hint hint

there are white and black doctors but no so much.


iirc a lot of european medical schools are free or cheap, but doctors dont get paid much. so it makes sense to get free college and come to america to make more.

i'm sitting here on my couch and every 5 minutes a bead of sweat will roll down my arm, i can't wear sleeves anymore, cuz there will just be huge pit stains, every day at work i sweat like crazy too it's fking annoying. it's actually too much and i was hoping there was a simple fix to my diet etc i could do.



idk tell me that he can prescribe me something, tell me to change my diet drink some other fluids idfk..



yeah, i want a doctor that speaks fluent fucking english... impossible to find round here.


Well, he could be right, stress issues could be the underlying reason (or anxiety, fear, pain, etc), as the sweat glands (mainly eccrine is of pertinence) are under control of the sympathetic nervous system and thus norepinephrine. It's interesting, however, though the SNS controls sweating, it's mediated by acetylcholine. Both anti-cholinergics and/or sympatholytics are used to treat clinically significant excessive sweating.. I'd definitely get it thoroughly checked out before delving into that route though

you aren't gonna be able to practice in america with a foreign medical degree iirc. I know for a fact law firms will laugh at a foreign law degree,

From what I've seen a lot of foreigners that come to america are the more privileged people from their home country, so likewise they have higher aspirations for themselves and their kids. Hence why we see a lot of foreign professionals in our country

i know a guy who was a doctor in iraq. he's studying to pass the certification now. afaik his degree is recognized, though.

@law, i doubt most of the law degrees in foreign countries are specifically US law, so it makes sense that they wouldn't recognize it.

What are you hinting at? One in four physicians in the Us is foreign-born, which isn't a bad thing. Our entire scientific infrastructure would have collapsed years ago without the H-1B visa.
