Medics and Applicants Profiles: Discussion

A lack of research and a slight chance of possible credibility does not change the fact that you were talking ****.

Maybe its just all us Oxbridge medics are inferior to this guy and are just in denial at the fact that they will be superior clinicians to us-FACT!

Perhaps. After all it's obvious that the only reason we chose Oxford or Cambridge was the fact that we're prestige obsessed posh gits more interested in research than practising clinically anyway... why else would we come here?

obviously. Could you imagine going to any other university? I would feel ashamed

God no. I heard that at some medical schools you actually have to meet patients! I don't want to have to talk to anyone who's sick and poor!

A little childish to be giving negative rep and not leaving your name, just becuase I offended you and your medical school.

Well you presented a random opinion with no justification whatsoever.
