Medblr - Tumblr Posts
There's been an uptick of interest in my medical history posts, so have a Medical History Masterpost:
Skillfully Combined™ (the notorious Victorian cough syrup photo and the pharmacology behind it)
The Industrial Revolution & the Pharmacological Boom (ft. expansionism, chemistry and geopolitics)
The Edwin Papyrus & Imhotep (ft. input and correction from an Egyptologist!)
Cancer as a Chronic Disease through History
Imhotep's gout treatment and modern pharmacology
Absolute Madlad Ambrose Paré, Ligature and Haemostatic Clamps
NB: I'm a biomedical science undergrad who's been reading literature about medical history since age 7, not a doctor or a historian. Whilst I add academically weighted sources where necessary, I strongly encourage you to do your own further reading, and not to take my word as Gospel. Finally, none of this is medical advice, nor am I qualified to give medical advice. If you're worried, see your GP.
Hello Klance fans and the like!
Hey yall, does anyone here go to/have in-depth knowledge on med school? I’m writing a fic and since one of the characters goes to med school I want to make sure I have the correct info and setup for that. I would appreciate someone to be able to read over and give edits on some sections in the future and help answer questions :) please dm me if you have info/are willing to help! Also, if you don’t want to read parts of the fic and you just want to answer questions/explain the journey of becoming a doctor that would also be greatly appreciated! thx
Today in forensic lecture, we were taught the two different types of death- natural and unnatural. I nudged my friend and whispered to her factually that there's a third type.
Supernatural.
She kindly asked me to fuck off.
Autoimmunity
In a sentence: Our body trusts no one, not even itself.
Pharmacology
When pharmac is also laughing at your pitiable condition
Are these toes? Did anatomy lie to me all along?
This is what MBBS does to you after a year or two.
Well, my forensic medicine textbook says this. I did my research, Sherlock...
So my mom had a new theory pop up in her mind
I'm a medical student and she has graduated in microbiology. We were discussing the subject and all of a sudden she excitedly says- The bacteria growing on blood agar are mini versions of vampires, because they need blood to grow!
Mom, you surprise me sometimes.
When you are bored of studying patho, and decide that taking measures for anti possession is more productive.
I was studying virology
My surname is Nair
Needless to say, this is what I sent in the family group
Cheesy line #1
Are you Atropine?
Coz you give me tachycardia.
Favorite response to a request for a mnemonic: "Roses are red, violets are blue, the long thoracic nerve innervates the serratus anterior."
“I don’t think I can do much about the dead one,” said the doctor. “How do you know he’s dead? I realize that I may regret asking that question.”
“He’s got a broken neck from falling off a roof and I reckon he fell off because he got a steel crossbow dart in his brain.”
“Ah. That sounds like dead, if you want my medical opinion.”
-Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
Delightful encounter of the day: a five-year-old informed me very excitedly during our Wellness Exam that “the Ever Given is a container ship!”
Apparently his favorite show to watch is a documentary episode on the Suez canal fiasco.
It looks weirdly creepy and completely awesome

There’s happiness and then there’s realizing that the last ten pages of a scientific paper are just the bibliography.
Medblr’s! 💉 🏥 🚑 😷
I have a page on my blog where I want to make a list of medblr’s (mainly so that I can find them easily, and anyone else). This includes premeds, medical students and doctors. If you would like to be added to the list just reblog this (please add whether you are a predmed, doctor, or what year medical student) and I’ll add you!
These are the medblr’s I’m currently following and I’m looking for more to follow. I’ll follow back anyone who reblogs this (note it’ll be from my main blog)
