We discuss research, offer advice (the best one is to see your family physician), make fun of premeds and shitpost.

Do not engage the schizoposter. It only fuels his delusions. See the pastebin for his dossier.

A man telling another man what to do, because that's his job and the second man (in this case the nurse), has a huge inferiority complex usually.

Women are not inherently better at following directions. Men can follow directs as well, it's called not being a hot head or wanting to get fired.

Right, so according to your retarded logic, when a male boss at a corporate company(or in any other field besides healthcare) tells his male employees what to do, they also have a huge "inferiority complex."
Sounds like your own inferiority complex and and projection to boot.
At least it helped motivate you to get into medical school so theirs that.

Kek. I'll give you a 5/10 only because this true for about half of my class.
On the subject of nurses following directions, you'll be surprised at the number of mistakes that happen because the (mostly female) nurses didnt follow directions.
It's definitely not black and white.
It just depends on what the person wants out of life. Nurses have a sweet deal when it comes to flexibility of schedule and units they can work. EM, psych, optho, and derm, are the only ones that compare or surpasd and not everyone wants to do those specialties(i hate EM and dealing with schizophrenics) or even can due to competition.
"What's the point of making all that money when you can't even enjoy it most of the time" is how a lot of people feel about medicine.

Austria is actually fine, lived there for a longer time. Might be also an option, moving from one EU country to another as a doc or dent isn´t a problem (besides language depending on where you want to move). Still I would like to leave Europe.

Also like 80% of my family is in the US military, my father is a veteran as well. So why not?

Well besides refugees and shit seeking a career as doc/dent isn´t as lucrative as it used to be in Germany. Payment is complete shit compared to working hours (not so bad when working as a dentist but still) and taxes are beyond retarded. Also shit mindset of people in general. I lived in several countries through my life and really can´t stand my people at all.

Best options for a doc/dentist in Europa are Norway and Switzerland. But I think I would be a lot happier in the US even if this is the more complicated way.

Somebody will surely show up and claim otherwise but this is only my opinion.

Not at all but like you said when moving to Norway learning the language is required.

Probably overall best working conditions and payment for meds in Europe.

Btw look at this, happened today in Germany. Some refugee (not confirmed yet but who else would do such a thing) killing a guy with a sword.

>Can euro doctors easily move to a non-euro country or are they limited to schengen?

Within EU/Schengen no problem at all. Only thing stopping you work as a med is usually the language.

The Netherlands do have a nice healthcare system. Luxembourg is probably also not bad. However like I said at the moment I would prefer moving to the US.

So fellas, I'm from a shit tier euro country (not romanon) and we have a deficit for all kinds of medical professions. Ours go to Germany, germans go to the US and northern eu and so on. They passed a regulation for government funded specialisation positions to keep young professionals in the country. Up until now the specialisation positions were funded from the hospitals themselves and the departments in particular. You can guess how eager the departments were to pay these people. So the government decided to fund some specialties with a deficit, but under the condition that after you get a specialty you are obliged to work for a regional hospital that has a deficit for specialists like you. So you might have to go to work on the other side of the country if there's a deficit there. If you refuse you have to give the money the government has given you back. I can imagine how shitty it's gonna be if you have a wife and kid and you either have to move with them or be apart for 3 damn years. What does your country do to keep specialists in the country?

Pretty shit, senpai. Here, when you take the residency exam you have two options: Take a spec and work until residency is over or, the second option which is much more competitive, take a spec and sign a contract with the hospital you do your residency in and no one forces you to take a job in a place you don't want. We need general practitioners here and the demand is high but the pay is low. If you opt to practice in a rural area, then we're talking cash because you get like 60%+ of your salary as a raise which is nice but new docs here still want to live in the city. (They won't pick even the close rural areas which are like 1km away from the city, kek)

>What does your country do to keep specialists in the country?

Not much. The ones that want to make serious money, they will just leave for France (especially rural France) or Germany. The govt raised the salaries (except for FMs - since they get that juicy 60% added to their salary if they choose rural, so you're basically forced to practice FM in rural if you want good money) of doctors, but they also made them work more (instead of 12-24hrs/shift, they have to work 18-30hrs/shift depending on spec). But yeah, private sector in my gypsy shithole is much better than public. I've considered even occupational medicine or even public health/epidemiology, but I can't see myself doing them - both seem kind of boring.

