How many people have you accidentally killed

my left leg is numb in places
my right leg has pinching pain at the back of the knee where the veins are
i have no grip strength in left hand
i fall down allot these days
age 50 about 25 lbs overweight lifelong smoker

is it diabeetus or multiple sclorosis?

In terms of like, "Whoops, he's dead!", zero.

In terms of like, I operated on this patient, their cancer recurred, and they died a few months later....many.

I have a graveyard behind me.

whats your monthly malpractice premiums like?

have you purposely killed a nigger because he was scum?

i dont see no endothracheal tube nor thracheostomy. So he is dead. Go lie somwhere else.

how the fuck do you know what youre doing

What's it like doing surgery on someone, watch them recover And thank you and then hear they died shortly after anyways?

whats it like to be fucked up on opiates? Im a huge alcoholic, smoked weed for 10 years. Tried coke, M, shrooms but never tried shit like oxys, percs, morphine patches, phentanyle

was all the money/effort that you put into medical school worth it? How badly did you wanna kill yourself in med school anyway

cn i see the facial artery on that picture?

I'm not a neurologist, so I don't know. Sounds like mononeuropathy multiplex.

Like $30k yearly.

No, most of my patients are black.

It's spelled "tracheostomy". And trachs are beneath the level of the picture. You can barely see the top of the patient's thyroid cartilage. However, you CAN see a cuff balloon, which indicates to me that a trach or ET tube is just out of the picture.

That being said, none of these pics are of my own patients. I'm not a moron.

answer me faggot

YESSSSS

IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE YOU LAST POSTED

I LOVE YOU MAN

I ripped my Perineal raphe (as a circumcised male) near the tip of my penis, can I have surgery to fix this or nah

>ama
>doesnt answer
kill yourself

What are the most common surgeries you have to do?

What is the most common reason for your surgeries? Cancer?

time stamp with you in it you fucking autistic shit

you even know how things work here? no you dont becase 90% dont know how things use to be here.

DONT REPLY IF ANYBODY DONT TIMESTAMP YOU STUPID FUCKIGN BRAINDEAD MONKEYS

killyourself for your stupid ass question cocksucking faggot

OP how much money do you make per year gross?

Have you ever defrauded medicare/caid in violation of the False Claims Act?

Edgy summerfag detected

Many years of education (4 years med school + 5 years residency + 2 years fellowship) and practice.

Well, usually, I don't "hear" they died afterwards. As a head and neck cancer surgeon, it's my job to do cancer surveillance. So I usually pick up the unresectable recurrence or the distant metastasis or whatever.

It's brutal. I remember every one.

Don't know, never done them myself.

Med school wasn't so bad. Undergrad was harder for me intellectually. Residency was much harder emotionally, physically, and psychologically (just being able to do it day in day out).

I love my job.

Facial artery is taken with the neck dissection that's already been performed.

HEY CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO SAGE THIS THREAD

Should i jerk off now then sleep or sleep now and jerk off after?

no :*

What's the best poptart flavor Cherry or Brown Sugar?

i know you suck dick, stop telling me fucking faggot bitch nigger cunt

Actually you're right, as I'm gay :* Would you like to get yours sucked?

how old are you OP? can you say what city you're working in?

How often do you physically beat your scrub techs and how many of the nurses have you fucked?

Nah, I probably do one of these once every 2-3 months.

Yeah, probably. You can fix anything. Not sure how it's done though as a head and neck surgeon.

I answer plenty. I just answer slowly.

Most common surgeries are tracheostomies for obstructing tumors or ventilator dependence, biopsies to diagnose cancer, removal of the thyroid for goiters or cancer, neck dissections to remove lymph nodes at risk of cancer spread in addition to removal of head and neck tumors and reconstruction of the defect.

Most of my practice is tumors, but I do some trauma and random stuff that comes in on call (infections, etc).

Considering there are about 15-20 head and neck surgeons trained per year, it would be very easy to track me down.

