The last two weeks of placement have been really fun. Although my consultant gave me a hard time (well I'd like to think it was banter) I am really looking forward to starting the clinical years and being on the wards. I got to scrub in and assist in surgery - and by assist, I mean retract breast tissue and not move for three hours, which wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.

I also saw lots of breast surgery, thyroid surgery, an amygdalohippocampectomy (:coma:) and even removal of a BB bullet from a child's ear.

I, being the idiot that I am, never presumed applicants would be joining medical school networks on facebook before they have even started, gaining access to my profile etc (you know, considering that I presumed people in the BL network were actually BL students) and having a gander! Cue crash lockdown of my profile to friends only.

Schoolboy error I know, but is it just me or is this an all new low for TSR? :s-smilie:


how did they know it was you though? did they say they were from TSR & not just a random applicant?

nevermind, just saw the barts thread.

Well I tried to follow up the patient post-op but he was in a critical condition in ICU.

Common complications in the aftermath of this procedure includes memory impairment, transient dysnomia, contralateral homonymous superior quadrantanopia and personality / depressive mood changes.

Tell me about it! You'd think deactivating FB would mean I'd spend less time procrastinating online...

I've still got eight lectures to write up before I can say I'm up to date with lectures. I still haven't made a start to my 5000 word SSC, which is on the regulation of intracellular calcium. No doubt I'll make that more complex than necessary. I've made a start to my family study assignment though! :biggrin:

Is it possible to research and write up an SSC from scratch in less than four weeks people? Not gonna lie, I'm getting worried! :redface:

You can do it!

TBH, when I'm going for anti-procrastination, I get banned from TSR. Facebook doesn't tend to eat up so much of my time.

Fix'd.

If it helps, I'm online at 5.30am. On a freaking sunday. When I have a 9 o clock. Sigh. I wish I was a normal human being who slept at normal times.

Don't you have to have a valid email address within a network to join..? Fan pages/likes etc. are free for all though.

Facebook could be a bit stalkertastic - but it's handy that you can view how your profile looks to other people in the account settings - both people you don't know & people you do if you're using limited ones. :ninjagirl:

I occasionally got emails from applicants/randomers - who looked me up on the university Contact Search after my name was 'out there' in some official stuff which felt a little bit weird! :tongue:

**** this. Line's been crossed. I'm getting off TSR.


:eek: Permanently?

You still have to come to the meet though. :p:

Very few people from here add me on fb without actually meeting me. I don't think I'm that hard to find either - maybe they just don't like me.
I can't stress enough how much I hate microbiology.
Is anyone coming to UH revue?
