I have some neck vein distension and it originates from the neck up to the ears. I have objective tinnitus or ear sounds but only 20 times a minute-ish. I have fullness of the ears and dry eyes. The most problematic symptom I have that is that I can't sit or stand upright for long without chest pain getting worse.
This is not a test I need some treatment right now...

My whole fucking class is on "ADHD" "meds". Fucking junkies. But here I am drinking copious cups of coffee and eating zyns, but IM THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM?! Should I just get on the amphetamine train like everyone else? Anyone can get le heckin ADHD diagnosis these days. My fuck. I'm not sure what happened to the curriculum but even young grads are saying that our current workload is higher than what they had 5-10 years ago. The content isn't hard either, but my fuck the volume is h i g h. Even Anki-ing for up to 600qd is just keeping me at pace for content.
>>16969107 Why were you worried about getting good marks on the exam then? Med school is «minimal effort club» you dork. Just get by. Learning extra punishes you on exams. Go hard in Y3/4 and especially residency for the pedantic shit.

>>16969108 I am just finishing an SMP program with a strong linkage and automatic acceptance if you keep above a certain GPA.
>>16969104 Yeah, the widespread use of Adderall meds is wild. If someone is diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and they made it all to medical school, it's unlikely they actually have ADHD.
>>16969148 And as an aside, it's awful that so many medical students have a Type A personality; they will do whatever is necessary to increase their scores. It explains why a 250 Step 2 score is no longer impressive (it's the 47th percentile now).

Hypothetically, if you had to kill yourself and you didn't have access to opioids, how would you do it ? i was reading about japanese people making and breathing concentrated hydrogen sulfide in the early 2000's and it got me thinking.

Yeah, I was gonna make that point. Stopped having women-related angst once I dropped my age range to 24 year old college grads who aren't bitter and ruined, but you also end up having to be their mentor lol
I haven't seen someone say rustling jimmies in a while.

Not only do I have pretty severe ear pain randomly, it's wrapping around my neck and head; started from side of neck, now on lower chin / beard area, behind ear, back of head, and now even my forehead tingles. It's the second fucking day. (I got valacyclovir already, be honest with me, I need Prednisone too don't I)
