My room is always messy. But for the most part I know where things are that I use on a daily basis. Problems arise when someone tries to "clean" for me, someone moves something, or I dont use something consistently. In which case, it no longer exists in my field of vision and even if it is...

We all live life through one perspective, our own. The process of self reflection is using that same perspective to look at what is going on "right now". Though the "right now" may change, the process of observing it does not change much(which is the feeling of the self)...

MD/PHD: Adds more years to your training which may or may not be unnecessary. Medical School will burn you out and leave you in massive debt, I never understood anyone who did both. Also, to be honest everyone I know that did MD/Phd was a super weird nerd. This may fit your personality or it...

I do not think that most here have "magical thinking" which is what my licensing exams seem to focus on when questioning us about schizotypal. It does not mean "daydreams about a magical world, or all the possibilities of reality". I think it literally means these people literally believe in...

Honestly, I dont care if you get a PCA and push that thing until you get respiratory depression and die. Pain is a shitty thing to live with and we are adults with free will, your life is your own. My post was simply to defend the side of physicians. The issue is not as black and white as...

I miss the days when facebook was exclusive. I was able to see almost the entire evolution of facebook from only a handful of universities, to being completely open to the public. With this openness came a lot of silly changes, which made me quit facebook and never look back. Sigh, I miss the...

Though you may be mad at the doctors, prescribing opiates for chronic pain would be like giving a kid the key to the candy factory. Would make you happy, yes, but unethical.

Im really into him as a musician. It is like he poured himself into his music, and it came out in the form of guitar melodies. To me he symbolizes freedom.

Seems like a lot of psych majors. I was a psych major, chem minor, MD. If I could do it all over again I would probably do something in physics or the culinary arts.

^^^^^^ Damn, did a search and did not come up with anything. Oh well, my bad.

Yea, based on most of the threads I imagined to see a lot of psych/philosophy majors. Come on people, I know we can get more than a sample size of 9.

Dropping out of High School is stupid. The problem with being an adult is that you are one before you even realize it. Your choices now will affect your whole life in ways that you have no means of comprehending at the moment. Get better grades, go to college, get a degree, then be a bum if...

^^^^^^ I would imagine most on here are any of the "schizo" disorder spectrum, with schizoid personality disorder being the most common. Internally and very analytical. Probably not the most healthy way as I imagine it is a means of suppression. As was already stated, weed helps. Self...

Just out of curiosity. It seems like there are a lot of people on here with specialized knowledge, which made me wonder what everyone's educational background was. College major, postgrad degree etc. I wonder if the answers will be skewed towards particular fields. I guess it would be more...

Learning and concepts are easy, memorizing is like climbing Mount Everest. If I already grasp a concept, memorizing the minutiae involved is like pulling teeth. Where is the fun in that? My brain isnt at work anymore.

Dont be a bitch, make a move.

I dont know what advice you want as you did not really ask a question. Broken ribs: Probably wont do anything about it unless she has >2 contiguous ribs broken in two different places causing flail chest Broken leg:You did not really describe all that well but I imagine she may need an ORIF...

I agree with this. In order to "connect" in a conversation, a person has to do exactly this or else they are not really "listening". I try to explain this to some people, but most do not get it. Then wonder why when they speak to certain people they lack understanding. It is sort of like...

I would say above average. As a teenager it always surprised me how many of my female friends would out of the blue tell me that they liked me. I was of course oblivious to this fact as I did not care much. Now, as an adult, I use my looks to fulfill my bodily needs and do not have much...

But the immune cells have been studied, and the mechanism at which they use to recognize self from nonself are from surface protein pattern differences. If what you are saying is true, then we should be able to find a difference between the patterns before and after the disease state in the...

I do not find most posts here incomprehensible. And though most are really long, I just assume that the poster has spent significant energy into developing a thought, and is now tasked with trying to relay it through language(which is limited). Not limited in explaining the thought...

The fact that there are synesthetes and people with photographic memory is evidence that we are not all created equally. I wonder if there are any twin studies on the subject as that would get rid of a lot of confounding factors I guess.

Three nasty abscess stories: About two months ago I had a patient with a 5 cm abscess on her forearm. She said that she was minding her business in her neighborhood when she saw a group of people congregating and up to no good. She decided to approach said group and tell them to disperse, but...
