Medlink 2010

Anybody going on the first medlink, I'm going on the first 4 day standard course, I would just like to get to know some people before I go. :smile:

Don't bother meeting people beforehand. It's dead awkward because you recognise people but don't know if it's them or not so don't say anything. And they do the same thing. I learnt that from experience. :lol:

Happened a few times. You get people on msn, talk to them loads then don't recognise them. Or they completely ignore you so you don't know if they know who you are.

Honestly, make brand new friends when you're there, it's not hard, just go sit down in the lounge thing with everyone else! I was quite shy back when I went to Medlink and I still managed to speak to lots of people and make friends :smile:

Not to put you off, but it was rubbish. Everything that was said can be found online, and they have you sitting in a lecture hall for 12+ hours a day. And the practicals were awful, they sent this otoscope for everyone to use and it was covered in earwax, bleurgh!

There are good points though - it can be interesting, and it's good to have the experience of staying in a uni and meeting new people.

Not worth the money though.

Ahhhh! I knew I had a feeling about it that it's not worth it, stupid biology teacher made it seem like it was compulsory that I had to go. I swear he must be working with them on the sly.

Oh no! He deserves a good slap!

It really is just for the purpose of money making. I wish someone had told me before I decided to go. :frown:

You're not the first, or the last :tongue:

I think the best thing you can do is to really try and get the most that you can out of it, that's what I did. Embrace living in the halls for a few days cuz it really is fun, make friends, have a laugh :smile:

In the lectures try your best to get lots out of it, listen to all the doctors speak, it's interesting, nothing new but it's nice to hear their perspective. And make sure you don't stick the otoscope in your ear :lol:

Oh, and St George's Caribbean uni are likely to be there - throw things at them or something. :biggrin:

There was something funny last year, people here may remember - this emergency helicopter doctor (who was ACE, he was brilliant, the only person who was really entertaining and had lots of people going 'EURGH!') was on, and some girl shouted at him 'who is your boss?!?!' about 20 times with him in a complete state of confusion, it was hilarious :lol:
