BioGhrelin is an appetite-regulating peptide hormone formed in the stomach, pancreas, and hypothalamus.
My name's Kelly. I'm 31 years old and a physician in training.
I was born and raised in Irvine, California, and someday I really wanna go back there. I'm miserable because, even though I love medicine, I'm so overworked and sleep-deprived and stressed out and exhausted these days that I really wish I had some sort of break. This year there have really been no breaks, like, at all.
My guilty pleasures are writing and yaoi. I'm not married or have kids or anything like that that you'd expect of your typical 31-year-old, I never really wanted to get married or have kids. Someday I wanna be the female Hugh Hefner, with a Playgirl mansion, and a bunch of naked hot guys walking around.
Back when I had free time in my life, I dated guys and went to rock shows and played World of Warcraft, but I more or less gave all of that up, now I more or less live and breathe medicine. Sometimes I still write in-between. I also run the translation site for the Death Note yaoi game, Kinbaku Ouji (Bound Prince).
Some random stuff I learned in life:
- University faculty is never on the student's side, no matter how friendly or cool they may seem. No exceptions.
- Your parents will always treat you like a little kid, no matter what age you are. There will never come a point that at last they'll acknowledge you as an adult, no matter what you accomplish or how old you are.
- You do not really know a person until you've been close to them for many years, no matter how close or comfortable you may feel. Even after many years, you may still not know them.
- You cannot change another human being.
- Roommates/flatmates: everybody has issues. You're best off with a roommate whose issues are similar to your issues. If you're an adult and living with your parents, I highly recommend moving out and living on your own; this will nearly always make everyone's life better, unless you have a really bad roommate.
That's it, I won't go forking out any more advice, because anything beyond this will delve into my own opinions and ideas, and I'll probably wind up with a long speech about everything that's wrong with kids (ie, you, most likely) these days.
From a medical standpoint, I'll say this: for the love of god, if you kids are gonna go have sex, ALWAYS WEAR A CONDOM. NO EXCEPTIONS. Even if you're in a committed relationship. If you're not going to be safe, then DON'T HAVE SEX. This goes both for hetero and male/male couples. Women should also be on the pill (ie, both a condom *and* the pill), if you're a teen female and are considering having sex, and for whatever reason you do not want to ask your regular doctor for the pill (Orthotricyclin), you can make an appointment with Planned Parenthood and get birth control there with complete confidentiality. They can be pretty exasperating because, as a non-profit organization, they're somewhat disorganized, but have patience with them. Regardless, *never* have sex without a condom, no matter how embarrassed you are to buy them, no matter how good you heard it feels without one, no matter how long you've been with your boyfriend, no matter if you're also on the pill. If you are a female telling yourself that the boy should buy the condoms, think again. You should both buy them, because if neither one of you has them, then you're stuck without condoms. Sex is for both people, so both people should buy the condoms. If you don't have condoms, DON'T HAVE SEX. If you can't be responsible and safe, DON'T HAVE SEX. You have no idea how many patients I see on a regular basis who have STDs because they didn't wear a condom, or because they thought their significant other was clean; sometimes your significant other doesn't even know that they have an STD because they're too embarrassed to be checked by a doctor. If you are freaked out that you might have an STD and are too embarrassed to go up to your doctor and say you want to be tested for STDs, go donate blood. They will always test the blood sample you give to make sure it's clean. If they find anything at all wrong with your blood sample, they will contact you. You have to weigh at least 110 lbs to donate blood, and, depending on where you're from, you need to be at least 16 or 17.
As a clinician, here is what I've come to learn: many diseases and illnesses are widespread not because they aren't preventable, but because people do not take the appropriate action to prevent them. Quite unfortunately, a great deal of illnesses occur at a high prevalence because people are too god damn stupid to protect themselves, and this often includes, but is not limited to, STDs. By far, the best means to protect yourself from diseases is preventive care. This means not only *always* using condoms *and* the pill, but also coming in for regular checkups involving a full physical exam. The problem with teens having sex, as I see it, is not that it's 'immoral' or 'slutty' but that more often than not, teens do not act responsibly when it comes to sex. If you're going to have sex, you need to be smart and responsible about it, and, quite unfortunately, all too often, adults aren't smart or responsible about it, either. And that is a large reason that so many STDs are so widespread. If you are a female who is going to be sexually active, don't be stupid. Come in for gynecological exams and full physical exams once a year. Always use a condom. Get on the pill. If you're 'too shy' to do any of these things, then don't have sex. Shyness should not be a reason for irreversible detrimental changes to your health to occur. If you're a guy who's going to have sex, you should also have full physical exams once a year. Also, all females should come in for a breast exam once a year and learn to do breast exams on their own, to do once a month - breast cancer is one of the most preventable cancers there are, so don't be stupid about it. If it's diagnosed early, you can get it out before it ever becomes dangerous.
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to ask me, even if I sound like a total dork for saying that.
