Haha yeah(Original post by Orinincandenza)
Hmm, yeah, the annoying thing about schools that take several different things into account is that it's difficult to tell exactly what might trip you up. Lots to consider.
I'd be applying w/o visiting so was there anything that stuck out as a problem for you ?
ADHD is kinda interesting but you know the research is kinda all over the shop and nobdy really knows what's going on yet ?
people are doubting whether adhd is a real medical condition but nevertheless, should be kinda fun 
you doing nuffield during summer then?

Re: CURRENT YEAR 12s-Hopeful Medics (Mk. II)!Stoke is a disease of the brain, but can affect the entire body(Original post by Boom533)
Quick question to any doctors/medics/anyone really...would you guys consider a stroke a disease? Or is it better to describe it as an illness? You can describe it as a disease, illness, a neurological disorder or condition IMO. Whatever uses less characters tbh

Re: CURRENT YEAR 12s-Hopeful Medics (Mk. II)!It's not a disease or illness in the manner that implies you can catch it or an external organism alone will cause it.(Original post by Boom533)

Simply put, a stroke is where (part of) your brain is starved of oxygen. This normally means that the blood supply to the brain has been interrupted (by a clot or leak or w/e). As a result of a lack of oxygen, that part of the brain stops working, perhaps permanently. As a result of part of the brain stopping, you could be left paralysed, with a speech or memory impediment, or perhaps even dead. -

Re: CURRENT YEAR 12s-Hopeful Medics (Mk. II)!Well the actual hemorrhaging part of the stroke is just like when you bleed anywhere else so kinda of a injury i guess, but the way it affects movement and cognition afterwards is kind of an illness or disease.(Original post by Boom533)

On a side note there are really no strong or exact definitions for 'disorder', 'disease' or 'illness', so what is what and why is kinda up for interpretation. -

So I really want to do medicine.. But I don't think I got the grades that I need to apply so do u guys think it will be a good idea if I apply for undergraduate chemistry first then do postgraduate medicine??? Just want ur thoughts on it because I think I will be wasting my time if I applied to Medicine straight away.

Re: CURRENT YEAR 12s-Hopeful Medics (Mk. II)!You ever thought about re-sitting and applying as a re-sit applicant? It will probably be easier to get into than Graduate medicine.(Original post by FuzzBuzz)
