Did you have a look yet at our last issue? The topic was Mental Health. Works include how your #medicalschools deal with #mentalhealth, #depression, a #shortstory, and some #artworks. Print or digital copies are available on magcloud.com (link in bio). Remember, proceeds are donated to UNICEF. And a reminder that the deadline to submit for the next issue is June 19th. Theme: “Love, Death, and Dying.” However, since “Mental Health” is always an important topic, works will also be accepted on that topic as well! . . . #art #community #health #humanities #latinx #medstudent #physician #healthprofessionals #science #prisonindustrialcomplex #writing #essay #narratives https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1a7tPhI5o/?igshid=1hoktsph7jvcg
A fever does not mean your illness is bacterial. It just means your body is fighting the illness.
The color of your snot is not an indicator of bacterial or viral illness.
Coughing up mucus does not necessarily mean your cold is “in your chest.” It may still be coming from your throat or sinuses.
Antibiotic and steroid shots are rarely better than their oral counterparts. The fact that you think they work faster is placebo effect.
You do not get the flu from your flu shot any more than you can start laying eggs after eating chicken nuggets.
A temperature of 99.9 is not a fever. And furthermore, when did the back of mom’s hand start reading exact temperature values?How can you know the temp was 102.5 if you don’t have a thermometer?
Toddlers are sick almost as often as they are well. They catch almost every new virus they encounter. Your kid’s one ear infection and constant runny nose does not mean they have a terrible immune deficiency. It more likely means they’re just new and haven’t met all the viruses around them yet.
OH MAN THE CHICKEN NUGGETS LINE.
Wanna know a secret?
…there are actual medical students in my class that believe you can get the flu from the flu shot…
Saving a life is a dance. A grand ballet. There’s a years-long overture building up to the opus. And then the climax. Any room at any moment can become a stage. Cheers to the healers. The life savers. The dancers. http://neatshinyfolk.tumblr.com #neatshinyfolk #medstudent #medschool #dancer #twolives
