Huge fucking w holy shit oh my god????????

We are thrilled that surgical techniques are catching up to the many ways in which humans envision their bodies. A phallus-preserving vulvovaginoplasty is the creation of a vulva and vagina without penectomy. For people who want to keep the P and get the V. Embrace the power of “AND”! A vulva isn’t required, either! Individuals can choose to have phallus-preserving vaginoplasty (you may also see it called “penile preservation vaginoplasty.” But, wait, there’s more! Orchiectomy and scrotectomy are also not required (although if the testes and scrotum are present, there may be less room for the vagina.)

In med school, we were always encouraged to ask questions (but only good questions! that was already covered last year! you should already know that!) but to be honest, I never had any. Not because I understood the material, on the contrary, sometimes I understood it so little, that I knew I just had to go home and read it one more time, or a few more times. And I still didn't have questions. Because if I just understood it more, I might get to the point where questions would form, right? Or I felt like if I just reread last year's material a few more times, I might get it all.

But no time to keep repeating the previous years' materials, and at that point, no questions, just a hazy fog of loose strands of knowledge...

And now?

I'm at the point in my third year of residency, where I have so many questions. I finally understand what I'm doing, medicine is starting to come together in my head, and I know why I do whatever I do. With more knowledge finally came the questions, and I can't tell you how happy this makes me. It's sad they almost killed this part of me during med school...

I love medicine, and I love being curious about it.

#medblr #med school #sometimes having more questions is progress #i also feel like im at a way better place mentally #so my mind is just more curious #i love medicine #but it was hard to forget during med school

took a muscle relaxer bc of pain can’t wait to shit my guts out and then fall into a comatose-like state of sleep where the only thing that could wake me up is an undeniable and unforgiving hunger for yogurt and granola

I’m on that antibiotic that can make your tendons snap 🤪 and also apparently causes sleeplessness 🤪🤪 I’m becoming more delusional by the second 🤪🤪🤪

#I have a drug resistant UTI #omg also apparently we don’t actually understand why or how this drug fucks up your tendons lol #I love medicine

It all started with someone else’s hc that Donnie has an innocent/benign heart murmur on Discord and ended with “what solidified leo as the team medic?” and I have not recovered...

Bonus, after three days of extensive research and not a wink of sleep:

#rise donnie #rise leo #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #disaster twins #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #I think about medic leo sm guys #I love to think leo is a closeted egghead and actually reads a lot but mostly about medicine and anatomy #he just needs to keep his fam safe:’) #if he hadn’t been serious about it before he definitely was after that…..

What is the deal with (usually older) people who are anti medication? People who think treating depression or adhd will take your personality away, people who think taking pain meds is a moral failing, people who think antibiotics are bad for you? Who hurt them

#mine #no but for real where did these ideas come from……. #i love medicine

I will bet you there is probably a trend that I wasn’t told about called target that medical health practitioner for being a bad man or woman, and put them on skid row for about 10 to 15 years

Will Frazier there is your enemy right there. It’s probably a heavyset white woman who believes in white supremacy pizza and hates Black people and Asians and especially Native Americans.

Hey Amber, you know what is really cool I feel like a lot of people who have been dicked over by the medical industry. They probably are on my side.

Some of the foreign dentists from far off lands oh gosh, the white supremacy pizza crew are you guys having fun being that you know part of my tongue is numb does that make you feel like a better public speaker than I am you realize that all of that opposition works in my favor, right?

And Rich Henry, once again wants me that probably hurts to Stephanie trash. Poor thing Mark also because white privilege can’t buy his family a good spouse.

Cauterizing wounds. A fervent “bite this,” before a bit is shoved between Whumpee’s teeth; shallow breaths and white knuckles; tear tracks and sweat-soaked hair; red-hot metal and burning flesh, Whumpee’s body tensing as they scream.

#I love cauterized wounds #the paradox of causing pain to heal just WORKS #bonus points if it’s field medicine and Whumpee has to be silent #Caretaker shoving a hand over Whumpee’s mouth to muffle their scream #that’s aesthetic right there #whump

Even though it's been months since I switched from neurosurgery to internal medicine, I still have a hard time not being angry about the training culture and particularly the sexism of neurosurgery. It wasn't the whole reason I switched, but truthfully it was a significant part of my decision.

