Ask a doctor anything.......

You felt fine and your doc said you have mono? Did they get their MD off ebay?

I say it was an allergic reaction, as the rash pretty much explains it. A blood work is always nice to have, as it's an excuse to check up on other things as well.

yeah i have felt completely fine since friday. when i left out of there, she give me numerous print-outs, including one that thoroughly explained mono. most likely will go to the doc (my regular doc) and catch him up to speed to everything that happened and get some blood work done unless he thinks its absolutely a waste of time. thanks for your help. repped.

Hard to get at this situation online, have you seen a dermatologist about this?

just curious, are you just googling **** and coming back with answers or are u legit?

and yes I have, all he gave me was a cream (can't remember name right now) it's upstairs. It contains Tar and it's thick, yellowy. It worked for a while, but it has stopped working.

[aspiringxhuman]

well im from canada so programs might be different

are you saying bio courses after my freshman year will require calc?

Generally, many universities will have a "core set of courses" for 1st year science students which includes calculus, biology, chemistry and physics. This is often a degree requirement, without which you cannot get your degree! Then in your 2nd year you move to more biology based courses, however organic chemistry and biochemistry are staple courses.

I'd strongly suggest you get one.

What herbal supplements have you used to aid your sleeping? Any other natural remedies?

I have just tried melatonin and that didn't work very well..do u have any suggestions on what remedies might help??

Sorry for so many questions lol is this just a phase I'm going through or am I fuked for ever ?

Get me the name of it and perhaps post pictures. Derm is a field where "seeing" is critical to diagnosing. You should be more polite when asking for help.

I would try chamomile and valerian (seperately), and then combine with SAMe and tryptophan. Add on some melatonin and ZMA as well. Try a hot shower as well before sleeping.

More than likely this is a short term phase and soon it will be over. What's the longest you've slept normally for?

sorry man I'm just sick of not receiving proper help over numerous years. Will report back with name, and I will get pics for tomorrow.

how do i strengthen tibialis anterior. Also, how do i dosiflexed? How can there be proper form on running. I just run like with normal reflexes. Is the whole foot suppose to make contact with the pavement cuz my front part hits first then the back.

I usually sleep 5-6 hours on a GOOD night..however I have slept maybe 5 hours in the last 4 days...

Thnx for your help

my degree requirement are just 2 bio courses and a philosophy course

its a bachelor of arts no sci for bio

im bad at math, never taken chem or physics. do i need these courses if i want to be a sports doctor physical therapist or strength and conditioning trainer for a pro sports team?

im great at plain bio and exercise science. im pretty solid at english to. what courses do you suggest i take in uni 1st year? i cant take chem or physics as i never took them in HS, but i can take them through private school/cc

Oh I see, then you wouldn't have a problem with that.
To be a sport medicine doctor, you need to first become a family doctor (most common route) then do a 1 year fellowship in sports medicine. PT has a whole different route as you will go to PT school after completing your degree. As for trainer, that will be down to your education/credentials and how well you market yourself. No specific university courses will help really in getting in...

Not taking chem/physics really limits your options in terms of medical schools in north america... so think about that anyway.

I'd get on those supplements right away.
Do you have anything else going on in your life that's stressing you out or causing anxiety?

You'd strengthen it by doing dorsiflextion exercises. Youtube it for a good video.
I'd need to see a video to correct any mechanical errors.

[aspiringxhuman]

do you suggest i try to take chem/physics? i would have t take them in cc

Taking them in CC would qualify you for american schools pretty well I think. However, it is better to take them in CC then take in uni in your upper years. This would allow you to apply to every med school in Canada (provided you have a full year of english). Also take chem/physics during summers if possible.

You're not "great" at bio if you're not well versed in physics and especially chemistry.

Biology is the marriage of physics, chemistry, biochemistry, math etc.

And I would say no, you probably can't become a doctor without chemistry and physics. Anyone that disagrees with me hasn't taken the MCAT yet.

No not at all.. I'm actually happy..except when I don't sleep then I get depressed n shyt

lol I'll admit I forgot all about the MCAT, too sleepy right now

Yea you'll need chem/physics for sure in order to do your MCAT as it makes up 1/4 of it in value. While MCAT prep guides/courses are good, they only help if you have a background in the physical sciences.

Though I wouldn't say biology is related to those fields that much... biology courses are memorization based while physics/chem/math is calculation based.

And what time do you actually try to sleep and wake up at?

[Huckrg]

Common sense. It's practically impossible to get it right every single time in medicine.

You've obviously never tried to diagnose a cross short or a backfeed through a ground

Best way to get my GP to stop ignoring my low test scores and actually refer me to an endo/give my shots/do something about it?

[N01SYtZ]

yo OP

100% srs

am i dying?
tired all the time, stiff neck, headaches, skin is dry as **** especially around my nose, easily bruising

[aspiringxhuman]

i need to take a year of english to do med?

Many med schools require a full year of english as part of their pre reqs. Could do it during 4th year, just as long as it's done by the time you begin.

Hmm.

Senior Molecular Bio major, and all of my upper level molec-bio courses have been applied knowledge. Haven't had much memorization bio crap since sophomore year. Bacterial metabolism, Immunology, Bacterial pathology, Animal Physiology...all had physics calculations in them, all had biochem pathways, all had poly-organic compound rendering etc.

what are your test scores?

[Murderous Muz]

step 1 score? tips on what to do in last 2 weeks before step 1? i have step 1 in 2 weeks

[shaf_nz]

what are your test scores?

gah... I'm seeing him again on Thurs I'll grab them then. Not sure sorry. Libido is damn low though, lack of morning boner etc. Scores were pretty low but since they were 'normal' (the range is fukking massive) he said it was fine.

[zma_21]

Good luck dude man. I'm two years away from that ... but I have very close friends that have already taken in.

Most important test during med school.jpg (except maybe USLME)

[TallWhiteDude]

what does this look like to you?


i need to start wearing sandals in the gym shower
fukkin groce

thanks man, its usmle step 1, and its the more important test in med school

I was basically dividing science courses into memorization "based" and calculation based. Although many senior level courses will have a combination of calculations and rote learning. If you understand what I mean, then it should be fairly clear.