Depends on the region you live in. I was lucky enough to be born in western romania which is much more prosper than the south or north for example. Nobody wants to practice medicine there because you have 0 opportunities to develop. After I finish I'll spend the money I have in my bank account on a praxis to open my fm office. (It's really cheap compared to the west, if a doc retires, you can buy his praxis and the PATIENTS too for something like 30k up to 60k euros) so my "dream" of medicine isn't really focused on medicine as much as I want to have a chill lifestyle.

Romania sucks hard in the public sector because you have to kiss asses and basically walk over the bodies of your peers to get a good paying, stable job at a hospital. Zero investing in hospitals, they look awful, the staff isn't that friendly and the atmosphere is usually very serious (like communism). I'm very easy going and lazy, so I can't bother doing shit I don't like.

I work with a military optometrist, he's also able to work as a civilian. Going into the military isn't too bad as per his opinion, but only if you're not a med student or starting residency. Otherwise, your gonna essentially be forced into a field the military needs/wants, like emergency med/trauma, general surg, internal medicine, orthopedics, optometry, ENT, and surprisingly dermatology and psychiatry.
If you haven't even started med school yet, you're taking chances. The military can decide which med school you go to that benefits them more in terms of cost and distance to the military base. So if you were planning to go to some Ivy league school, they may just send you to the state school. Always speak to a recruiter for more details though. It's actually something I plan doing once I finish my residency.

M3 at a midtier usmd school here, dropped the ball on step 1 with a 213 and will probably do family med. Im completely find with FM and primary care but seems like a lot of people have a poor opinion of it including some PCPs Ive worked with. Anyone have thoughts on the lifestyle/pay of a PCP and if its a fulfilling specialty?

Not from US, and I'm heavily biased towards primary care. It's a spec that will always be needed. Yes, you don't get the same "respect" you would get as a specialist from other doctors but the patients you interact with for a long time, they will respect you enormously. You're also a part of the community, doing house visits, the doctor-patient relationship is the best in FM.

You must know that you have to be content with small successes (e.g your diabetic patient started losing weight and his HbA1c levels are getting better, etc) and do not expect to act like a savior (like EM docs do when shit hits the fan) because you're simply in a very chill environment. Lifestyle wise, idk how it is in US, but I guess it must be pretty nice, even though the hours you might work are a bit demanding.

People have a poor opinion on FM because they expected to do something else (and by this I mean that they wanted another specialty).

In the US the umbilical cord is commonly clamped before the completion of placental transfusion. This causes hypoxic brain damage, and via lowered ferritin, leaves the infant more susceptible to free radical damage. One of ferritin's major roles is to manage free iron, and thus fenton reaction mediated autoxidation. H2O2 in the presence of free iron can rapidly become hydroxyl radical via this mechanism. Lowered ferritin is no small thing. There are few if any cases where this is NOT contraindicated. In any case where it's "necessary", it was only made such due to some other incorrect action taken during birth. All these problems are chained together.

And I want to be clear, I'm not trying to spread despair or hopelessness here. What's done is done, and I'm going to make damn sure everyone knows what this place is and has the means to see through its illusions when the time comes.

Pay is on the low end by physician standards, but still higher than pretty much any other job you could have. There's enormous flexibility in how and when you work, and who you work for, so lifestyle is whatever you make it. Whether it's a fulfilling specialty depends on what you think is fulfilling. Many people think it is, but there are also a lot of fuckups stuck in FM because they wanted to be surgeons or dermatologists or whatever but failed to match, and they blame FM for not being the specialty they wish it were.

Holy shit, so much this. Most of the docs that ended up doing FM and didn't want it, are frustrated. Not everybody is made for "harder" specialities, and not everybody is made for FM either.

You're right, I didn't express myself very well, it's just that I can't see myself building a career in a hospital or a private practice.

I don't know about US, but in my country, there is a speciality named "Clinical pharmacology" which is basically what you want. All my pharma profs were either on toxicology or clinical pharmacology specs. I assume the pay is decent, but why don't you want to practice at least privately? Get a spec that doesn't require any tools such as psych and you can do a shit ton of research there because it's a relatively new field treatment wise and there is a lot to be discovered.