I quickly got worn out by constantly being questioned over my family plans. Within minutes of meeting me, attendings and residents felt comfortable lecturing me on the difficulties of having children as a neurosurgeon. One attending even suggested I should ask my co-residents' permission before getting pregnant so as not to inconvenience them. I do not have children and have never indicated if I plan to have any. Truthfully, I do want children, but I would absolutely have foregone that to be a neurosurgeon. I wanted to be a neurosurgeon more than anything. But I was never asked: it was simply assumed that I would want to be a mother first. Purely because I'm a woman, my ambitions were constantly undermined, assumed to be lesser than those of my male peers. Women must want families, therefore women must be less committed. It was inconceivable that I might put my career first. It was impossible to disprove this assumption: what could I have done to demonstrate my commitment more than what I had already done by leading the interest group, taking a research year, doing a sub-I? My interest in neurosurgery would never be viewed the same way my male peers' was, no matter what I did. I would never be viewed as a neurosurgeon in the same way my male peers would be, because I, first and foremost, would be a mother. It turns out women don't even need to have children to be a mother: it is what you essentially are. You can't be allowed to pursue things that might interfere with your potential motherhood.

Furthermore, you are not trusted to know your own ambitions or what might interfere with your motherhood. I am an adult woman who has gone to medical school: I am well aware of what is required in reproduction, pregnancy, and residency, as much as one can be without experiencing it firsthand. And yet, it was always assumed that I had somehow shown up to a neurosurgery sub-I totally ignorant of the demands of the career and of pregnancy. I needed to be enlightened: always by men, often by childless men. Apparently, it was implausible that I could evaluate the situation on my own and come to a decision. I also couldn't be trusted to know what I wanted: if I said I wanted to be a neurosurgeon more than a mother, I was immediately reassured I could still have a family (an interesting flip from the dire warnings issued not five minutes earlier in the conversation). People could not understand my point, which was that I didn't care. I couldn't mean that, because women are fundamentally mothers. I needed to be guided back to my true role.

Because everyone was so confident in their sexist assumptions that I was less committed, I was not offered the same training, guidance, or opportunities as the men. I didn't have projects thrown my way, I didn't get check-ins or advice on my application process, I didn't get opportunities in the OR that my male peers got, I didn't get taught. I once went two whole days on my sub-I without anyone saying a word to me. I would come to work, avoid the senior resident I was warned hated trainees, figure out which OR to go to on my own, scrub in, watch a surgery in complete silence without even the opportunity to cut a knot, then move to the next surgery. How could I possibly become a surgeon in that environment? And this is all to say nothing of the rape jokes, the advice that the best way for a woman to match is to be as hot as possible, listening to my attending advise the male med students on how to get laid, etc.

At a certain point, it became clear it would be incredibly difficult for me to become a neurosurgeon. I wouldn't get research or leadership opportunities, I wouldn't get teaching or feedback, I wouldn't get mentorship, and I wouldn't get respect. I would have to fight tooth and nail for every single piece of my training, and the prospect was just exhausting. Especially when I also really enjoyed internal medicine, where absolutely none of this was happening and I even had attendings telling me I would be good at it (something that didn't happen in neurosurgery until I quit).

I've been told I should get over this, but I don't know how to. I don't know how to stop being mad about how thoroughly sidelined I was for being female. I don't know how to stop being bitter that my intelligence, commitment, and work ethic meant so much less because I'm a woman. I know I made the right decision to switch to internal medicine, and it probably would have been the right decision even if there weren't all these issues with the culture of neurosurgery, but I'm still so angry about how it happened.

#I would love to do something about this but I have no idea how to #even the faculty that I do really admire and respect seem entrenched in some of these attitudes #it's really hard to convince people that women aren't traitors in the making #simply because we might get pregnant one day and need time off #oh I also heard people shittalking a resident that was on maternity leave #and saying she wasn't serious about neurosurgery #so it's just inevitable #I'm not the only female student that feels this way btw #there's a reason no women have applied to nsgy from my school in years #sexism #neurosurgery #surgery #medicine #medical school #med school #med student #medblr #my content #my text posts
