Brains and bodies

Recently graduated physical therapist with an intended specialty in pediatric neurology. My academic background is based on neuroscience and physiology and while my passion is the human body I love all sciences, athletics, healthy food, and fun...

Friends of tumblr, I’d like to help a patient with managing spoons/energy given chronic fatigue.

“The brain is fundamentally a lazy piece of meat. It doesn’t like to waste energy. This is not too surprising given that all animals must conserve energy, so the brain, like every other organ, has evolved to be as efficient as possible for what it does. There’s a myth that we only use 10 or 15 percent of our brains. Although only a fraction of the brain is active at any moment in time, the real truth is that we use all of our brains—just not all at the same time. At any instant, a battle wages between the different parts of the brain. Each piece of the brain serves its own particular set of functions, but in order to carry out these functions, it needs energy. The parts of the brain that accomplish their tasks with the least amount of energy carry the moment.”

Nice work! 🥰

Thank you!

How do you find working in anatomy labs with human samples? Has it gotten better or worse for you over time?

Back when we were in person I loved it,

I learned so much and can not express the impact that someone’s bodily donation can have on burgeoning professionals, especially learning the strength and simultaneously the fragility of the human form.

We had a small group and were responsible for our own dissections, not every program got that opportunity.

The smell got worse for me over time but it was a small price to pay for what I got to learn.

Does this answer your question?

Hey! I want to be a doctor. Do you have any advice for a high school student? Maybe some classes that they should take or any school recommendations? Thank you 💕

What kind of doctor do you want to be? For medicine, I highly recommend physiology and anatomy for starters! For other healthcare professions I still recommend the above. If you have specific schools or fields it may help me answer your question more specifically :)

Hypothetically I open an Etsy, what would you buy?

1. Culinary concoctions (tinctures, infused vinegars, infused olive oils)

2. Craft concoctions (infused bath salts, bath bombs, potpourri, lip balm, candles)

3. Writing (poems, resume templates, cover letter templates)

Just to clarify a couple things:

“Post-menopause” means a woman over 45 who has not had a period for over a year and is therefore through menopause.

If you are post-menopause and experience any vaginal bleeding, even a small amount, see a doctor and get it checked out.

There are other causes of bleeding, including polyps and changes to the uterine lining after menopause due to hormonal changes, which are the most common reasons. BUT cancer is a possible cause, and the earlier cancer is found, the better. Endometrial cancer is extremely dangerous because there is no way to screen for it, so it often advances before it’s found, which, like pancreatic cancer, makes it so deadly.

Here at the end of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, I remind y’all that this is true of all gynecologic cancers. The symptoms are fairly vague for all of them, and aside from cervical cancer, there’s no reliable screening.

But unusual bleeding (or if your period stops when you’re not pregnant or old enough for menopause, which is how mine presented) is something you need to have checked out no matter your age. Especially if it’s in combination with bloating or back/pelvic pain. These can be signs of significant health problems, not just some discomfort you need to push through.