I've been posting these threads for a while. You can believe them or not. I don't care. I'm a busy practicing head and neck surgical oncologist and microvascular reconstructive surgeon. I don't need to post tits on Sup Forums for validation.

~300k, no fraud.

sage all fields

It's my ultimate dream to go to me school and become a nephrologist. I'm in high school now and i have decent grades (straight A's) my only problem is I royally fucking suck at math I know I know here come the snarky comments. Anyway do you think the possibility of becoming a doctor is even close to possible without being able to learn math easily?

Any big vessels accidents? Do you panic when theres a bleeding you can't find?

What's the nastiest injury to the skull you've ever seen?

Lol! This whole fucking thread....... XD

Why not both?

Brown sugar. Haven't had one in about 15 years tho.

Late 30s, USA. That's all you're getting.

Never assaulted a scrub tech. I fucked 2 nurses as a resident. That's it.

Protip: Stop telling yourself you suck at math. You are capable of learning literally anything, given enough practice. I too used to "suck at math". Last semester I finished Calc 1 with a solid B.

You can do it. You will do it. Faggot.

Do you have a private practice or are you affiliated with a hospital or larger health system?

What are your thoughts on all the hospital M&A as well as the M&A we're seeing in the managed care space (i.e. Aetna / Humana and Anthem / Cigna). Do you think the antitrust allegations are founded or is the FTC just trying to look busy?

I have multiple deep ulcerations in rectum, about 10-15cm up, pathology shows nothing but chronic inflammation. Nothing further up than the sigmoid. Pathologist said it looked like intestinal syphillis, but that's been ruled out by multiple blood tests.

Currently waiting on my third specialist, been bleeding about 1tbsp per bowel movement since February (fuck Canadian healthcare...)

Any ideas what it could be?

love the faggot at the end. kek

How much has your salary dropped under Obamacare? Do you have any batchmates that specialized into psych and are doing well for themselves?

Math isn't such a big deal. Highest I got was like calc 2.

Plenty of big vessel bleeding. Getting into internal jugular or carotid isn't so bad....

Now getting into subclavian or innominate artery. That shit is sphincter tightening. Hold pressure and call the cavalry (vascular surgery or cardiac surgery).

See plenty of self-inflicted gun shot wounds. Entire face ripped off.

XD

it's a language, so keep on it. Eventually, you'll get it.

This guy has done tons of these threads dumbass

OP if this is your OC then you work at shithole hospital in a shithole town that doesnt know how the fuck to properly drape. AT ALL. you dont use the shitty fucking green towels like that. You use them when prepping and that's fucking it. Jesus christ

Was residency harder than clerkship? How do you manage with so little sleep?

He is a head and neck surgeon, he doesnt care about your butthole, it sound like a autoimmune desease

it isnt... he already said that. lurk more faggot

Academic affiliation with university physician group.

Administrators and insurance companies can go suck a dick. Add nothing to patient care. In fact, destroying American health care.

As a cancer surgeon, there's nothing worse than getting a procedure "cancelled" by an insurance company. My patients die if they wait for surgery.

Uh, ulcerative colitis? A hell of a lot more common than fucking intestinal syphilis.

Salary has been similar.

Go get him summer!!!

I'm with you. This guy's a fuckin fraud. Some Doctor's child posting probably.

what drugs do they give for cancer? What's the premise on which those particular drugs are chosen?

Thanks, and I'm not gonna even try. Been really depressed about my math issues lately. I was studying before and I dont know how but i got -0 on my calculator as an answer

Samefag

Wrong, im Nerd.

ouch Sup Forumsro sorry to hear that
I feel your pain, I've got a little mini graveyard behind me from some deployments

it's all about exposure man, it's just like any language

OP, I had a tight throat for a long time. I got my tonsils out. It seemed to help slightly. The tightness has slowly come back over time but it's not nearly as bad. I've had all imaging and everything done and it all comes back normal. Not sure what makes it better or worse, but the closest thing I can find online symptom wise is cricopharyngeal spasm. WAT DO

Is it possible to survive medical school with no friends?

