SMZNAKSJJD cardio broke me twice lmao its the worst i feel u aha inshallah u will تمري مرور الكرام ✨️

FIRST YEAR? BRUH. the three basic years here are split into general modules (patho micro pharma biochem etc) and all the systems after that. last term we had cns & pns and ugs (triple whammy fr lol) and ethics and management as well (العلم نور 🥲) so it was the most taxing term but other than that its pretty balanced? this october i start clinical :'D

المهم i gained 10 kilos in second year i think (الشوط الثاني lol) and while sure there was stress eating im not an اكيلة at all i dont have a sweet tooth so its my lack of exercise thats fatal aha. point is le stress (cortisol) is a big factor in the weight gain and it staying put which can lead to all sorts of fun times with the thyroid and pancreas et al. يتعافى المرء بالتخرج as they say 😭😂 we will only be at peace when were no longer under the tyranny of the faculty XD

الله المستعان and all da best beloved mwah <33

OH THAT SOUNDS EXQUISITE i would love some nom nom :>

hello kindred <33 I’m gonna start year 2 with urogenital but I wanted to ask you for good measure XD

does PCOS cause insulin resistance and weight gain, or does weight gain cause PCOS? And if PCOS is the reason for the weight gain then what causes the PCOS from the start? :”)

hiiiiiii habibti long time no see!! all the best inshallah ur gonna do great mwah <3

wkdnskskdk ugs my beloathed XD الله يعينك و يقويكي it was the last system of third year and when i tell you i was ready to resign from life lol. المهم

excellent question and the answer is yes lol. tis last i remember kinda a cycle in that pcos is strongly linked to insulin resistance (encourages the ovaries to produce androgens) which itself can be either a result of obesity or cause it, therefore feeding into the loop. in other words it can be a contributing factor or a consequence

pcos is a complex condition that is at its core (thought to be) combined genetic predisposition and hormone imbalance, also ive come to learn that the body is almost always like one inflammatory response away from self destruction lmao :') and ofc stress can play a role, which is always fun to hear as a med student 😭😂

anyhows i hope that answers ur question! and as always feel free to drop anytime for anything and everything lol. الك عندي احلى كاسة شاي هههههه ❤️❤️

Hey man I don’t make the rules I just can’t hear without my glasses on

[lemedstudent2021]

I was talking to an old woman yesterday who told me “when I wake up in the middle of the night I figure somebody needs me, so I pray for three things: I pray that someone who is suicidal right then can hang on another day, another hour, another minute. Then I pray for everybody who is in danger in Ukraine and Gaza. Then I pray for somebody I know who is suffering.”

I had just told her that my husband has brain cancer, and her goes to work between 2 and 3am and she said “if I wake up at that time, I’ll know he needs a little extra help and I’ll pray for him to get to work safely.”

A nurse has heart attack and describes what she felt like when having one

I am an ER nurse and this is the best description of this event that I have ever heard. 

 FEMALE HEART ATTACKS 

 I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is description is so incredibly visceral that I feel like I have an entire new understanding of what it feels like to be living the symptoms on the inside. Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have… you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor the we see in movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience with a heart attack: 

 "I had a heart attack at about 10:30 PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, ‘A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up. A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you’ve been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you’ve swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn’t have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation–the only trouble was that I hadn’t taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m. 

After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR). This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. ‘AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening – we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven’t we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I’m having a heart attack! I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a heart attack, I shouldn’t be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else… but, on the other hand, if I don’t, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in a moment. 

I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics… I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn’t feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in. I unlocked the door and then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don’t remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like ‘Have you taken any medications?’) but I couldn’t make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery. 

I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents. Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand. 

1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body, not the usual men’s symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn’t know they were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping they’ll feel better in the morning when they wake up… which doesn’t happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you’ve not felt before. It is better to have a ‘false alarm’ visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be! 2. Note that I said ‘Call the Paramedics.’ And if you can take an aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on the road. Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what’s happening with you instead of the road. Do NOT call your doctor – he doesn’t know where you live and if it’s at night you won’t reach him anyway, and if it’s daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn’t carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later. 3. Don’t assume it couldn’t be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it’s unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive to tell the tale.“

Reblog, repost, Facebook, tweet, pin, email, morse code, fucking carrier pigeon this to save a life! I wish I knew who the author was. I’m definitely not the OP, actually think it might be an old chain email or even letter from back in the day. The version I saw floating around Facebook ended with “my cardiologist says mail this to 10 friends, maybe you’ll save one!” And knew this was way too interesting not to pass on.