So I fell off a ladder about a month ago. I was unconscious before I fell so I dropped like a sack and was concussed. Doctor downplays the whole thing so he doesn't have to do an MRI. Idk if lazy or stupid.

I'm not feeling right a week later. Had learning and concentration difficulty, a big memory gap from the event, constant headaches and ringing in my ears. Sometimes my peripheral vision in one eye would...Fade out. Kind of hard to describe.

So I go back, he has an MRI done. Tells me the report done by idk like nurses at the MRI place is good. Doctors don't check these results themselves?

I see him writing up a whole new observation chart. What the actual fuck.

Reads some concussion pamphlet at me verbatim aside from reading comprehension issues. Makes up some ridiculous return to work schedule and that is that.

So I'm not really keen of going near these clowns. I'm feeling much better now. In another week or two I would like to dose a few times with a small amount of psilocybin. Is it too soon?

Another thing. Should I get a second opinion? That doctor was a clown. I'm generally feeling better but still have some problems with focus/concentration. How likely is this to be permanent?

No I do not have a regular GP. I am rarely ill.

MRI reports are written by radiologists, who are doctors that specialize in interpreting medical images. The doctor who ordered the MRI can look at it, but they usually defer to the report because radiologists have far more expertise at interpreting MRIs than anyone else.

>>10856874
>Reads some concussion pamphlet at me verbatim aside from reading comprehension issues. Makes up some ridiculous return to work schedule and that is that.
So in other words, the MRI didn't find anything and didn't change your treatment at all. The doctor was right not to order it in the first place. What are you upset about?

>I'm generally feeling better but still have some problems with focus/concentration. How likely is this to be permanent?
Hard to say. It's not uncommon to have problems like that for a while after a concussion. Sometimes they're permanent, but that's usually a cumulative effect of many concussions rather than a one-off event. On the other hand, it's also not uncommon for people to convince themselves they're having problems with concentration when really they're just dwelling on it. Since you don't trust the first doctor, it might be worth getting a second opinion. I don't think they're going to tell you anything different, but it might help your piece of mind to hear it from a second source.

>I would like to dose a few times with a small amount of psilocybin. Is it too soon?
If you're worried about focus and concentration, you might want to consider avoiding illegal psychoactive drugs.

I can't, unfortunately. It's likely the nerve and or blood supply is being compressed in his lower cervical / collarbone area, but that's about as close as I can get. When he was rising, something more than just heat compromised his autonomic adaptation. It's likely not vertebrobasilar, because his knees didn't buckle etc and it doesn't really make sense. That means the carotid supply. He has now indicated he has a prior spinal trauma. This should be checked in a load bearing state to make sure nothing is seriously misaligned.

Dracula, ie, Vlad the impaler, son of Dracul, impaled because he and his brother (from his father's second marriage) were given as tribute to the Ottomans at the age of ~10. They were circumcised in a public ritual intended to humiliate, dominate, and maim. They received military training but were beaten and raped by the older pederasts. Vlad resisted and was beaten severely, his brother submitted. Vlad was eventually imprisoned with the possibility of execution, he watched the Ottomans impaling people. For some reason he was released, got away, and this is why he impaled the Ottomans. The Bible mentions instances of other men who were penetrated or mutilated that then went on to do unto others tenfold.

Imagine if he was clamped and vaccinated.

That's correct way, but it's rarely achievable. I wont excuse lazy & unethical doctors, but there are many hospitals where workload exceeds service capacity by many times & health-care professional have time to only glance over most of the patients that aren't in mortal peril.
The hospital administration is well aware of it.
Practitioners are well aware of it.
So is government & part of the general public.
It mesmerizes me how the system still somewhat manages to function without major mishaps, though there are both occasional patient casualty or practitioners suicide.

The whole natural medicine bandwagon needs people who aren't charlatans. The chinese had a decent application of scientific method as they kept using natural medicine into more modern times.

It's honestly even more complicated than modern medicine. There is real stuff here but work needs to be done to unlock valid data. A lot of deadbeat hippies get into natural medicine and try to scam their customers because money.

I've done better with my depression and inflammation than anything recommended by modern medicine.

I can tell you stories of things like misdiagnoses and clueless hippies just going along with whatever is prescribed. The individual needs to take more interest in the medication. The same thing is happening a lot in modern medicine also.

