TSR Med Students' Society Part III

That is a shame. Do you have anymore choices after Barts?

Ahh I like COOP, older people are lots nicer to students And they have good stories about the Wars...

I need some opinion. It's not life threatening, merely gauging whether I need to GSAD.

I had this bite on my neck. A small, papular lesion with an erythematous border that I randomly got one day. Still there after a few days so I wacked on a single application of some 1% hydrocortisone that my sister had for her eczema. A few days later...

I have this 1cm, well circumscribed elliptical, pruritic erythematous and slightly depressed lesion where this bite used to be. I'm not worried about it, it's just itchy and stings a bit if I've gone for a run and sweat's run over it.

Have I just buggered my skin with the cream? :s

Zoomed pic here:

My last clinical attachment is at St Peter's (outside M25) which is kinda far from our other hospitals (mostly West London), so they've given us Wednesdays off since we're supposed to have sports in the afternoon. Win.

I'm having to think about booking flights to South Africa but the place I'm going to is so ridiculously rural that I have no idea what airport to go to. Confuuuuused.I've never booked flights before. I have no idea where to start.

Is that in Chertsey? If so it's the hospital where I was born

I think most of the international flights end up in J'burg or Cape Town so I assume you know whether it's in the east or west of the country? Then you'll have to battle SA public transport system....

Tell me about it.

It's such a strange phenomenon, I seem to experience an inverse correlation between work ethic and time to next exam. Bad times.

Stop making me feel bad

Apparently we're picked up from the "international airport".
Unfortunately they don't specify which one...

I'm going to an area called Pienaar, not sure whether it's east or west... I should probably check.

It's in the East, much nearer Jo'burg.
My advice: Rent a car asap, don't get in a taxi or bus. And see if you can get a week or 2 in Joburg general!!

I've only really travelled around the west of SA but Kruger is a definite must if you're in the East. If you can travel around more then take the Garden Route down to Cape Town, there is loads to do on the way/ when you get there. The country as a whole is pretty awesome though, you'll have an awesome time

My lack of good access to journal articles is beginning to get irritating. Intercalating elsewhere just to get a better Athens account sounds more and more useful

If anyone fancies sending me this article, I'd be thankful.
