>Medical students general thread
Where do you guys study? What do you want to do? I'm in Lyon, France. I'm interested in Ortho surgery but I'm still a "young" student so I might change my mind. I'm also doing some kind of Medicine-Science program in order to have a PhD more easily in few years if I want.
Also, did you or do you plan to candidate for an elective?
Come here and share your experiences!
Has any Yurofag gone to practice in an Anglo country to make big boy bucks in medicine? How hard was it to get licenced/recognized? Australia, I think, used to be a country where some european subspeciaists went to make bank for a couple of years.
It is very hard for a European physician to practice in Australia, and you have something called the the 10-year moratorium: https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/can-someone-explain-the-ten-year-moratorium-in-simple-terms.1221208/ Actually, there's some kind of resident crisis ATM in Australia, many international students who did their medical school in Australia don't have resident position and have to move elsewhere.
If you're French, you're a "doctor" when you finish your residency. In most of country you're a MD when you start your residency. As a consequence, if you wanna candidate for a residency program in the US as a French student, you must finish your first residency before applying. However, we get paid quiet well here and have a good health system so I doubt French physicians would moved for that reason alone. I could work in any EU country and the UK though, but I think I'll be more paid and have a much better training here.

I don't like the minus in the Hamiltonian formulation.
Very distressing.
Wtf? This usually happens in the summer here, but it's February. It's like an orange-gray sky. Anyone know what's going on?
>>8702954
That's called a street lamp.
>>8702957
No. It's usually much darker, even with streelights. Especially the sky.

Is it mathematically possible that planet earth is the only planet that has life? I don't mean sentient life. just any life, even microorganism?
>pic somewhat related
'life' could easily be defined that it only fits what we think of 'life' on Earth, making 'life' not possible elsewhere.
>>8702932
I always hated that formula. It's completely trivial. It's also useless because we don't know hardly any of the numbers to plug in
>>8702932
Mathematically speaking, life could exist on other planets. Sentient life however, cannot as the probabilities are impossibly low as of now.
Hi /sci/!
Long time since I've been lurking around here, but I have a problem that some of you may have the ability to answer!
Yesterday, whilst beeing extremely intoxicated, I managed to do a proper faceplant! Today, my lips have swollen, but my question for you is: Notice the grey area on the inside of my lip? What is that?
cancer
>>8702902
That's what you get for being a drunken degenerate.
>>8702902
Looks like a smegma, look it up online and see if it matches exactly what you have.
what excactly is light?
does light have the ability to bend time/space?
when 2 humans flying at each other with nearly c, how is it possible that they don't recognize the time diletation caused from the other guy?
this is freaking me out, help me /sci/
>what excactly is light?
an elementary particle
>does light have the ability to bend time/space?
no
>when 2 humans flying at each other with nearly c, how is it possible that they don't recognize the time diletation caused from the other guy?
Dilation is relative and your example is wrong
>this is freaking me out, help me /sci/
watch a basic youtube tutorial on photons and time dilation
>>8702862
>watch a basic youtube tutorial on photons and time dilation
i have and now i'm asking myself how is this possible?
>>does light have the ability to bend time/space?
>>no
what excactly changes for me then when i travel with nearly c? either time have to change or space, relative for the observer.
>>8702862
>>what excactly is light?
>an elementary particle
No, that's photons. Light is also a wave in the electro-magnetic field.

A flame ignites on a match when you scrub the sulfur surface on the wood, inflaming the wood with sulfur bacillus, the inflammation is the flame
>>8702853
yeah taht's true. so lifelike and magic?
Anyone here seen suits? How do I get a memory like Mike Ross? Basically photographic memory.
>Inb4 eugenics bullshit
Photographic memories aren't real

>>8702377
Why not take photographs? Who needs memory when you have technology?
Give me the answer to this one. Either I'm an idiot or the answer section in my book is wrong.
Please, ty!

so who's the idiot the book or you?
Not sure if this is /sci/ related but it seems like the best board

I tried this Mensa practice test but I didn't understand 17, 20, 21 or 22 at all.
For 19 and 23 I sort of guessed right but the logic behind those wasn't very clear to me either especially 23. 19 I guessed 3-4-4-5 correctly but I'm wondering if there's more to it than that.
Can anyone explain, thanks?
Also, thoughts on IQ tests in general?
I feel like (especially for ones such as this one) anyone who practises similar questions should be able to get a good score
>>8701760
mensa is shit
"logically complete this" is nonsense shit
IQ tests are shit
IQ as a measure of personal instead of group ability is shit
>>8701760
>that Go game
what the fuck is white doing
jesus
resign already and lower your rank by 3 stones
>>8701760
for 17 20 21 and 22 you have to imagine two seperate things going on, 20 is b,c
Math pleb who's trying to wrap his head around the infinity of π here.
Can any combination of numbers occur within it or are there restrictions? Because if anything goes doesn't that means at some point there is a near infinite string of 0s. Like graham's number amount of 0s for every digit that came before it, which would render anything that comes after it basically meaningless.
>>8701733
we don't know which combinations can occur in it
the second question is silly,if you're interested in an infinite expansion, any finite number of 0s is super small in comparison
>>8701741
>any finite number of 0s is super small in comparison
Yeah, true. My line of thought was flawed.
>a near infinite string of 0s
That's bullshit. You're completely right, as long as it's finite it pales in comparison to infinite. Thanks.
>>8701749
anything "near-infinite" is just finite and meaningless in comparison

Are doctors actually smart and at the cornerstone of a profession that requires dynamic critical analysis and precise problem solving?
Or are they just highly trained technicians that follow pre-made procedural flowcharts to fix any issue they come in contact with.
The latter would make them no different than car mechanics.
>>8701282
The second
Close the post now.
They would have to be pretty smart to begin with in order to get into med school
>>8701321
nah, more just grind hard and act like a bitch. top ~15-20 med schools in the US usually have pretty impressive students though.
