| Topic | A student just asked me if history class will be "white-washed" |
| MrPeppers 07/16/20 5:53:37 PM #18 | parabola_master posted... I read a really good article recently about how textbooks are an outdated practice (although I think it was about science/medicine in particular) because, by the time everything gets proofread, approved, and published, there is likely a new idea or concept and a lot of the published information becomes obsolete. I understand that this maybe doesnt apply to every grade level, but it made me think differently about the role of textbooks in the classroom. In regards to medicine, textbooks arent completely outdated and certain aspects of medicine dont particularly change much at all. We dont rely completely on texts, we use research journals, colleges/organizations who composite data for us so we can come to a consensus, and studies themselves. But the text for most well established things or surgical steps are definitely a gold standard. --- |

| MrPeppers 07/13/20 9:49:55 AM #2 | Patient with preeclampsia ended up developing a pulmonary embolism but the presentation was a little atypical. I begged my attending to get a CT angio and she ended up being positive. Inadvertently saved her life, and a major lawsuit --- |

| MrPeppers 07/10/20 1:26:55 PM #121 | onedarksoul posted... If I am a cultist, as you say, that'd make it easier for me to spot others exhibiting cult-like symptoms, no? Not necessarily, but that's a really odd question to ask. --- |
| Topic | "Fauci has made lots of mistakes" - Trump |
| MrPeppers 07/10/20 1:18:18 PM #115 | EndOfDiscOne posted... I thought he admitted to lying about masks because of the supply shortage. I mean, I don't blame him. But this would probably be seen as a bigger deal if Trump didn't lie so much. I'd have to defer to someone more knowledgeable if his claim for changing his stance was solely to conserve PPE for healthcare workers. I work in healthcare, and I also browse the medicine subreddit when I get downtime. I remember back in January and February when the pandemic was a growing concern in that community, before the general public was made painfully aware of it, that there was no data on whether or not masks were effective at preventing transmission or exposure. Not insufficient data, just flat-out none. I remember Fauci not recommending masks, not because masks did nothing, but because we didn't know if they were effective. --- |

| MrPeppers 07/10/20 1:08:42 PM #111 | Caution999 posted... In that bubble, he's not wrong. Fauci flip flopping all over the place. Still is, as a matter of fact. And I get it: It's like the weather reporters. Things change when you get more and more information... But Fauci never "flip flopped all over the place." He changed his stance once in accordance with new data that came out. --- |
| Topic | "Fauci has made lots of mistakes" - Trump |
| MrPeppers 07/10/20 10:38:45 AM #47 | Caution999 posted... The blood is on the hands of China and WHO. And if you want to blame anyone; people like Andrew Cuomo who set up EVERY nursing home to fail by making them all stay there and spread the virus to the people they lived with. Trump doesn't control every micro decision in each state, bud. If you want to blame Trump; fine...but lets involve the 50 governors, too. Does Trump have no culpability? Certainly he has some. I mean, he represents the United States. Even if he doesn't personally make the bad decision, he's ultimately responsible as the President right? --- |

I don't blame him considering Churchill is not only responsible for the Bengal famine but also for one of the largest ethnic cleansings in modern times, and numerous other horrendous things yet he's revered as a hero. It's pretty weird I think you don't blame him because if you aren't a full-on communist then you sympathize with them to a very concerning degree. --- |
| Topic | "Fauci has made lots of mistakes" - Trump |
| MrPeppers 07/10/20 9:59:33 AM #17 | Caution999 posted... What is wrong with what he said? Fauci did say "don't wear a mask" then later on changed his mind. How is that a bad thing? He adapted his approach when new data came out. This is a rapidly evolving brand new virus that caused a pandemic. Treatments and recommendations are and will continue to change constantly. No one should be reprimanded for following the most current evidence at the time. --- |

| MrPeppers 07/10/20 9:49:15 AM #40 | scar the 1 posted... Again it's a little weird to have this conversation without him but essentially it was something like this: May I ask why, exactly? Whether or not you consider the Holodomor a genocide doesn't excuse Stalin's actions and serves to show a very concerning set of biases you espouse. --- |

| MrPeppers 07/08/20 9:20:00 PM #127 | The23rdMagus posted... They're the mother's children too. If the father didn't take responsibility, that's not a particularly "masculine" thing to do, but stepping up is. If you love the mother, you love the kids. but you you can also have your own priorities, love the mother, and not have to love the kids while still loving the mother. It may not be the most virtuous perspective, but its an incredibly respectable one --- |
| Topic | That's it guys, you have to wear a mask in public now in Texas |
| MrPeppers 07/03/20 1:18:37 PM #14 | Patty_Fleur posted... I want it stopped. Not reduced. I guarantee in a few weeks, you're going to have people who took all precautions still getting sick. The mask is no end all be all. I completely agree with you, but the unfortunate reality is that we as a community (on local and federal gov. levels) have to be realistic about this and factor in implausibility of a complete lockdown in real-world practice. --- |

