Mine has 24, in 1 Mac. Does that make me an aristocrat or a hipster?

An aristocratic hipster. Instead of sitting in Starbucks, wearing a scarf indoors and drinking a latte you instead sit in The Ritz, wearing a monocle while drinking afternoon tea.

No doubt complaining about the uncouth yobbery defacing the property.

How integrated is Newcastle Medical school with the hospital, location wise? I swear I saw a sign saying "Medical school" when one of the Juniors ran some bloods to the path lab.

One would think that if it was on site SGUL wouldn't bang on about being the only school in a hospital.

The medical campus at King's is on a hospital site, with one of the lecture theatres being at the top of Guy's. Georgies don't know what they're babbling on about :tongue:

Built into the hospital (i.e. if you follow the coridoor the medical school offices/library/etc. is on you'd end up sooner or later in a ward.) - SGUL claim that? Haha. Nottingham is also very much part of the hospital, and so is Sheffield. You mad SGUL?

I don't think one lecture room can count as the school being in the same building as the hospital (which is what George's say). I've spent a *lot* of time on King's campus and although pretty close, it's not as integrated and Georges is more aesthetically pleasing. Whether that matters is debatable. I think having to put up with KCL students would be more of a pressing matter for me :tongue:

Maybe they said in London, not in the country which would be true.

Well you have to climb some stairs first, but Costa in the hospital is closer to me than the dental cafe
I like to think some of us are looking to bring our working class charm into our prespective medical schools...

Gutted there wasn't a token "I was born on a council estate" doctor, even know he/she would of probably harped on about it I think it would genuinely made some people from working class backgrounds realise they to can become a doctor if they work hard enough.

Well, most of the rest of the medical school is what used to be the hospital :tongue: Anyway, we have a MacDonald's.

In all fairness, I haven't seen George's to judge; but that would mean facing the difficult matter of dealing with SGUL students.

:tongue:

THIS is very true. Whilst the doctors are lovely and everything, I'm a single mum and the most inspiring story I read/saw was Fey Probst, a single mother of 4, who became a doctor 20 years ago. It shows that it is possible, and served far more use to me than watching Junior Doctors.

IF ONLY I COULD GET MY HANDS ON THE ORIGINAL "DOCTORS TO BE" SERIES ARGH.

I did some work experience at North Tyneside, and they had a "medical school" section at the hospital, which basically consisted of some rooms and a lecture theatre etc :dontknow:

Aberdeen's medical school is on the hospital site, and the bit termed "Medical School Building" is actually the path/micro/haem labs for the hospital. SGUL are definitely not the only ones...

Swansea's med school is like a 2 minute walk from some of the hosptial and is on hospital grounds.
Dundee Med School is IN the hospital. I had to go through the hospital to get into it!
They sometimes wheel patients past our seminar rooms. :ahee:

We have lectures at the hospital in Southampton. The anatomy suite is also there.