I think the correct answer should be 1, am i right, cuz maths are performed from right to left
if not, then its just 9

god, just go ahead and kill yourself already

discord.gg/kv3NC we are medicine people

Is a thyroidectomy an outpatient surgery? How long am I going to be fucked up for? And how do I know if my surgeon is any good? What questions should I ask him/her?

Oh hey, the otolaryngologist is back! How's it been, man? Why do you keep coming back to our humble webzone? What's your favorite porn?

If they're brothers, then sorry mate. However, there's nothing more beautiful than watching your battle shoot a terrorist bastard in the face. But everyone is different.

I'm not good at languages either I've taken French for 5 years I'm not even close to fluent yet and its weird to explain but I feel like I'm number blind, don't know if any Sup Forumsros can relate.

None of these pics are mine.

However, some of these pics are from Jatin Shah's textbook. The man is a fucking god, and if he wants to use green towels to drape a patient, it's fine by me.

Residency was infinitely harder than clerkship.

As a med student, you're worrying about good grades and what people think of you. As a resident, you worry about whether you're competent or hurting your patients. That's a lot more important.

Think what you want. I'm not here to convince you.

Chemotherapy.

Back in the day, we discovered a bunch of compounds that kill "rapidly proliferating" cells (cells which divide frequently, like cancer). That includes stuff like vincristine or cisplatin or 5-fluoruracil. Just non specific shotgun agents that killed cancer faster than everything else.

Then we did research on what causes cancer and found molecular pathways. Then we created drugs that target these pathways.

Stuff like Gleevac was revolutionary for liquid tumors. In head and neck cancer, we use cetuximab (anti-EGFR). Next breakthrough is checkpoint inhibitors like pemprolizumab.

both dude, even the terrorists yeah they suck and need to die but they are still another human, still someones son/husband/father, despite being scum
also trips noice

Why the FUCK are you on Sup Forums?? It terrifies me to see people in positions of authority on Sup Forums.

hot the fuck did a fork get stuck in his cheek?

Sup Forumsro seriously would go fuck off n kill myself in a suicide explosion funded by the CIA in some shitty country before I went through what youve been posting................

If you wanted to kill yourself with a gun where would you aim it.

God it's so wild to me that I make $100,000 more than you annually and I literally never went to school. Weird feeling.

I probably have dealt with more uncertainty and stress though in carving out that world. You had a path.

As a histology tech, what's with the fucking frozen cases with 8+ parts per case?

left testicle
>death in less than 40 minutes

When you say tight throat, do you mean sensation that your throat is tight or has a lump in it?

Then it's reflux.

Probably, but you'll make some friends in med school. I'm pretty much FA, and I made friends in med school.

Most of my thyroidectomies go home the next day. "Fucked up" depends on whether it's for cancer or benign disease. Ask him how many thyroids he does per year and how many he does for cancer vs benign.

>Stuff like Gleevac was revolutionary for liquid tumors. In head and neck cancer, we use cetuximab (anti-EGFR). Next breakthrough is checkpoint inhibitors like pemprolizumab.

Kek sounds like the names some black woman would give her kids if she worked mopping the floors in the hospital and overheard em but didn't know what they were.

"Gleevac! Get yo ass ova here Gleevac and clean yo damn room! I am NOT gonna tell you again Pemprolizumab! Stop throwin your towels on the floor. Get the HELL off the phone Cetuximab! You been talking to that girl for 3 hours!! Damn you kids drivin me crazy!!"

Have you ever french kissed one of these open faces? Is 3600mg Gabapentin a day for a year plus going to fuck me up?

I have a pain that feels like what happens when someone uses a vibrator wrapped in barbed wire on ur pussy only its in the left side of my neck when I eat a lot of food why?

What's your line of work?

How do you differentiate so easily between different parts of the body when everything looks like a bloody fleshy mess?
Is it just practice or is it just as hard as it seems?

holy shit, i'm glad we're finally on a fundamentally more specific way of treating cancer growth. Checkpoint inhibitors sound fucking fantastic.

I have Hashimoto's disorder. Is there anything I have to worry about besides hypothyroidism? Will it get worse over time?

