Get rid of genital warts and go

How long do seroquel withdraws last?

Which will most likely come first, a cure for HIV or herpes?

What is your opinion on medical tourism?

I have pearly penile papules any help ?

If you are a responsible user then a week to a month

How would I go about harvesting kidneys and hearts properly. Where would I go to sell said items

>inb4 deep web

You’re full of shit

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just a natural phenomenon that comes about from countries having different types of healthcare.

I do however, find it troubling that some poor countries don't have access to the care we offer in the states or other western countries.

Stick around and see my responses before making ignorant claims

I constantly have large amounts of white stuff all over my the inside of my fat rolls. How can I stop this?
It's like whitish grey skin. It's sort of in the middle of water and solid

I'd say herpes. HIV being a retrovirus is incredibly hard to cure. Tbh though a breakthrough can happen any day.

Yeast infection potentionally. Try baby powder to decrease irritation. You being overweight is causing this though so you probably need to change your lifestyle as well. Get on /fit/ user

Hi doc.
I had common flu and now even though I'm healthy, I still have some slime in my lungs, and I cough. I can't cough the slime out and when i use drops or syrups ment for this, i just stop caughing. It's really frustrating. What can I do to get rid of this disgusting slime in my lungs?

smash any nurses>? best stories?

why do doctors insist on treating cancer in 90 year old dementia patients.

Sincerely,

Tired of your retarded shit, the hospice nurse.

Most docs I know wouldn't do this but they also wouldn't exactly discourage it if the family insisted to treat it. Autonomy is importamt in medicine.

Follow up,

why do doctors think its a good idea to do invasive ass surgeries, like whipples, trans-resections of the colons, etc on these same patients.

Have you retards ever heard of quality of life?

Will doctors ever come to the realization that you can't fix everything or is your god complex so fucking big that you can't fathom not being able to cure every disease.

Jesus Christ user he doesn't make the rules.

Then why do i keep getting these types of patients?

Do you guys even talk about EOL and palliative care? I'm so tired of educating families because their primary is a moron.

Your post is vague. Do you wish to stop being dependent on the drugs that stop the coughing? If those drugs work to stop the cough I don't see another reason why you'd be asking this.

Tbh I haven't heard of this you may want to see a respiratory specialist user

I'm sorry, Im just so dissociated from the medical field right now. I see retarded bullshit like this all of the time, I know families are to blame but i feel like , I say " No" to patients and families all the time, doctors swear an oath to do no hard and yet I frequently have patients that shouldn't have had chemo/ invasive surgeries/ treatments, and I end up having to cleanup/ maintain the mess.

Tired of the medical field.

Read an article in the New Yorker titled "What Does It Mean To Die?"
It was published about two weeks ago and discusses why patients keep asking for these interventions.

Dude there are good docs (the ones who treat
or refuse to treat patients because they actually care about helping them over all else) as well as shitty docs who do it for prestige/money/etc. Find a doctor you can trust. Medicine is a two way street between doctor and patient decisions.

i want my coughing to do the work it's ment to do: get the slime out of my lungs. if I stop using drugs, the coughing stops, but the slime is still in my lungs. i want that crap out. the coughing drops are supposed to liquidise that slime and make it more easy to cough it out, right? but they don't do that, they just make me stop coughing. it's gettin' on me nerves

Serious broski, help me get rid of my genital warts before i kill myself

i want to grow 5 inches i'm 22 5'8 is that limb lengthening operation safe? will i ever be able to jog again?

Obviously we talk about these things. I had an entire class in medical school about ethics and we read "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande which was about not treating death as medical problem but an eventual reality

I'll check it out, sounds like an interesting read.

I understand, you're blowing off steam. I didn't know there was any room for morality in medicine to be honest. I thought you just had to do what the law told you. Be completely impartial and do as the patient requests.

See a respiratory doctor I cannot help you with this it is honestly foreign to me. I'd have to run tests in person if I wanted to treat you but obviously I can't do that here

I'm going to check out that book, thanks.

