CURRENT YEAR 12s - Hopeful Medics

Hard one. Sounds like an interview here
Generally like helping people, and would love to work in a hospital (:
Obviously its a noble and very respectable profession too :P
Theres so much more, I first thought it was for me when I was admitted in hospital myself, and just was curious on various conditions of other patients and stuff. Then I got to do a day at Kings doing a practical session with students, and it was really fun, and helpful because all my questions were answered.
wbu??

Haha!!
Awesome
Well I've always been fascinated by the human body since I was about 6 and it just seems like the natural job - one where you can still be involved in the science but get to see how it directly affects upon the lives of the patients, hopefully for the best

Awww :P bless, ambition from the young days

It's true my favourite books were these science books explaining how your teeth work and your digestive system :L

Thats soo cute I didn't mind, as long as it was something like the hungry caterpillar :L
Funny enough, I used to treasure my encyclopedia on the human body

Welcome to TSR and this wonderful thread

Me too :P Although they have been used for the past couple of yearss!!

Thank you
Oh i see. I'm planning to phone GPs tomorrow and i'm just checking the success rate of getting one. Doesn't seem to be good
Is the problem due to confidential issues?

Welcome to TSR and this wonderful thread

I don't want to sound like a judgemental **** or whatever but why do you guys actually want to be medics? Personally I have a genuine interest in both biology and chemistry and science as a whole but I spent a week in a hospital last week and it just sickened me, everyone was so over-worked and the hospital was under-staffed and they just seem so stressed out.

I just don't get why you'd want to subject yourself to that.

I'll probably do a degree in biochemistry or something since that genuinely interests me(I do a lot of further reading). Medical disorders interest me too but I'd hate to be a doctor.

EMZ=|

Haha same



Let us know how it goes
Many are just too busy with patients or training doctors etc.

Well some of us might want to work as GPs instead, not that I do but y'know.

Sure will do Yeah, that does make sense.

Yeah I guess being a GP wouldn't be so bad but I just always think it'd be a bit monotonous.

I'm not being critical I'm just genuinely interested. 'Cause I figure a fair amount of you have had work experience so you know what the atmosphere's like.

How many have you got to call up?



Well everyone is different and some people like working in stressful atmospheres.