I'm applying for medical school next year after I finish a masters in biochemistry.

My MCAT is 95th percentile, but I'm going to be taking it again hoping for 99th so I can have at least some shot at a really prestigious school (my UG GPA is shit, 3.25, Grad GPA 3.9 so I need to have a massive MCAT advantage).

What are some specialties that will be intellectually challenging? I know neurology and neurosurgery, but what else is there?

Yeah. So it is silent acid reflux then... okay... I have a small hiatal hernia. I take prilosec once a day but it doesn't really do anything. I really don't want the wrap surgery, even if it has a high success rate in people my age. I don't really have acid reflux symptoms so the other theory we had was silent acid reflux, but since Id idn't have any symptoms and my endoscopy came back normal, we dismissed it. I was actually trying to get off of the Prilosec.

Any advice for what to do with that? I already sleep propped up slightly and don't really eat a lot of acidy foods, or over eat

OP I have a weird problem where every third meal or so (sometimes more frequently sometimes less) when I swallow food during a meal it will seemingly, and painfully, get lodged in my throat. If I force myself to gulp down a glass of water it pushes everything down and I can keep going like normal. Very disconcerting. If I don't have any water nearby I have to try and relax as it makes its way down but it takes awhile and is kind of painful and unsettling.

Any ideas? Spoke to a DR and he was like "reflux, next!" which doesn't feel right to me

What should I do if I want to have a career in surgery?

I'm only in my 30s, so I've been on Sup Forums since college. Way before I had any "authority".

Just a retractor.

You would be surprised how good it looks after everything is stitched up again.

Put in mouth and aim BACK. Not up. Aim towards brainstem.

True, medicine is almost like being on rails. I don't really have stress about my career or whether I'll keep my job or pay the bills.

I have stress about my day to day and whether I'm curing my patients' cancer.

Look at the holes in some of these pics. Complex 3D defects. In a radical tonsillectomy, I may do soft palate, 2x oral tongue, 2x oropharyngeal tongue, floor of mouth, 4x pharynx frozen sections.

And I'm sorry that they always come after 5pm...

I've left an abscess untreated in the root of my mouth for something like 10 years now. It comes and goes.

Is my head going to go gangrenous? No amputation pls

The answer is 1

There was a lady who tried to masturbate with a jack hammer. She died from the injuries. Do you think you would have been able to save her if she was on the operating table in front of you right after her masturbation attempt went wrong?

How bad is it?

imgur.com/pb1ovpJ

My right sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle are always painful. Am I gonna die?

1. No
2. Most I've seen is like 300mg tid, so 3600mg seems like a lot. But I personally don't prescribe gabapentin often.

no se

The really hard part is when tumor is invading though all that shit. So everything that you learned doens't hold true: normal structures are shoved around and replaced by cancer. That's when it gets tough. And you just cut it all out.

Here's the issue...chemotherapy has never been shown to produce a durable, repeatable cure in solid tumors (breast cancer, colorectal, or head and neck). It's a useful adjunct to surgery or radiation.

The only way to reliably cure solid tumors is to cut or burn them out.

Hashimoto's is often associated with other automimmune diseases like allergy or celiac or whatever.

And after the first couple of years, once it settles down, the hypothyroidism won't get any worse.

Oh look another jagoff masturbating to neurosurgery and neurology.

Every specialty is intellectually challenging. Find one that complements your personality.

I liked ENT because of the complex anatomy, surgery, and reasonable lifestyle without many overnight emergencies.

See a GI doc. You can go up to 40mg bid plus Zantac to sometimes calm your reflux.

Reflux

Go to med school, moran

...

how bad do the scars look after surgery?

I'll be sure to do that. Also, what's the stupidest thing you've seen a resident do? Like, order-wise. What's the stupidest thing you did as a resident? I work in radiology at a major academic hospital, and I want to believe that our residents aren't the only high-speed retards in medicine.

Genuinely curious, how likely is this to kill me? I've had a headache for 9 years.

Is self surgery a good idea?
