My mother, the incredible.

I am very sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to suddenly lose your mother... I'm a medical student and can try to answer whatever questions you may have. With only your description of the symptoms of intense abdominal pain with radiation to the back...

Why is Anesthesiology median salary so high?

medical student thinking of doing anesthesiology here... First of all, what kind of experience/knowledge do you have of the OR? Based on your comments, I'm guessing you've never seen what happens during a major surgery, but if you have, I apologize. So if you haven't, imagine a surgeon who...

i got one of thoose stds on my bottom lip

Also roughly 5% of oral Herpes is caused by HSV-2... Keep in mind that just because you don't get cold sores doesn't mean you don't have the virus...it's latent in a lot of people. While you can still spread it without open sores, the viral load is extremely low compared to active lesions.

Why do people not like PETA?

anyone know if PETA supporters ever take medications, considering every single drug out there has been tested on animals? Do they go to doctors, considering surgical techniques and just about every single thing related to medicine has been practiced on animals?

Your thoughts please...

I'm a current med student. I think the important thing is to not do something that you think will impress the admissions committee, but rather something you will enjoy. Doing something you like really shows in your application as opposed to doing something that "looks good." It's pretty...

Things I learned working in the ER
