Mantoux Test Puns

Friend of mine took mantoux tst test. There was minor redness in his skin in the first 48-72 hrs. Report came and were negative. Now after ~5 days, we see a small bump in his hand (formation of induration). Is there any case of false negative (delayed reaction)? Or is it normal to have an induration afterwards and till how much time will it sustain?

I(30) was diagnosed with lung tuberculosis when i was still ~10yrs old. I went through a six months medication and was cleared. In my new job i went through their medical pre-employment screening and during chest xray, the "scar"- inactive granuloma- was seen. In my previous x-rays it was also visible but was not considered critical because they say that the scar cannot be removed. Because of this i was asked to undergo mantoux skin test which returned positive. I've read some sources from the internet that mantoux should not be performed on persons that was previously given medication for tuberculosis. Is the mantoux test not really suitable for my case since i had history of TB medication?

It has been long due since I had to write a post. I had commented on some post previously that I will write a detailed post. But because of due to laziness, sickness and being busy could not write a detailed post.

I am just like a fellow sufferer like you. My story started nearly two years back. Firstly I used to have burning sensation during ejaculation during wet dream ( not had sex due to personal beliefs). After that it turned into weakness. ( thought it was laziness). Then I had the urinary symptoms. Had to go to urinate frequently. Then things were going on like this（well that is what men do, if u have small problems keep going with it ) . But the sudden onset of pain came after oneday going to jog. Felt like i had groin pull. Now this went for a while. Then one day the real deal happened. Was hit like a truck. I had so much pain. Had a running fever. Could not move. Could not pass urinate. Felt like actually dying. But the biggest mistake was not going to the hospital. After two to three days, I went to hospital. Did a urinanalysis. Nothing came. So, I was told I had mumps.

But the pain persisted. After 20 days, I went again. This time they did a ultrasound and blood test. nothing on blood test. But on ultrasound found infarction part of my testicle had died. I felt like the sky has been brought down on me. They gave me anti-biotics and told the infarction isnt too big. The pain will go away. IT DIDNT. I took the meds. ( levofloxacin and metronidazole). Extremely slight decrease in pain. Again went for the doctor. Changed to azithromycin. A little bit improvement. Then same old story. Could not sit. burning sensation. spicy food coffee exacerbated the problem. Then they told it has turned into chronic again some meds. After that they told it is chronic prostatitis. Again some anti-biotics. This fucking charade went for 1 year. Had a change of doctor. Then the doctor started symptomatic treatment. anti-depressant for bladder control. And told I have to tolerate the pain for rest of my life. Had another doctor. did some tests, urine culture, prostate fluid culture. Tumor marker. Nothing came. The doctor kept me on paracetamol(YES FUCKING PARACETAMOL for 1 month). Then one day had a pretty bad flare up. Went for ultrasound. Significant fluid collection. Still the doctor gave regular anti-biotics. No use. Felt a little bit better when was taking anti-biotics but no significant change in pain. Then went to another doctor. He first suspected chronic

Hi all,

I've receive DMs regularly following my previous replies about how I ended up doing a fellowship in Canada.

So figured a searchable post would be useful. Will write a bit about my back ground/registration process/experience so far.

Im a paediatric ST5 (applied for 2 yr OOP) doing a paediatric subspecialty fellowship at sick kids. It's a 2 year programme, which is equivalent to what a Canadian fellow would do and after finishing the programme I will get an equivalent diploma. Fellows work between registrar and consultant level. After my 'core' fellowship I can apply for a 'sub' subspecialty (ppl generally have to be cct or equivalent for these).

I was an average med student (actually bottom quartile lol). Based in North of England. Did a normal F1/F2. Started paeds ST1 and got an ACF starting ST2 (luck imo, I didn't intercalate just did one small research project in 4th yr med school).

During the ACF I got one publication (SR/MA) and did an MSc and then secured charity funding for a PhD (started ST4.5). PhD it self was fine but personal life was extremely difficult and this impacted my PhD (divorce, depression, being diagnosed dyslexia and dyspraxia). So PhD extended to 4 years (without much support/encouragement from my supervisor).

During PhD I did some clinics in my subspecialty of interest/& lots of locums. I published/presented for involved in local and national committees/education. Compared to most adult 'phd-ers' I didn't do much. Just 2 publications from PhD at time of Canadian application (and 3 in total from PhD).

Submitted/defended/completed my PhD in 2020.

Applying- had heard of sick kids. Knew it was prestigious and figured nothing to lose by applying particularly I wanted a change of scenery. My supervisors/referees didn't think I'd be successful. Had to search/find info independently for applying. To start July 2021 I applied March/April 2020. I interviewed in July 2020 and got my offer in September 2020. I submitted a CV, covering letter and references.

So for fellowships you will have to identify hospitals yourself and check their timelines for applying etc.

Following offer First step Is applying for Canadian licensing (CPSO) Painful and detailed: I started it in October and only just got finalised the day before my fellowship.

E.g. I transferred deaneries to start my ACF. I had to contact TPD almost 10 years after starting ST1 to get a letter confirming I chose to resign and that I wasnt sacked. One fellow starte

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

And boy are my arms legs.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.
