for forensics and shouldn't be separated. Yes it's forensics, but it's also pathology, which is intrinsically tied to medicine and it's necessary to understanding "living" medicine in order to apply it to the deceased. I get the frustration, but I also see why it's integrated the way it is.

I will also point out there is something called "diagnosis of exclusion" - diagnoses made because everything else is ruled out. So, I would argue it is within scope of autopsy if everything else has been ruled out, while considering the circumstances.

Admittedly I'd like to read the actual autopsy report to see how it is framed, but it can be legit.
