  • Poison won't really work on those rats. They're smart enough to avoid it, and they're resistant. What will work is a rat trap, made out of a small piece of carton, on which you pour some non-toxic glue ( there is a special glue for this kind of thi…

  • Mine is a skilled surgeon from some manga I read. It kinda represents who I try to become after the harsh training of med school.
  • That reminds me of... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Cemetery
  • My mate is a vet. He told me that his main job these days is to "put down" old and sick animals. Is he breaking the first precept? Depends on the type of the disease. If the disease implies dealing with lot of pain or, dealing with situations that…
  • 1. By letting him play somewhere where it isn't too much of a danger for him ? At his age, accidents happen nearly all the time, and will have his joints affected. That's why it is recommended to give your puppy Calcium and Phosphorus supplements t…
  • @JamestheGiant This is what I'm trying to do. Changing my life. I want to leave home and wander around, but, studying medicine requires me to be 'stuck' in an awkward position, in which I am now. I want to take a year off, but it means to restart …
  • @RebeccaS. I was referring to urticaria ( or how's that called in English), allergic dermatitis and so on , which can be induced by eating a protein which the body doesn't quite tolerate. I didn't ( want to) describe an anaphylactic reaction ( in …
  • Was wondering if any members are also Gluten allergic? I am a bit confused? Any experiences, thoughts or concerns? I seem to also not able to eat meat, due to it messing up my blood? Anyone have this experience or heard about this experience? Thank …
  • Society is sick because sick people with sick intellectual capacity are making it's rules. Competition is the engine of human society's progress, from Stone Age to Now-A-Days Age. If it implies brutality, so be it. I believe that o…
  • I suspect you already know the answer. In order for life to exist, there must be death. In order for joy to exist, there must be grief. In order for laughter to exist, there must be tears. You can't take away one without taking away the other. …
  • @music I have a hard time keeping the 'vet' side of my personality from unleashing a jihad of medical explanations.
  • @seeker242 No, I won't solve a thing. It's out of my action's reach to do something. I can't control death. But, if I found out why, I would gain a lot of insight into how 'life'...as a process works.
  • @how I didn't deny the truth of death. It just...seems so lacked of any sense to me. I've seen animals die in front of me, on the consult table at my vet school's clinic, but even if I sat with them, right there, I didn't feel any sadness or any…
  • Hi, Any advice welcome. Had a blood test on Friday for a few things (from routine to potentially scary). I go back on Wednesday for results and I CANNOT relax about it. Talk me down off the ceiling, please? Just watch TV...something that will get…
  • Snoring could be caused , besides sinus(es) inflammation , a bad diet before sleep, and etc. by overgrown tissue in either nasal cavity or in the pharynx. I saw a case where a patient that had sleep problems due to snoring was treated with a simpl…
  • @Dakini It was JUST one moment. ( I secretly hope that I'll have more of these moments were I'm mindful enough to see my ow nsel
  • @Federica I know...it had to endure things physically, and mentally :))
  • @Jeffrey Indeed. I felt sorry for me for behaving stupidly. I saw how my mind simply let the 'flood gates' open and all the mental debris just flooded the whole present moment. After that I continued to swear, but that was out of a bad reflex.
  • 1. Depends on my mood. From 10 minutes to...don't know. I don't time my sessions. I let the body ( or the mind ) say 'stop'. 2. I can say that I kinda stopped meditating for a year and I saw that I become lazier , more chaotic, more angry...but, …
  • @Dakini You are not far from reality. The farms were built, managed and carefully maintained by the communist regime. Nowadays they are just like the ruins of a Dark Age castle, but somehow still functional ( visited this kind of farms in my manda…
  • @Dakini The demand of veterinarians in Romania is something that is discussed right now. Some say that there is no need, others say it is; the fact is that in Romania there is a general need of medics ( 'human' and veterinarians alike) , but ther…
  • @Dakini I mentioned it. The thing is, in HS we do basic biology, physics, chemistry, etc. Depends on what HS profile ( 'maths' vs 'philology') are you enlisted in. For maths, sciences go even deeper than the ' basic' level, and keep it straight at …
  • As a college student in Romania ( native; veterinary medicine student) , I can say that : 1. Most of the kids who drop college are either lazy or really unconscious about their major decisions. Lazy, because they either don't give a f*ck about lea…
  • @SriBrandon It's time to ask yourself WHO is drinking. Are you the one drinking your...beer ? Or is it that the...beer drinks you ? If the beer is drinking you PLEASE put it on youtube? I gotta see that :lol: Or go to Soviet Russia. I heard that …
  • @SriBrandon It's time to ask yourself WHO is drinking. Are you the one drinking your...beer ? Or is it that the...beer drinks you ?
  • " There is no sickness; there are only sick people" ( Mircea Eliade ) Stress, depression, anxiety are not ALWAYS the direct result of bodily functions, but are the result of your thought process ( the mind is a very vague concept for me ), which …
  • Don't know if you like rap, but here is something that I keep replaying for more than a week.
  • I've been struggling with chronic sinus problems for years. I'vew been to multiple MD's with no results. What are some resources for Buddhist/holistic medicine? What are the symptoms of your problem ??
  • Just really curious, I have many reasons. 1.) WHy if there was all powerful God would there be such chaos? 2.) Why are we born with defects? 3.) How does one man create a whole universe? 4.) How does this one man know what everyone is thinking all t…
  • Also, I forgot to mention : give your cat raw meat when you need to add protein into it's diet. If you give your cat dry food with relatively high protein content and you add raw meat, then some allergic reactions will happen.
  • My vet has recommended that I increase the amount of "wet" food for my cats to avoid urinary issues. I have always fed them a wet/dry food mix. I always use 9 Lives/Friskies out of a superstition of a sort. (About 4-5 years ago, not sure if anyo…