I think Paramedic looks like an amazing job but in CA nurses make at least double ($80k-$180k) and often times triple the amount medics ($40k-60k) do unless you're a flight medic or a fighter fighter/SWAT medic, then you get bumped to around $100k-120k.
Not to mention you don't have much of a career path unless you want to be an operational EMS Director or instructor, but even then it's still a physician who generally runs the show. Most medics become EM PA's from what I understand because there's really nothing like a ADN-BSN bridge program for paramedicine.

If by that you mean trauma patients, I've seen a 18 y/o hit by a car (hit and run), rushed to the ER, stabilized, arrested again and died, she had spine damage, concussions, broken ribs and both of her legs in unrecognizable state.

If by that you mean terminal cancer, boy I've seen the most cancer rekt patient that has ever existed. So, I was doing my summer practice in the ER, patient with terminal brain cancer came in, he was having seizures for well over 20 minutes before he came in and had to be sedated. After sedation, I was assigned to the part of ER where he was and the surgical section (basically I had to check in on the patients, call for doctors/nurses when they were needed). Like 3 hours go by and the cancer guy (who was very muscular and used to work as a fucking docker) starts waking up, is yelling and having seizures again. I literally jump on him to "try" to keep him down (note: I'm a lanklet, tall and skinny) but he kept moving me like I wasn't there. The nurse I called for told me there's no more Noradrenaline and had to go up to the ICU to get some. Worst 15 mins of my life. I don't know if it counts as seizure but the guy opened his eyes, ripped his oxygen mask, started shaking the bed with his hand, I don't know how he didn't rip out his arterial catheter. Cancer sucks, guys...

Here you go, I was a little off but the $180k figure is a friend of mine who is a nurse manager and does wound care.
New NP's sometimes even initially take a pay cut sometimes when they leave floor nursing. CRNA's can make as much as PCP in some cases while still working 3/12 schedules.

I agree with you about their lack of training and education, but what kind of curriculum would suggest then? What part of their scope are you concerned about?

They didn't really know much about cancer in the times when herbal medicine was used. I'm certain there are anti-cancer substances in plants and clues may be found from herbal medicine. Not a worthwhile investment for capitalism.

What do you guys think about the inevitable replacement of surgeons by robots? Neuralink is installed by a robot which outperforms a human surgeon.

Would medical science advance more rapidly if surgeons weren't fighting to preserve their position?

It's simple actually, they don't want to visit a doctor because they're scared of what their suffering might be. This kind of delusion is the worst.

>>10860124
>clues might be found from herbal medicine
I call bullshit. All of them are chemicals and I doubt any of them are extracted from plants rather than being synthesized in a lab.

>inevitable replacement of surgeons by robots
It simply won't happen this millennium. The surgeons can see stuff that the robot doesn't. For example, a surgeon has to do an appendicectomy. He observes a mass in the patient that a robot wouldn't pick up, simple as that. Maybe after some refining, etc it may have a slight chance to see some practice, even then, assisting the surgeon, but to replace it 100%, not going to happen.

I see both of them filling different roles. The surgery done by neuralink is incredibly precise. Far superior to what is possible for a human. It's simply astonishing what is going to become possible with these machines.

The cost savings are through the roof with robots. They work non-stop. Patient wait times would plummet.

>observes a mass in the patient that a robot wouldn't pick up

I guess a lot of surgeons have recently begun finding plenty of these.

What do you think plant secondary metabolites are made of? They're literally chemicals. Phytochemical screening is a huge research field and researchers are constantly testing plant extracts for cytotoxic and antioxidant properties.

The only difference between crude plant extracts and the isolated manufactured pharmaceuticals is the amount of impurities in the crude botanicals.

You took it too literally. Whey I said chemicals, I was referring to chemical med compounds, not natural and such.

Impurities lead to a difficulty in "refining" if the med with natural extract has many adverse effects. Simple as it gets, I'll always pick a pharma product over herbal nonsense. (When I'm sick, ofc.)

>>10860178
Well, I agree in a way, even though I want to be a GP. The field is vast and physicians are prone to make mistakes because they either underestimate the patient's situation or overestimate it and that means they over treat. But as >>10856689 pointed out

It's just that as a GP or specialist etc, you would be paid a fee for each appointment. So if you have ten appointments you get ten fees. If you have three appointments you only get three fees.

