do you understand HOW close we are
WE USED TO BE ABLE TO DO 3 k IN A DAY
what HAPPENED
Hmph
come on come on come on
alright well then Iām just gonna talk about medicine until this thing stops me
So if we have a 2 yo boy who has fever, vomiting,a nd sleepiness. Canāt wake up for sht once he went to sleep. Has rhinorrhea and fever for like three days. Also this kid has had multiple illnesses and an INCREASED BLOOD AMMONIA LEVEL and increased OROTIC ACID excretion in the urine. What are we thinking huh? Whatās going on with this unresive lil boy?
WElllllll
obviously
heās deficient in ornithine transcarbamylase
cause that ammonia level being high is like a big clue
see see you neeed that enzyme to move bicarb and ammonia into citrulline and if that doesnāt happen, then ammonia is high and thatās super bad for you.
plus this is the most common urea cycle disorder
so like this kid having too much ammonia, which is neurotoxic, is causing his vomiting and coma and and tachypnea
wow
Well no oneās talking to me so I gotta talk to myself
Iām in too much pain to take a shower. Unfortunately, I skipped showering last night. Welp. Sorry everyone. Iām going to smell.
Iām gonna make some more edits after I clean up my dinner
Okay next question
You gots a patient who just moved here and who has likeā¦ lots of brusies and itās sketchy af (you fr htink theyāre being abuse)
but they tell you āItās nothin, iām clumsy das itā
and youāre like mmhmmm no
how would you approach it
WELLLL
so you canāt make them defensive so you have to be careful
so the best way to go about it is saying something like
āMoving to a new city can be stressful. How are things going at home?ā
because you want to be a lil indirect; because patients with intimate partner violence may be reluctant to speak
Oop are you okay
Residual hip pain. My damn dorm only has showers, which scares me due to having rocky balance on a good dayā¦I think Iām having ptsd from all the school shootings that have happened, because I mistook a door unlocking for a gun cocking, and have been crying on an off for the whole week. Can you even have ptsd from something you havenāt seen? Sorry for unloading that.
Alright alright
now weāre gonna talk about statisical testing
so so so
if youāre trying to compare something like ālevels of creatinine kinaseā between groups diided into 4 different therapies - what do you see? You see one QUANTITATIVE (Numbers matter) group and one QUALITATIVE group.
So what kind of test do you use?
Analysis of variance duh
see
Now if this was two CATEGORIAL groups -weād use a chi square test
if this was to QUANTITATIVE things - weād use a correlation coefficient
T tests are a lil different - those are comparing the mean of a quantitative variable between two groups. (So quantitiative and qualitative again). But a paired t test are when the groups are dependent (before and after type deal); and an independent t test is when the group is INDEPENDENT (mean of a main variable)
yes so yeah
thatās statistical tests
I donāt know if it would be considered āPTSDā or more āacute stress disorderā or one of those
PTSD has to be something expierenced or witnessed
so perhaps it could techincally
either way - you should talk to a therapist
and no need to be sorry
That makes more sense. Do you remember the MSU shooting? A lot of my family went there, so I kinda lost it.
I think I heard about that one Iām so sorry youāve had to experience that
I canāt imagine being in your shoes and youāre so strong for being able to deal with it - no matter how youāre dealing with it
Iām going to try and find a therapist on campus. Iām seriously just considering permanently dropping out, with the car accident and now all these college shootings. I feel like Iām being dramatic.
