| MrPeppers 06/30/19 11:16:37 PM #212 | So it sounds like Ngo is a total piece of shit. Just for clarification, a brain hemorrhage has nothing to do with whether or not a lump is present. Thats why they get head CTs instead of oh yeah, no lump on his head, youre good. Good post except for that doubtful garbage based off of a photo. --- |

| Topic | Maybe I should just go for med school |
| MrPeppers 06/30/19 10:54:30 PM #25 | My tuition was $14k per semester, and that was one of the cheaper med schools. That didnt cover living expenses at all. My friends were between $250k to $500k in loan debt (most had low 300s) Its impossible to have a job during medical school, and my assistant dean of student affairs highly, highly discouraged working. Medical school is your job. No one in my class worked because of the commitment. Residency pays $50k to $70k depending on the specialty and location. --- |

Its a 14 hour drive away from home, and I have a very tight knit group of friends who are very active. Given the longer work hours and distance, I get to see them maybe once every 3 months for just a weekend. We all keep up via GroupMe and snap, and they are out doing something 3-4 times a week and almost every weekend. Now 2 of them are about to have kids, the wildest one is getting ready to settle down and get engaged, and for the first time in my life I realized that the window of hanging out, partying and being stupid with friends, is more or less closed. If you value your free time and life outside of a hospital, I highly, HIGHLY advise against neurosurgery. Its a 7 year residency on top of medical school (+1 year for fellowship if you want it) and you will literally never do anything outside of walking between the OR, the neuro ICU, and your clinic. Theres a reason the running joke is How do you hide a $100 bill from a neurosurgeon? Tape it to his sons forehead --- |

And I missed out on so much during medical school. And I will miss out on so much more in practice. But it is nice to be able to help people, treat them and be there in times of joy and need. Its truly a privilege but it has its costs well beyond med school tuition. --- |

| MrPeppers 06/30/19 8:56:57 PM #13 | Aeriis posted... MrPeppers posted...Im a resident and I can tell you its not worth it. Its a huge commitment. I guess its somewhat hypocritical of me because given the option to do it all over again I probably would, even knowing what I know now. - 4 years of medical school, now with saturation (rate of new med schools is increasing disproportionately to the rate of new residency programs) so there is no guarantee of even being a doctor if you make it all the way through school. - 3 to 7 years of residency depending on the specialty. Residency is GRUELING. The amount of things demanded from you outside of your 80-100 hr work week is absolutely mind blowing and soul wrenching. There are tons of responsibilities thrown at you. Patient interactions are great, but the administrative stuff, along with insurances suffocating your ability to practice, takes away from your time with patients. - Fellowships are even more competitive and are extensively research based. There is so much CV padding and pressure to fill all of your free time with research, which almost always has no contribution to the actual field unless youre fortunate enough to get a grant from a major academic center like Mayo, Hopkins, Harvard, etc. - Reimbursements are constantly going down. Its not the brightest picture out there. --- |

MrPeppers posted...DeadBankerDream posted...So reading the actual real article not posted by a fake news site, seems like its perfectly reasonable that this decision was made. Not unless the pregnancy poses a risk to the patients life or some other extreme circumstance. Profound intellectual disability may be one of those circumstances, but not moderate. I edited a previous post with an article, Ill post it again here in case it gets lost in the sea of posts. https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/sites/journalofethics.ama-assn.org/files/2018-06/joe-1604.pdf --- |

Over here stateside, this would be a decision that providers would have to respect assuming the patient has some understanding of the situation, has been consented about risks/benefits/alternatives, and shows evidence of some decision making capacity.

| MrPeppers 06/24/19 2:27:02 PM #70 | This would not fly in the US. We actually had a case very similar to this last week. Patient with moderate intellectual disability and bipolar type 1 with episodes of psychosis. The patient and her mother wanted the pregnancy, huge evaluation and a bunch of multidisciplinary team meetings, and ultimately they seemed the pt and her mother fit to rear the child. Its absolutely repugnant that a UK physician and ethics committee feel as if their decision supersedes that of the patient and her mother, simply because of intellectual impairment. --- |

Why the fuck would she get breast reduction surgery? For multiple reasons? I mean she is Ashkenazi Jewish so based solely off of that she's at higher risk for breast cancer lol. That aside, plenty of women with big chests undergo reduction purely for a better quality of life. --- |

You cant just misattribute anything you want all willy-nilly just to suit your narrative. Understanding why or at the very least precisely how these processes happen is critical when making a claim like that. --- |
