A legitimate science that forms the basis of pharmacology, physiology, and much of medicine; or total bull****?

 

[DoctorFunk]

Total BS. It, along with microbiology, is a fraud. If I can't see it, it don't exist!

LMAO!!!

I have to admit, it was hard for me to choose, even though I posted this poll. Finally, I thought about my tuition bill and cast my vote for 'legitimate science'

I did want to let it be known, however, that I sympathize with those who voted for the other option.

Haha, this poll reminds me of this girl I knew in college. She was a religious studies major, or something like that, and when I told her I was a chem major, she said "I don't believe in chemistry."

I dont believe in biochem

Pharmacology is biochemistry light. And don't get me started on physiology, their typical experimental hypothesii are along the lines of "We hypothesize that if we add NaCl to water we increase its salinity."

😱 people like that should be hang in public. 😎 j/k

Personally, I find it difficult to take any course where a large part of the lectures is "We don't know, but..." and "it's theorized that..." and "we think that...". Jeez. I'm supposed to learn some doped-up, strung-out, caffeine-addicted, LSD-flashbackin' geezer's theories along with the gobbledy-gook they THINK they've figured out???

Thus the reason I hate immuno. Biochem isn't much better (question in class - no kidding - "hypothesize a pathway for this reaction. We don't know how it happens at this point, so you're not wrong"). Anything else I should be aware of that's upcoming based on someone's hyperexcited neuron activity?

 

[crazy_cavalier]

I love biochem and immuno. The harder something is to visualize, the better I am at visualizing it. Conversely, I suck at identifying all the asinine structures of human anatomy, or identifying all the stupid mundane histological features of microanatomy. Practicals suck.

 

[ShyRem]

Crazy, we'd make a great pair. Loved gross.

having just taken my biochem final, I assert, with the utmost confidence, that it is a pseudoscience of the highest order.

17 people voted that biochemistry is bs? And they are going to be doctors?
No wonder malpractice insurance is so expensive.

Welcome to the Allo side of SDN. You'll find that here we actually have a sense of humor about life and sometimes joke about things.

If you're not ok with that, I suggest you head back on over to pre-allo. Thanks.

by "Pre-allo," he actually means "go back to the Ukraine and stop being such a killjoy on SDN."

Gotta maintain the med-school, med-profession pecking order! 😴

I like biochem about ten times as much as I liked Anatomy.

So, while in our integrated biochem, genetics, and molecular bio class, I started writing down potential answers to test questions in case you were stumped on exam. Many were genetics-related, but I think we can all relate to the last one (there were 42 by the end of class):

1. p53
2. inhibit the inhibitor
3. Ashkenazi Jews
4. MAP Kinase kinase kinase
5. We have no idea how this works, exactly, kind of

I love the list.👍 I loathe biochem!👎

I'm pretty sure at this point Ashkenazi Jews spontaneously combust after exiting the womb.
