Introducing TSRMedics™ - a site wide initiative to stimulate interest in medicine
Have you ever thought about
- how songs can influence human behaviour and physiological parameters?
- the psychology of everyday life e.g why there's no clocks in a supermarket?
- the accuracy of medicine as protrayed in the media?
- neuroscience behind consciousness / decision making?
- how drugs are being discovered?
- why and how does cancer actually kill?
- how to become a sports doctor / physiotherapist?
(and so, so much more)
Now it's your chance to have your questions answered.
Introducing TSRMedics™ - a new section on TSR to stimulate debate and interest in Medicine and related health sciences, with input from medics, students and other allied healthcare professionals.
There will be weekly themes on different parts of the body (e.g. heart week), different specialties (e.g. paediatrics week) and different health sciences careers (e.g. Occupational Therapy week).
We will be posting in different parts of the forum - depending on the theme of the threads (Philosophy / Entertainment / News and current affairs etc.).
Let us know if you are interested, and suggest some questions for us!
What TSRMedics™ is not:
- a place to ask a doctor / nurse questions (there is a Health section on TSR - but it's for discussion of Health issues NOT diagnosis)
- a place to ask Medical / Dental / Nursing etc. admission questions (there are sections for those things on TSR)
This thread will be updated with upcoming / previous TSRMedics™ sections and their links for ease of access.

I want to axe a question - see in chemotherapy how WBC count decreases to dangerously low levels - could we not take a sample of blood from the person before chemotherapy and extract the WBCs and clone (like how in labs how specific WBCs are cultured to mass produce antibodies) and inject them into the body so they can replace the WBCs lost due to chemotherapy
that way we don't have to worry about them getting an infection - yes I know antibiotics can be used, but surely a functioning immune system is better than broad spectrum antibiotics

It’s almost as if you have a vested interest in all things neurological 
I think talking about vaccinations could be an issue to discuss (with the increase in parents refusing to vaccinate and recent news about lesbians refusing cervirax and guardasil vaccines, it could be worth looking into - also possibly talk about HPV and how to minimise the risk of it spreading to genital regions).
another topic possibly is to mention about pharmacy being more than selling drugs behind the counter
This is a brilliant thread: did you think of it or was it a general TSR brainwave?
It shows great initiative and gives people the chance to meander happily down the winding river of medical discussion.
Bravo!
Bravo!
Will show it to my son. He'll love it.
this is great!! Planning on doing my EPQ on stem cells for growing prosthetics for amputees and this would be really useful!!
This sounds really interesting, @mpaprika

thank you 
I'm getting work experience in a genetics lab and my plan is to tie that to my EPQ, then I'd probably have to find a care home to volunteer in