40yo smoker in good health. I exercise 3x a week etc. 2 packs a week on the cigarettes.
I have a dull pain on my lower LEFT side below my diaphragm. No physical injuries. Had it for about two years. No fever etc. Had it checked, nothing found wrong but it still hurts. Maybe 3/10 on worse days. Any ideas?

thanks doc. i just thout of something: maybe it's because i don't drink enough water, so the slime is too dry and behaves more like a hard object, rather than a fluid. anyway, thanks for your time.

If you like it he has another amazing read called The Checklist Manifesto. Gewamde is an American surgeon and author but in this book he discusses revolutionizing surgery through simply applying checklists to the ER

Why is idarucizumab being advocated for use despite the fact that there are no randomized controlled trials against placebo?

how to cure phymosis quick?

probs your muscles (not OP)

I suffer from a sleep disorder where I fall asleep about 30 min later every night, but always sleep 7-8 hours. This means my sleep/wake cycle shifts completely around the clock every two months or so.

Doc prescribed my Trazodone. This worked great for making me fall asleep at a consistent time every night, but gave me heart palpitations, so doctor recommended I discontinue using it.

Next he prescribed me some sort of anti histamine. This did not help at all and always left me feeling groggy as fuck the next day.

What meds would be the next logical choices for this sort of disorder?

Honestly I think it differs from country to country.

the medical industry is still a buisness, in the US for instance, if you have the money, you can get the treatment. In countries with publicly funded healthcare, I am sure there is a point where the PCP just says " no".

I guess I really just want doctors to tell family members/ patients.


You are (insert old age here), you have these pre-existing diseases, is this something you really want to put yourself through, given that it has a ( realistic percent) chance of actually working, and then explain to them some of the things they will be going through.


choosing for your love one to die is a hard thing to do, It was hard for me to do and I have a medical degree, but I did it.

I feel like the biggest problem is poor patient/ family education.

>I constantly have large amounts of white stuff all over my the inside of my fat rolls.
stop being a fatfuck

i have a skin bridge (google it) it’s not a huge bother but should i get it removed

This is a serious problem I don't deal with these people though I refer them to a urologist

I have no breathing issues, and I can work out and run both long distance and sprints fine, but I usually feel like there's a lot of mucus in my chest when inactive, and if I were to just cough, there's a very hoarse sound and a rough feeling right around my sternum.
I've never had pneumonia or bronchitis, and I've never been diagnosed with asthma, but I have had something similar to an asthma attack twice now and I can't really afford a bunch of doctor visits and/or prescriptions. I've had physicals done and they don't hear anything wrong with my breathing. Pls help.

I have some white stuff on the back of tongue. What is? How get rid of it.

tell your uncle to use your ass instead of your mouth

Brush it off, use mouthwash. I'm not a fucking dentist but cmon man..

I always brush and use listerine sometimes. It comes back.
Fuck you

have a pulled brachialis from repetitive stress from driving. how long will this suck for me.

>> I will admit ignorance
Clearly not really a doctor, in my experience 'doctors' are the most incompetent and dishonest 'professional' you are likely to encounter. As a rule their strategy for dealing with a patient whose illness they dont understand is: wait for it to get worse and maybe that will jog my memory from med school, in the meantime try to convince the patient that they are imagining their symptoms.
Useless motherfuckers, you're far better off consulting Google.

viral infection or cancer. When was last time you went to your dentist?

For an average sized male, what is the maximum amount of masturbations per day to not suffer any medical troubles?
How many times would you have to masturbate to die?

try something over the counter (zzzquil) if you haven't already. I don't recommend you use medicine though when you can just make a lifestyle change. Figure out your own body and what helps you get to sleep. There are countless solutions and tips online. Meditation comes to mind.

However I have trouble believeing you can't induce sleep at any other time than 30 mins past the time you dozed off yesterday.

former paramedic, current PA here. I went the PA route after multiple docs i worked with told me that they hated the hours and bored with their work but were stuck in their specialty because they had to pay off their student loans. Do you at all feel that way or have you seen that trend?

I've admitted ignorance multiple times in my career and ITT. You're ignorant and a cynic

>useless
Just stop going to the doctor then user and use jewgle for medical advice

If a human i dazed with gasoline and set on fire, such as the buddhist monks in indochina:
How long would you feel pain?
How long before unconciousness sets in?
What would you die of?

