I don't want anything medical in the slightest because I'll just regret wasting my money on medicine

Re: TSR Med Students' Society Part IVYea we have Cannulation, Cranial nerves and motor exam today, AMK weds and then BLS (2 person), Airways and PBLS with Choking Child.(Original post by mrs_bellamy)
Ouch, what are the clinical examinations? Some kind of competencies? Good luck! It's quite a nasty time for 4th years too, but spread out slightly more. AMK tomorrow and then all the longitudinal SSUs and logbook due in next week.
But thats minor compared to everything in 4th year. Good luck with the DAT (and the rest for that matter) -

Re: TSR Med Students' Society Part IVOh wow that's so harsh of them to put everything in one week! We never had that. We also did cranial nerves and motor in GP, rather than in clinical skills, which I guess was either less or more stressful depending on the GP. Thanks, and good luck to you too!(Original post by carcinoma)

Re: TSR Med Students' Society Part IVBtw, where do you guys stand on giving advice in the health subforum? If I do post, I tend to just aim to reassure the OP if their worries are particularly unlikely or unfeasible and then advise them to attend their GP clinic. I try to avoid stating any possibilities even if they are giving a history which strongly indicates one condition over another, but I frequently see other posters throwing around 'diagnoses' which I really don't agree with.
Where do you guys stand on correcting posters who are giving a diagnosis which is probably incorrect (and I would imagine quite frightening to the OP)? In a way it kind of contradicts what I've said in the first paragraph about avoiding stating 'possibles'. Or do you just avoid the health subforum all together? (I would probably choose this option but I can't help but be sucked in by it at times).Last edited by GodspeedGehenna; 13-03-2012 at 17:40. -

Re: TSR Med Students' Society Part IVNot helpful for you at all but its ridiculous how any combination of symptoms always results in a post of "sounds like diabetes"(Original post by GodspeedGehenna)

Re: TSR Med Students' Society Part IVI think it's OK to be relatively vague and just give some decent advice such as getting them to go see the doctor. I certainly wouldn't want to offer any diagnoses.(Original post by GodspeedGehenna)

I have seen some very stupid suggested diagnoses from lay posters before, with somebody telling someone they definitely had narcolepsy where the history was certainly not suggestive of that. I told the person who suggested that not to strart throwing diagnostic labels about as it's very unhelpful, whilst trying to get the OP to ignore what the other poster had put and get themselves to the doctor.
In short I totally agree that posters should not be offering up diagnoses, whatever is going on but especially if it's very improbable.
