Hypothalamus/Pituitary, Insulin feedback loops?

[NYMedic828]

I hope you and the OP understand that was not the point I was making, but giving an example of my favorite negative feedback loop.

Yea. I believe he has 1 year left.

I just wonder on occasion how much doctors actually remember off the top of their head at any given moment and how much is referenced to a book. Like Vene, who is probably a poor example because odds are he does, but do they remember all this stuff all the time?

Obviously in school it is more memorable but I mean more out in the field in the real world.

Good luck on your med school apps. I really wish I had been more caring in high school and gone down that road, not started my real degree at 23 years old. At least I got a great primary career out of it though. Guess I never knew I really enjoyed medicine without EMS though.

Thanks! I actually went to 'real' college at 23 myself (transferred from CC). I'm applying at 26. It's never too late!

Haha im still not in real college. Doing online medic to RN figure i'll just go the DNP route since its more progressive with a career at the same time. Can't work and do medschool or PA.


Anyway back on topic.

If you have good teachers who not only teach you the knowledge, but also how to apply it, you will use it everyday.

When you do that, you will remember.

I think of medicine like a dance, anybody can learn a few steps and let loose. But mastery of the art requires taking no shortcuts and doing the uninteresting and often tedious exercises again and again.

Then the process is trained into you.

I'm an awful dancer


I presume it is more difficult to remember that which a physician does, without practicing as a physician.

If you know the basic concepts, it makes finding and understanding the specifics that you forgot easier. It also makes it easier to use the right terms to get specifically what you're looking for if you end up Googling for something.

I actually finish up May 8th. I understand feedback loops but I REALLY WANT TO understand them. I would love to find a book that take an individual feedback loop and explains each one OR at least group those that are similar but it seems that the books I read are all over the place on explanations. Maybe it's just not that easy to explain.

Medic or med school?

emt/i99 to paramedic

Ah gotcha.

If its any consolation, 90% of paramedics probably couldn't tell you what a negative feedback loop is...

You'd be amazed at what doctors remember. I shadowed a neuroradiologist and he was able to point out any structure of the brain, neck or spinal cord with amazing accuracy. He referenced a book or two a few times but he was right every time without it. He was particularly genius though.

Wait... a neuroradiologist being able to name structures in the field of his specialty? That's not being smart, that's being able to do your job. Now an IM or gen surg or FM physician doing that would be smart. Same thing if the neuroradiologist could recall the FP or OB/Gyn algorithms (i.e. things not in his specialty).

let's just say I hope your test isn't tomorrow, because negative feedback is the key to all of endocrinology.

Our doctor who ordered sliding scale 70/30 insulin thought it was a positive feedback cycle!

I'm well aware of what is and isn't intelligence but thank you.