Hate to pester, but the genital wart question was legit.. what method do you think is most effective? Im only 20 and i feel like this is totally going to ruin my whole life

get pain in right side at the bottom of the ribs and i drink a lot. Been happening probably 3 months. How long before i do serious damage?

I agree. In about 15 years we should have machines that can give you proper diagnosis at much cheaper rates. Too bad the government would never allow it.

if i saw warts i would abandon ship immediately and say nice knowing you.

PM&R resident here, what is your honest opinion of my specialty (assuming you even have one)?

Its probably too late user

There is something sharp at the beginning of my asshole like inside, feels pokey, wtf is this?

>have a pulled brachialis from repetitive stress from driving. how long will this suck for me.

I have these bumps on my penis and I have no idea what they are, any clue?
Am a virgin so no std or sti

could be useful since babyboomers are coming. Still think physiatrist is most imporant for MSK though

Seem pretty normal user dont sweat it

Motherfucker your liver is probably going to be shot if you don’t stop drinking my guy

Hair follicles

Short answer smoke inhalation and subsequent suffocation.
Medium answer temperature rises until your proteins denature and your heart or lungs stop working.
Long answer dehydration from skin loss.

Smalcok syndrome, so terrible...

Will they disappear or stay forever?

Hey doc, why does my can of campbells make lightning ??

I have a calls on the side of my toe what do I do?

I work private practice and make more than the average general practitioner (210,000/yr). I don't regret anything. PA is a great route but you will forever have a boss who is an MD/DO. I work for myself. If you're straight out of high school and get into a PA program it's def worth it to take that route because it takes 4-5 years to make 6 figures as apposed to 12 years for an MD (undergrad, med school, residency). Also PAs have the opportunity to move around easier than a doctor. I knew a PA who was doing thoracic surgerys for an elderly thoracic surgeon. He then moved to help a neurosurgeon later in life and now assists in neurosurgery.

Fighting the urge, everything else in life is fucking great so trying not to focus on it. 90% of cases clear within 2 years so trying to be positive lol

Sorry, almost forgot widespread sepsis and shock.

totally normal my dude i have some too

>not treating death as medical problem but an eventual reality
you really had to read a book by some random faggot to realize this obvious truth?

Physics

Hey doc, i have this yellowish spot on my left ball, i am pretty sure its a sebhoreic gland. As you can see in pic rel, its pretty big, and i squeeze it out with a pinch movement with my index and thumb when it gets bigger. Its kinda hard consistency. It always grows, do you think, should i be worried?

seriously, i can't raise my arm lateraly at all and it hurts like a bitch. no apparent bruising tho. when about can i expect to get my arm back.

Fordyce spots my dude, harmless, there are treatments but not worth it.

Please answer I'm worried it's getting worse and I don't know what's wrong with me

What goes through your mind when you finger middle-aged mens buttholes?

have you tried showering?

You're an asshole my man. Let me rephrase what I said for your clinically significant small brain. The thesis of this book was that at times, doctors treat death as a medical problem, and this isn't always the best approach.

Sorry someone close to you paid the medical Jew lots of money just to die in the end ;)

I have the same thing. Had the flu but now it always feels like i need to cough something up. Sometimes if I cough real hard, a little grey slime comes out of my lungs.

That's the beginning stages of Herpes. Were you touched or molested as a child? The virus can lay dormant for many years.

Ask them to stop calling.

is op kill?

Properly identifying shit out of people is stupidly hard.

Why can't we cure death or reverse aging with genetic engineering? Duck death, it belongs in the past like smallpox and all the other shot we have vaccines for.

>I have the same thing. Had the flu but now it always feels like i need to cough something up. Sometimes if I cough real hard, a little grey slime comes out of my lungs.
That's the jew flu, they have infected your mind with monkey blood and chaff easily controlled with cell tower signals now

I've got a big crack. It's in my butt.

Please. My ear hurts. Went to a doc. She did a basic medical check. Said it was wax. Gave my antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pills. Finished it. And it still hurts like a motherfucker. Is it a bug?

For years I've had this pore on my back where every now and then I can squeeze it and like a little string of white stuff comes out that smells like cheese. I enjoy rolling in on my fingers and sniffing it. Is this wrong?

Why is it that the really hot farts are the ones that stink the worst?
