<B787_300> 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> ^
<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

<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> look at my name
<SilverFox> now look at me
<SilverFox> you think I'd be surprised?
<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
<bofh> salbutamol? why?
<SilverFox> no clue
<SilverFox> I'm going to ask the NP and RN why
<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
