Can you GPs (including VETs) just narrow down a case to at least SOMETHING at all? Every time I visit one of you cunts I get 'lol it could be anything! either I'll do nothing or we'll test for everything!' I could have come to that conclusion at home. Quit being fucking pussies and be decisive, otherwise I'm convinced you haven't a clue what you're doing.

docs what do you make of this high I’ve been getting from staying awake for 3 or 4 days straight, is this bad long-term? I heard this can cause epilepsy though, is that legit?

i've got to do a literature review (yuck) as part of my degree and i'm quite annoyed.I was thinking a review of the impact "baby talk" can have on elderly patients seeking out health services and the wider consequences this can have on their treatment ?A interesting idea, yay or nay ?

I know, no advice, but fuck it. I want to hear from people who actually are or were med students.
Fellas I'm fucking tired and so far it's been 5 years of my life I (seemingly) threw away for this career. I've spent a lot of money (not american or european) and so far I have now barely passed to second year. My country really prioritizes rote learning and while I fucked up many entrance exam attempts..afterwards dealing with anatomy and histology has left me absolutely disgusted at this. I dislike my "friends" and pity my teachers, and every doctor I shadow seems to be an empty, soulless NPC...and I'm becoming one of them too. I loved every second of being in the hospital, even in my shitty third world south american country, and I love the concept of taking care of people and healing them, but I'm fucking tired. I've recently started doing business and I've actually did very well, I'm just good at general trades and made in a couple of months 3 times what the average here does in that period of time. I don't read (out of the things I'm forced to), I barely exercise, I think about killing myself at least once a month, I don't have a girlfriend since I started and I don't really like my friends (95% of them being fellow rat med school fags like me)... I just generally hate my fucking life anons.
At this point I'm facing the facts, I bought into a sunk cost fallacy the last couple of years and now I'm 23 with very little to show for it...while if I had taken an easier path I would have probably been working a job already and amassed the significant amount of money I wasted in med school by doing the investments I've now started doing.
And yet I just want advice guys. Very deep inside I want someone to come through and tell me "nah fag, just keep pushing" coupled with some tearful speeches about the beauty of medicine. But realistically, maybe you guys have went through the same hell but pushed through and at the end it was worth it.

wow, blood capillaries have actual pores in them
I thought that blood vessels were just permeable because they just areI know that progesterone causes blood vessels to become more permeable, so is that because it dilates blood vessels(?) it makes these pores larger?

wow, apparently your cells which binds matter destined for transportation in vesicles and then the cell runs out of being able to do that or something and then you get cancer or something, or cell apoptosis. what the cell is supposed to do, it runs out of, so basically you have cancer AIDS, and its because of parasites

Ever since Covid the percentage of patients that actually called me "Doctor" and were visibly paying attention when I'm talking to them instead of staring off into space thinking about what they're going to tell Grok or talk about with their "self-research" Facebook group (before AI) has gone down. I even had one bring in printouts of ChatGPT telling him he was right that his plantar fasciitis was the real cause of his shortness of breath because it "affected his gait" and that made him "breathe funny" because apparently if you do that long enough it will somehow change your breathing pattern permanently. Jesus I fucking hate my life.

ive tried for 20 years to IRL doctors. can one of you break your thread rule and help me like Dr. House from TV?I can't hold a conversation. I run out of things to say to everyone even not nervous. I've met literal down syndrome people who are better at socializing than me. My mind is always blank inside. My IQ seems to have went from 130+ (tested in GATE) to 100 since I was 10 or so. I'm 36 now.I have noticably way less to say than other people because I have nothing to say. I say this"Hows it going?" then the conversation dies shortly after the replyAll I want to do is smoke cigarettes and game and complain about how my mind is not right.I've told doctors this and they said I'm shy but I want to talk to people and don't get anxiety around people enough. I don't have things to say beyond saying everything I did since I last saw them and stuff I like. I can't make casual conversationI cant explain this in person because I have to write it out. If i try to in person I can't remember it all and have nothing to say.I've tried to get women from the internet for thousands of hours and failed every time except twice. One of those times I had to lie through my teeth to get her, and I was on meth.Only on meth do I have things to say. I feel very very few emotions besides anxiety rage and embarrassment if any.Is there any med fag who knows what's wrong with me? I thought I might be autistic or schizo but I don't know. I can't figure it out.Ive tried to self diagnose or get help for my mind for 20 years no doctor has helped. Started at 16, I'm 36 now. They've given me anti psycotics anti depressants bipolar meds and anxiety meds and nothing has worked at all, besides Vyvanse until toleranceCan anyone help me? when i write its all long winded and meth'd out. i dont do meth any more. somethings wrong with my brain doctors dont seem to care or knowhot female pic for your time and to get you to look at my post if you're a straight man

Not sure if it’s because I’m severely autistic or something but I’ve been lying to a group of people I know from high school and undergrad by telling them I’ve just been NEETmaxxing for the last 3 years and not in med school at all. Idk if it’s because like the thrill of being a “sleeper” or something but I’ve compulsively built this story to these people that I’m a washed-out loser
