TSR Med Students' Society Part III

OCSE tomorrow. ****.

Do you know what stations you have?

I've got my hip and shoulder examinations down to a tidy 3:20, allowing some spare time for panicking/forgetting what I'm meant to do next

You'll also get the option of doing an option in Experimental Psychology, which will be a term's worth of lectures and tutorials (~8L/6T)

... I wouldn't recommend it.

does anyone actually do it? it sounds really good but like a huge amount of work

Can anyone recommend where I can order a suture kit for practising? I've come across a few sites but I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations, eg, types, prices, etc.

Thanks!

I'm starting to make some progress on immunology

Nick some sutures, a needle holder, toothed and non-toothed forceps and practice on chicken legs, bananas, pig trotters.

You should be able to get the kit from a friendly A&E doctor or theatre staff, and use a disposable (single-use) suture kit from most wards or A&E.

Imperial do pharmacology? Wonder if (1) it'll be open to externals and (2) whether it'll be popular with internals.

There used to be a pharmacology option several years back but it got canned, and now it's been brought back. If it runs smoothly in 2011-12 (which I hope it does!) they may increase the places available and open it up to externals for 12-13.

I really have no idea which one I want to do...

Out of sheer curiosity, do you know the ratios of applicants/places for this years external applications?

Why even more so now? I know it is no longer Haemaholiday which greatly saddens me...I will look forward to the fair although some have already been crossed off

ARGGGHH I hate finals. SO much
OSCEs next week and then a week of dread before results. Whyyyy?

Where have you been? :O
