is it sad i miss working on my thesis and want to go back to school for a PhD
<SnoopJeDi>
the jaded part of me wants to say "yes" to the first part of the statement on principle
<B787_300>
SnoopJeDi: it sounds like you need a better topic for a thesis then
<SnoopJeDi>
oh I like my topic well enough, I'm just a textbook case of burnout.
<SnoopJeDi>
B787_300, there's nothing sad about enthusiasm for a subject
<UmbralRaptop>

egg|anbo|egg: that level of clothing seems amusing, given that it's 302 K here.
<SnoopJeDi>
oh, you said you *miss* working on it, I'd missed (heh) that word
<SnoopJeDi>
I stand by what I said though
<B787_300>
SnoopJeDi: oddly enough classes and thesis work were nice for me as it provided a good break in my day as I was a working student
<SnoopJeDi>
I bet that balance provided valuable perspective
<B787_300>
well at least for the last 2 quarters i was a working student
<B787_300>
but that was hard trying to ballance work and school
<B787_300>

UmbralRaptop: would catadioptric be and adj or wpn?
<B787_300>
because normally it is a adj to the noun of telescope
<kmath>
<DrPhiltill> It's amazing it will do SEVEN flybys of Venus. The Galileo spacecraft did Venus-Earth-Earth. The Cassini spacecraft… https://t.co/UkHTRzsRNA
<B787_300>
but would you ever see it separated?
<UmbralRaptop>
I'd go with adjective.

<B787_300>
UmbralRaptop: i also gained no financial benefit from my MS
<SnoopJeDi>
I would say if it's not going to be a direct benefit to any one thing in particular, it's probably better to pursue extension courses and individual engagement to what extent you can
<SnoopJeDi>
and get forced into a program by necessity if you find you can't cobble together what you'd like otherwise
<SnoopJeDi>
but that's coming from my very biased perspective: I kinda fell into a program as a default option :/

<SilverFox>
anyways, I have to do drug cards for my client in residency and uhhh he's polypharmic as fuck
<SnoopJeDi>
TIL polypharmacy
<SnoopJeDi>
are you in an MD program SilverFox?
<SilverFox>
Nursing
<SilverFox>
polypharmacy is like this
<SilverFox>
you are sore, you take Tylenol
<SilverFox>
welp, you get side effects, so here's meds for side effects
<SnoopJeDi>
ah, okay. my family are all medical
<SilverFox>
oh look, you're diabetic, here's an entire treatment regimine of about 4 different meds
<SnoopJeDi>
RN, RRT, CC-EMT, and so on...
<SilverFox>
oh, you're getting side effects? more meds, ad infinitum
<SnoopJeDi>
!wpn -add:wpn metformin
<Qboid>
SnoopJeDi: Weapon added!
<SilverFox>
heh
<SnoopJeDi>
fairly sure that wpn is not allowed under Geneva
<SilverFox>
!wpn -add:wpn ramipril
<Qboid>
SilverFox: Weapon added!
<SilverFox>
ayy i have a drug card made for Metformin
<SilverFox>
SnoopJeDi, so many of these meds cause diarrhea
<SilverFox>
so then they imodium them rght
<SilverFox>
but that gets fucked by the 20 meds that cause dairrhea
<SilverFox>
so then I have to clean up a cow patty because they didn't make it to the toilet
<SnoopJeDi>
SilverFox, life hasn't been the same since someone really made it clear to me that the main treatment for dysentery is "don't the patient poop themselves to death"
<SnoopJeDi>
don't let*
<SilverFox>
yeah pretty much
<SilverFox>
anything to do with diarrhea is like "stop it, get some help" cause you rather quickly die from it
<UmbralRaptop>
Yay, dehydration.
<SilverFox>
My patient is on Ventolin, but doesn't suffer from asthma or copd or any respiratory disease?
<SilverFox>
See what I mean about this polypharmacy
<kmath>
<JovalentStudios> @jazzwhiz My girlfriend must be really into astrophysics! ⏎ Funny she never talks about it.
<SilverFox>
nice
<bofh>
SnoopJeDi: I don't get it?
<SnoopJeDi>
they're rather phallic
<UmbralRaptop>
Hah!
<SilverFox>
bofh, they shaped like dildos and vibrators
<bofh>
oh.
<bofh>
ah.
<SilverFox>
now see, this is another effect of polypharmacy, they have him on levothyroxine sodium, and that's for hypothyroid, but there's a med he's on that has a side effect of reducing thyroid function, so if we got rid of the first drug, we'd get rid of this drug, and all the drugs along with it
<SilverFox>
it's negligence is what it is
<SilverFox>
all these drugs I'm making cards for have side effects that cause other conditions that I'm making drug cards for
<SilverFox>
it's a bicycle wheel of drugs
<SnoopJeDi>
s-so profitable ;_;
<SilverFox>
I'ma sign a contract or take an oath or some shit that I won't do this
<SilverFox>
cause this just pisses me off
<SilverFox>
surely there must be some rather good tests for Parkinson's, but there's three meds he's on that cause tremors
<SilverFox>
so either it's exacerbating their tremors, or they acquired tremors from the meds
<iximeow>
UmbralRaptop: hum
* iximeow
fixes config
<bofh>
SilverFox: this sounds like an ouroborous of side-effects.
<SilverFox>
indeed
<SilverFox>
this is what happens with polypharmacy
<SilverFox>
you lose track of what causes what and what's real or drug-simulated
