The Student Room Group

Fact.

the average medical student kills 11 people before they become fully qualified.

how does this make you feel about wanting to study medicine now :wink: don't want to be rude but being on the boards and just browsing there are a LOT of people who want to do it for money, lots of questions like do dentists earn more than doctors etc..

how would you feel killing (around) 11 people before you get qualified?

let me know if this puts you off :smile:

How many of those would have died anyway? How many people might you have helped in the same space of time?

No, it does not. How many people would eventually be saved due to the sacrifices of those 11? And as |Fluffy said, how many of those people would die anyway? Do you have a source for your fact?

I do agree that there are a few people on this forum that seem to want to do medicine or dentistry for the money. That might just be one of the reasons. Interviewers are quite capable of seeding those people who appear to have little or no committment out of the admissions process though...

Well, there was that one this morning, bit of a bugger. And the one at the weekend - how was I to know you can't defib someone still standing? :rolleyes:

Seriously, I came closer to killing myself this morning cycling between lectures than I've ever come to harming anyone else. Fact check someone, please :wink:

i'd recommend everyone subscribes to BUPA, you just can't trust us killer med students :cool:

i'm sure you'll be ok on your bike, just keep an eye out for disgruntled lone women driving 4x4s :wink:

the fact is from my teacher, who oversees every med student who goes from my 6th form college, teaches various classes on it and runs the group called medics for people, and she is also married to a doctor, it is a fact

i therefore think you may need to look up the definition of a 'fact'