So if your patients don't ever get well they have to keep coming back. If you squeeze a few extra appointments in each day thats extra money in the bank right. 30mins becomes 20.

On and on. It's nothing personal. It's just business.

Idk about US, but I can tell you about Romania. It's pretty simple, GPs here have a basic salary which we'll call X. Then, you get paid a certain amount / patient that visits your practice but the maximum amount of patients that is going to be paid by the state is 20, you have to charge for the rest (which doesn't happen, mom always treats for free).

Now, on a bad day, mom has 20 patients minimum on average (It's a walk in practice, not an appointment based one). People come for diverse shit, full physicals, referrals, refills, the usual GP stuff. The amount she gets paid / patient is very low, she gets paid 1 Euro/ Patient by the state and I'm not even joking. 1 fucking euro/ patient. 20 Euros / day. Imagine what a shit salary she'd have without the base salary. Luckily, the base salary is high because she works in a rural area and gets a 60% raise and I doubt she does it for the money if she treats for free after that 20 patient threshold.

Now, on your second point. Her patients are mixed between young and old. The younger patients come in whenever they feel ill but the problem here is constituted by the older patients which suffer from chronic diseases. As you may know, for chronic diseases, they need constant monitoring and refills. Trust me, we're not trying to "squeeze" extra few appointments for extra cash, we just want to make sure the patients get the best care possible in this shithole. No offense taken.

>>10860287

You're definitely not /med/ if you think "chemo" is a single thing or that it's significantly less effective today than it was ten years ago for the majority of cancers.

Cancers are not independent organisms. They're not transmitted from person to person. They don't accumulate adaptive mutations from multiple hosts. A cancer can evolve resistance to a particular drug in a single patient, but that doesn't mean the same type of cancer in another person is any more or less likely to evolve the same resistance, or that resistance is likely to become more common in the general population.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4502609/

>From bacteria to cancer, (multi) drug resistance is becoming a central issue and a significant challenge for medicine today. Although drug resistance is often studied at the single cell level, it is important to realize that the ability of a drug to interact with its target is more complex involving many body compartments. Also, over the past decade, there have been significant changes in our understanding of some fields from biology. Whereas, before, the key-lock model was supposed to uncover biology helping us to understand life, it is clear today that evolution theory needs to be introduced at the single cell level to clarify our understanding of some diseases including cancer. The famous key-lock model, as well as the long-awaited magic bullet to kill cancer, has to be revised accordingly. Therefore, we suggest reframing the concepts used in drug resistance in a more general context thereby dismantling the monolithic tone that the resistance is only a matter of genes. We propose that drug ineffectiveness results from tumor-host interactions and that a clear understanding of such an interaction open new opportunities not only for the discovery of new drugs but also for new therapeutic strategies to overcome the development and evolution of resistance to cancer chemotherapy.

Chemo is ineffective and as you stated about the resistance developed by it in a single patient, then the patient will need a multi drug treatment which is way more aggressive and is probably a death sentence. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for cancer research, but imo surgery and radiotherapy is way more effective (Also because they're used then cancer is in early stages) than chemo (which is often used in stage 3+).

Holy fuck you're retarded. Nowhere in either of those two articles do they claim rates of resistance are increasing or that chemotherapy is becoming less effective. You clearly have absolutely no clue how resistance to chemo drugs works, or for that matter even the most basic principles of cancer treatment. It's not a question of chemo versus radiation or surgery. They're all used together depending on the nature of the cancer and applicability of each treatment. Different chemo drugs have different mechanisms of action and are used for different cancers that develop resistance at different rates through different mechanisms. Multidrug protocols are not a "death sentence". They're more effective than single drugs, which is why they're used, and a major part of why survival rates for many types of cancer have significantly increased over the last 30 years. And stop acting like this is some kind of new revelation. People have known about chemo drug resistance for as long as cytotoxic chemo drugs have existed.

If you're actually a med student, I feel sorry for whatever shithole country is stuck with you.

Yes, this happens with EVERY cancer. That's what cancer does, it mutates, that's why it's cancer in the first place.

Cancer can become resistant to any chemo, but it's not like resistance is becoming more common. The only feasible way for this to happen would be if a person took chemo, their gametes were somehow able to form resistance to the said chemo, and then that person created offspring that then developed cancer.

