Qu. 1: If all the salaries rise by 5% next year, what will the total salary bill be?


hmmm...so basically, if you have ten sets of numbers, and you also have a total, and are asked to work out the new fee, supposing you had a 5% increase to each number

Right, i'd think you needed to calculate each individual value. However, it seems that that is not the case, but calculating the total works...

BUT why?

for Q25 why is it like this

isn't it A, why C?

haven't posted here in a while,
still in London, but my work experience was amazing no doubts about wanting to be a doctor anymore!

I hear you. I am sick of this ****. It's not cool seeing that you can't do much while you're not 18. I'm not even allowed to ****ing donate blood. People are dying out there and they won't get my blood cause I'm a few months under 18. I'm chill though, cause I got it all worked out for this summer with a hospice here, in Romania, and I hope I'll be able to convince a family friend-cardiologist to let me shadow her a week or two.

You have to be 17 to give blood. I have given blood twice and I was only 18 last month!

You have to be 17 to give blood.

The BMAT book arrived today, looks good but I don't have time to do any more than make on quick flick. It's a similar format to the 600Q book. Still 2 papers left

tell us more

what did you do, what kinds of things? how long for?

well... if you want the whole story, i was shadowing a cardiologist who works among the Imperial hospitals,
Tuesday- cardiology ward round, catheter labs to watch key hole surgeries for testing the pressure of a lesion in the coronary artery, applying a stent to a lesion, and using a balloon to widen a valve, and standing in on some BRUCE tests
10am-5pm

Wednesday - cardiology ward round, echodepartment to watch ultrasound and Doppler usage for hearts and some random test that increases heart rate to look fro problems, then to the MRI research base to watch some scans and all
8am-5pm

Thursday - cardiology ward round, then to the cardiac centre to watch a pacemaker installation, pacemaker changing, cardioversion (a bit like defibrillation), a TOE, tests to see if tissue in the heart needs to be cauterized due to short circuiting, atrail flutter ismus? ablation, then to the intensive care unit, then to the renal unit
8am-5.15pm

Friday - the cardiology ward round again, watching 6 hours of open heart surgery for a mitral valve replacement as well as detaching the heart from the sternum, and then back to the catheter labs to watch the changing of the wires and installation of a new cardioverter-defibrillator,
8am-7pm

i may have missed out some but y'know all in all i thought it was really good, my consultant said i'm the second person he's ever taken on who he didn't personally know, and who he didn't interview (i couldn't do an interview being i live in Cornwall/Devon)
Pluses; being able to go right into the surgery and look at everything really close up, talking to the junior doctors on the ward round, being mistaken for a medical student was hilarious
Not so pluses; wearing 'leads' makes you ache, having to take off scrubs to go to lunch, that all the doctors dissuaded me from going to uni in london, the fact that i had to leave

was great though

tl;dr - heart stuff

wow! i read all of that, amazing experience

how did you manage to get this?
