All the value you bring to the world plus taxes and fees - thatâs how you should see yourself.
Donât give in to hate and negative vibes. Being the nicest and most confident person you can be will shut just about any hater up.Â
I hope you find your peace falling on your knees
One patient encounter that I think will forever stay with me is this little girl who came in because of viral infection. as I took her history I had to bite back the tears. THIS LITTLE GIRL, who had barely lived her life, had been through so much. She tried to commit suicide , she had been raped, abandon by her father, and now her mom was trying to kick her out of the house. before she left I gave her a hug cause I felt she needed some love if she had to leave the office to face all of this again by herself. I wish I had the power to do more. ONE DAY I WILL, but for now Iâm only a medical student. I every once in a while I think of her and I hope she is okay. Being a doctor is going to be rough cause this is a type of heartbreak I didnât know existed. The wildest things is that I havenât even been in the thick of it. All I have had is one rotation and Iâve already seen so much. people surprise you.
Nothing is more beautiful than having someone who treats you with the same love and respect you give. I am truly blessed.
You, first.
Love the people who love you. Respect the people who respect you. Be good to the people who are good to you, they deserve it.

Never argue with someone who believes their own lies.
yo all these years and I never knew. This explains so much why I had to work so much harder for my grades. this explains soo much.
I high key want to be a cardiac surgeon. Iâm falling in love with cardiology
I feel blessed in every way. My life isn't perfect but I am thankful for what I have.
if someone had told me back in 2012 that my life would be like this I wouldnât believed them...so many things changed in the blink of an eye. Itâs crazy how it all unfolded. people I thought would be with me till the end all of the sudden drifted away and I met people that I never thought would play such a big part of my life. SHIT 2012 didnât even have the same ideologies as current me.Â

)well if you are going to read an research from a journal you have to see if it is 1) peer-reviewed(meaning other scientist have reviewed the science and the experiment has been able to be replicated 2) see if the journal it is in is a reputable journal. there are many journals, which will publish your findings without actually checking to see if the results were faked. They publish whatever bs given to them as long as they get money from the scientists. You NEED peer- review other wise any idiot can make up numbers and say any bs
 the Doctor that made the claim that there is a link between vaccines and autism has had his license taken awayâŠWhy you ask? It was found that he falsified the results. When peer- reviewed, none of the scientist could replicated the results...BECAUSE THEY WERE FAKED
 immunology crash course: your body has two types of immune responses innate and adaptive. Both of these work in conjunction with each other to protect your body. For our purposes, we will focus on how T-cell and B-cells end up defending your body with the help of dendritic cells/macrophages Definitions and functions: o dendritic cells/ macrophages: are part of your innate response( 1St line of defense). they literally take the protein parts in the bad stuff and then present it to the cells part of the adaptive immune system. They literally tell your body âhey there is some shit going on here, you might want to do somethingâ( plus they destroy the bad stuff by taking it inside and using Oxygen radicals) o T-cell: are part of the adaptive response. They see the presentation from the dendritic cell/macrophages. Once they see these they basically activate lots of macrophages to kill the âbad stuffâ and b- cells to make antibodies. ( plus they made memory cells to remember the âbad stuffâ) o B cells: these are also part of the adaptive response. They make antibodies. These antibodies help kill the bad stuff and prevent it from attaching to your cells/ go in your cells. ( they all make memory cells)
 so vaccines are made to boost your immune system. they expose your body to the proteins of the âbad stuffâ that normally trigger the immune response ( as explained above), but the âbad stuffâ doesnât have the ability to do all they bad things they normally would do. WHY?... Your handy dandy scientists have taken those things out and/ or inactivated them. So what vaccines do is trick your immune system into making memory cells. That way when you actually do have the â bad stuffâ in your body your immune system can go straight for the kill. NOWâŠ. To make sure these vaccines really work well⊠we put adjunctive. Adjunctive just boost you immune system against the âbad stuffâ. What are common adjunctive⊠these are aluminum and monophosphoryl lipid A. they are added in small amount. FACT: aluminum is basically found EVERYWHERE ( water, food, AIR). IN FACT your kid probably gets a lot more aluminum in the food they eat than in all the vaccine shots.Â
 Now we are going to talk about the thing that has everyone in an uproarâŠMERCURY!!!!*duh Duh DUH* so vaccines ( like almost everything) are subject to contamination from bacteria. These little suckers like to get inEVERYTHING. To prevent that we have a thing called THIMEROSAL. This is a mercury based preservative. This preservative prevents fungus and bacteria from growing in the vaccine. The last thing you need is a lethal dose of live bacteria (that is not suppose to be there) going into your bloodstream and carried to EVERY tissue in your body. The amount of mercury compound in vaccines is about 0.003% to 0.01% per vaccine. That roughly comes out to 25 MICROgrams for every 5 mL dose. YOU literally get more mercury from eating fish ( a lot more). In addition, now a days the only vaccine that contains THIMEROSAL is the flu vaccine. ON top of that the main thing with mercury is that the body doesnât eliminate it easily so it gets accumulated. The mercury compound in thimerosal is actually eliminated rapidly from the body⊠so there really isnât any concern about accumulation.Â
 the argument that âthe body should build it own immunity from childhood and that vaccines mess with itâ⊠NO. first of all, infectious diseases (aka those caused by bacteria, viruses, fungus, and parasites) were historically the number one killers in the PAST. They are no longer the number one killer since the advent of vaccine/ antibiotics and sanitation. If our immune system really worked the way the argument states, then historically infectious disease wouldnât have been a problem. Also your innate immune system ( primary defense) is not enough to defend your body against the attack from the pathogen mentioned above. YOU NEED YOUR ADAPTIVE REPSONSE! The problem with that it takes forever for your body to activate the adaptive response when your body is encountering THAT pathogen for the first time. Some pathogen are so lethal and fast acting that by the time you do get an adaptive response it is WAY TOO lateâŠRIPđđ. WAIT! remember that your immune response has memory cells. Well if you are vaccinated those memory cell (created by the vaccine through exposure/ as I explained before) can rapidly activate your adaptive response to kill the âbad stuffâ!Â
 FINALLY this brings me to my last point. There are some people that 1) have a very very poor immune system due to certain conditions 2) newborns that canât receive vaccines just yet because there immune system is not all the way there yet. These people rely on herd immunity to be protected. Herd immunity is just the fact that infectious disease canât spread that well if almost everyone is vaccinated. It makes the probably of infection less. THIS IS CRUCIAL because regular infections in the people mentioned about are LIFE THREATENING/ LETHAL. A simple infection can be 1000000000x more deadly for them. Less people get vaccinated the more likely these people will get the infection. SO MORAL OF THE STORY GET YOUR KID VACCINATED. IF YOU DONâT YOU ARE PUTTING THE LIFE OF YOUR KID AND OTHERS IN DANGER!