Resistance is nothing new, and the immunotherapies are no exception.

Finally a good response without any insults. I know there are exceptions in cancer, but what about bladder cancer? I know that the treatment is usually with local doxorubicin and if that fails you have to change to immunotherapy, something like bezacivumab for example. Can cancer develop resistance to immunotherapy the same way it does with chemo? If so, is multi drug treatment the answer?

With lymphoma I agree with but not in all patients. I have a...pretty sentimental example.

Dad was diagnosed in 2008 with Hodgkin's lymphoma and chemo did a good job but he went for stem cell transplant which fucked him up so badly I couldn't look at him and not cry. He died in 2009 and honestly I don't trust cancer treatment since. He was 49 and can't get my head around why he died in such a short span of time considering that it was caught in a relatively early stage and after some months of chemo the lymphoma still a advanced to his lungs.

Bladder cancer varies. If it is early stage and hasn;t invaded the muscular wall, it can be treated with intravesicular BcG, which is the tuberculosis vaccine. Interestingly, putting it into the bladder causes the lining to shed and the cancer to shed with it.

Unfortunately that is as far as my knowledge of bladder cancer goes. That being said, yes cancer can develop resistance to immunotherapy, the same way it becomes immune to chemo. The mechanism is obviously different, but it just involves downregulation of whatever protein the therapy targets. Multidrug treatment is always better than monotherapy. The idea is to kill the cancer before it can mutate and become resistant. It's the same idea with bacteria really.

>>10862898
My mother had GBM and was predicted to live only about 6 months, she ended up living 4 and a half years due to chemo. She wasn't miserable the entire time, but it certainly took its toll on her. Most of the time chemo isn't meant to cure, it is meant to lengthen survival. The issue that we run into is that we need the "perfect storm" to fight cancer. The pt needs to be healthy, they need to make sure they are eating healthy, they need to stay on the chemo, the cancer needs to not mutate, and they need some luck from their body to not get rekt by the chemo. If any one of those is missing, chemo isn't very effective. It's pretty sad really. Since every pt is different there's no way of telling how much chemo lengthened or shortened their life.

Also, sorry for your mom, GBM is one big aggressive pile of shit. Her body fought well to keep it cancer in check for such a long time. I remember when dad had chemo and couldn't eat anything without vomiting his stomach right away. Even though the doctors said his prognosis was good, in the end it took a toll on him and his body couldn't handle it anymore. In late stages, the last resort (if I can say that) was stem cell transplant which went well but that made him prone to infections and died from pneumonia. The individual matters too much to have one single treatment for one type of cancer, it's too unpredictable.

Nice. Don't know if you know the specifics, but was she lucky to have the IDH wild type mutation? Only saw one patient like that ever, she was originally given a year to live until a biopsy revealed the mutation, and she's still alive. That diagnosis was 6 years ago. I still see her now and again for yearly MRIs. She wants to start a career in biomedical lab stuff now despite the fact that she's nearing 50.

This. Sperm actually need a temperature slightly cooler than body temperature to mature the best.

Fun fact:
The scrotum sags more when it is hot to get further away from the core body temperature. The stalk that connects the testicles has both veins and arteries running in it. The veins actually form a lace like network around the arteries and when the veins carry blood back, the veins actually cool the arterial blood.

Then it's fine for them to check. I remember a few years ago when a 5 year old came in that had a really bad case of phimosis and my mom had to check him. The foreskin was basically glued to his penis and had a lot of smegma around it, probably because of very poor hygiene.

>How the fuck do you guys do this?

It's pretty simple, actually. I just focus on my textbook and don't give a shit about lectures. I still make a ton of charts and memorize it in a logic "fun" way.

Example: I was studying microbiology in my 2nd year (I do 6) and was learning about antigen presenting cells. I just imagined a bodyguard that takes out a dubious person out of a crowd and presents it to the security department (In this case, the T cells).

You can do such things with ease in many classes. If you have clinical classes, then you can't really use this method, but do charts.

When I start my charts, I read about each disease first and take the ones that have common symptoms and put them in a chart so I can eliminate the common symptoms and focus on the specific ones to be able to differentiate between them more easily. After I'm done with those, I just make a second chart with the rest of the diseases and try to make an acronym for each (Symptoms, differential diagnosis, treatment - treatment also separated between medical and surgical if needed)
