>How do I cure IBS?
>>769038650
What's a reasonable upper age limit for members of Congress?
cure?
not sure about curing it
but
probiotics
regular exercise
a healthy diet
and stress management
upper limit?
that's tough to put a definitive number
coming up with a standardized battery of cognitive tests would be a nice start
make the results public
retesting based on current law practice should be mandatory
in medicine we have to sit for our boards every 10 years regardless of standing if you want to continue to practice medicine
why not the law?
Should I go out shooting photography or stay in and play Banished?
shoot the photograph
you'll get more out of life
>>769040422
but I've been out tons already this week and the place I want shuts in 2 hours
Fuck it, going anyway
why are mediterraneans superior to wh*te people?
no doubt the Romans advanced civilization more than almost any other past dynasty
however, which society is thriving at this point?
scandanavia is more technologically advanced, has a more refined systems of education, health care, transit, and even prison than almost anywhere on earth. the quality of life, longevity and health of the countries' people are far better than what is going on in the mediterranean
>>769038650
BSN then med school. Is that a bad idea?
honestly
it's not a difficult degree
you had better be top of your class and crush the MCAT to be competitive
>>769038650
Is it easy for you to score ketamine?
If you haven't tried it yet, i highly recommend
for me specifically, it'd be pretty easy to get K
but for most docs, it'd be difficult to readily access it
not very interested in being dissociated by it
have seen some pretty weird situations
>>769042721
Fuck i wish we were friends.
Elaborate on weird situations pls
>>769038650
Hip flexxor hurts during 10k and marathon , should I stop running and go see a doc? What kind of serious damage could happen
weird situations:
screaming, yelling
thrashing about
needing sedation
shit like that
My scalp burns the morning after I drink alcohol. What is happening?
hip:
lots of stretching - obviously
foam rolling - legs + back
see a PT then a Dr
likely just result in pelvic and back pain
i wouldn't think anything insanely bad would happen outside of pain
>>769042915
Not OP, but bored med student. Depends on the level of strain. Presuming it's not something neurological, and something you've maybe had before, it shouldn't be too serious. If it's only a slight strain, then giving it a bit of rest (avoid running for a bit) and heat pack treatment helps. If it's severe, going to doctor is what I'd recommend. He can hit you up with some painkillers and do some basic MSS examinations and check out some other options, i.e. surgery.
Personal recommendation here, but keep in mind only a student, i'd avoid overflexing your hips and anything that'd involve flexing your hips (even sitting might hurt).

does the soul exist, or is our consciousness just electricity and chemicals having fun in our brains?
>>769038650
Been bloated for like a month, usually have a flat stomach. Been to the dr. They thought it was GERD, took Prilosec and Zantac for like 3 weeks with no change, they’ve taken blood and learned nothing. Now they want to do a stool study.
What do.
>>769038650
what combination of substances/pills can i take to kill myself painlessly?
>>769041623
Well, as an Italian I have to defend my country.. somehow. I don't think that longevity and health are any worse here. QoL is an entirely different matter, in particular in the south, which is severely undeveloped when compared to EU standards.
Still, we have the worst politicians in the world. Thanks Trump for making everyone to forget Berlusconi, but we're still in deep shit right now.
>>769044047
that's beyond my training as a dr
i'd like the think there's something deeper but I may be just fooling myself to not live a completely hedonistic life
>>769044171
likely diet-related
keep a food journal for your next dr's appt
try probiotics
drink plenty of water
avoid alcohol
decrease dairy and wheat products
>>769044670
cool, so, you're basically a closeted nihilist?
>>769044186
nothing over the counter comes to mind that would be painless and effective
1st - don't do it
but, being in medicine, i can give you plenty of reasons why someone might do so because of health issues
2nd - talk to a mental health professional
>>769044809
i'm not closeted in my beliefs
i don't pretend to have the answers like those who ascribe to religion do
Military fag here. i excercise regularly and have a "balanced military diet" consisting of galley garbage.
So im in shape for the most part but i have this belly fat i cant fucking get rid of and nothing i do helps. is there anything short of lipo that works because 2 - 3 hours of gym time followed by forced shitty PT isnt doing shit.
>>769044898
very good answer, sir. You sound like a in intelligent person, a rare sight in this community.
>>769044959
belly fat is a combination of genetics + diet
you may be limited in your dietary choices right now but do your best to eat about 1gm protein per lb of ideal body weight.
avoid empty calories
decrease carbs
you're going to have to lose weight as body fat which will require some caloric reduction- but i wouldn't go lower than 300 less per day or you'll feel shitty.

thanks
i've been on /b/ for quite awhile but rarely reply or post anything
most of /b/ is garbage but there are definitely some gems in here too
>>769044828
>1st - don't do it
my body my choice
how about a large dose of Trazodone?
100mg puts me to sleep in ~1 hour, so i think maybe 2000mg would do the job
>>769044740
Thanks boss
I think I'm constipated. How do I fix it?
>>769045338
sure, it's your choice
as I said, there are reasons that I completely understand
however, i feel that almost all justifications for suicide can be solved by other means.
not sure about your dose
weight-dependent, of course.
based on what i read below, it would take a lot
again, i am opposed to you doing so

1st - understand that everyone's bowel regimen is different - constipated to one may be normal to another
plenty of water
exercise
high fiber diet
try drinking some coffee
if that fails, and you don't have medical contraindications, try over the counter meds at the recommended doses
if still failing, see your dr

How do I treat psoriasis on my shins and mad dry ball skin medfag?
I had sex in the missionary position with a known female std carrier for the sole purpose of pleasure, what are my chances of catching something provided i washed thoroughly immediately after sex?

I recently got an office job and became more sedentary. Could that have caused this? Just feels like my shit is too big to come out
>>769038650
What food would you like Andy to eat prior to shitting down your throat
I saw a thread about McDonalds here earlier. Do you think McDonalds would enhance the flavor, give it a little spice?
Other benefits of eating shit:
- calcium
- proteins
- already digested so no need to chew or digest it
- full of organic bacteria which help the natural flora of your own body
- taste pretty damn good
- Andy Sixx is a God when he shits down my toilet hole
>>769046100
insightful
yes, that's very possible
do above things
move around more - for this reason and overall health
>>769046070
psoriasis is a bitch
see a dermatologist
there are creams, lotions, light therapies, and even biologic agents for it
dry balls
moisturize them like the rest of your body unless you want to ashy

>>769046089
not sure of an exact % here
would depend on a lot of factors:
type of STD
if she had active lesions
if you had any open areas yourself - recently shaved even