Uh, masks have definitely shown to help reduce the spread of the disease. We wear them in the hospital for a reason, we wear them in public for a reason. --- |

| MrPeppers 07/03/20 1:03:38 PM #210 | CyricZ posted... Inaccurate. What we have is no evidence that protesters caused a spike. It's a fair assumption that they didn't cause a spike, but that's the best we can do at the moment. Exactly. --- |

| MrPeppers 07/03/20 1:02:55 PM #2 | I hope that went to everyone. I'm working in the ICU and COVID unit this month and the severe and critical cases are bad, man. My attending is intubating people in the ED. --- |

There are too many variables to control for to definitively state whether there was an impact, and if there was how much of an impact. --- |
| Topic | If Republicans hate minorities why are they against abortion? |
| MrPeppers 07/03/20 12:32:38 PM #3 | Probably because people tend to stratify their concerns into a tier of priorities, and the general Republican mindset is that "ending life" is a more prioritized issue than their opinions on other races. --- |

| MrPeppers 06/30/20 3:57:26 PM #218 | Romes187 posted... That sucks! Someone was on the local FB group saying the same thing but it ended up being a lie, thankfully. We aren't hit too hard in my city yet but we shall see our anesthesia team intubated a 31 year old yesterday. She has multiple medical comorbidities, but I kind of couldnt believe it. We had to stop her dialysis because she compromised the unit. Someone sent her for it despite her clinical picture and we had to respond to the rapid response that was called. It feels like the hospital is unhinging, but we are barely stable. --- |
| Topic | So covid is spiking nation wide... Why? |
| MrPeppers 06/30/20 3:53:02 PM #212 | Its fucking rampant here in Texas. Im in the ICU this month, its fucking harrowing. Our whole behavioral health unit was converted to a COVID unit. The ED is a fucking war zone, people pronated on ventilators in the hallways. Ive seen a lot of shit in my medical career, including fetal demises, and this is just harrowing. --- |

| MrPeppers 06/30/20 3:48:56 PM #18 | DEKMStephens posted... People would abuse antibiotics if they were sold over the counter and we'd be even more fucked than we already are with resistant bacteria Exactly this. Its why antibiotic resistance and MRSA, VRE, and other nasty superbugs are running rampant in countries like Mexico. You can buy 500 pills of amoxicillin without a prescription over there, its a total breeding ground for horrible bacteria. --- |

| MrPeppers 06/14/20 10:10:38 AM #15 | Implicit bias as it has been framed in research is nebulous at the moment. It needs a lot more properly designed studies to show if it is a meaningful metric, at least in the medical field. --- |

| MrPeppers 06/11/20 3:29:42 PM #16 | MedeaLysistrata posted... Are volunteer hours really necessary? Goddamn keeners Yes, given how extraordinarily competitive entry into medical school is. 10-20 years ago all you needed was a good GPA and a biology degree. Nowadays, you need a stellar GPA if you're premed (requirement is lower for "harder" degrees like engineering or biochem but is still >3.5), a stellar MCAT score, and volunteer hours out the wazoo just to make it past the screening bots. --- |
| Topic | Should I switch to Pre-Med? |
| MrPeppers 06/11/20 3:20:43 PM #10 | MedeaLysistrata posted... Ah, same as Canada then. The list of pre-reqs required for acceptance into medical school will generally require a full bachelors degree of credit hours. The pre-med track is usually a Bachelors of Science in Biology. I went into medical school with a Bachelors of Science in Engineering and a few extra biology classes. I'm fairly certain that no medical school would look twice at an applicant without a bachelors degree, hundreds of volunteer hours, and great letters or recommendation. Even for "non-trads" who apply with a non pre-med major. --- |

| MrPeppers 06/11/20 3:07:41 PM #49 | TheVipaGTS posted... Also, can we stop using "you're rich and famous you can't fight for justice anymore!". Everyone said it about Kaep, they say it every time a celebrity speaks up...Newsflash, that one person being rich and not having to worry about it doesn't mean it was always like that for them, it doesn't mean they don't have friends and family that don't currently face it, and even if none of that is true, it doesn't mean they can't care about other people enough to use their platform to help them. I can see why so many people fight against this movement..they're selfish and believe everyone else should be too for some reason. Imagine someone talking about CEOs like this XD --- |
