TSR Med Students' Society Part III

Proper pleated chinos mind you. None of this topman ****.

I wear them normally and intend to wear them.

What do people thing of stripped shirts? I tend to wear them but I have heard some consultants can be iffy. I know some of my shirts are not suitable (cerise pink one for example) but I don't know what is allowed/not.

I haven't decided whether to get a waiscoat or not so I can wear a tie...(this wouldn't be with chinos obvs)

Hmm, maybe I'll give it a go. How long was the playtime, I've heard it's very short? Ah, I had a PS1 then a Nintendo 64 when it was in it's final year. I then had my PS2, then I picked up a gamecube basically for free (Mate gave me it in exchange for some runescape money :P). Then I picked up an xbox in it's last year of life to play halo 2 online. Then I bought a 360 and built my PC a year later. Sums up my console history up to the last four years when it hasn't changed. Bar the snes at the start.

What's all this business about posts being deleted? Have I missed something?



It's what I wear. I wouldn't wear anything else tbh. Proper pleated chinos mind you. None of this topman ****.

I personally dislike tieclips. Nothing wrong with a waistcoat. Or a pocketwatch that I would also get

Anyone seen this case?

The family and the former partner of a woman in a “minimally aware” state are asking the High Court in London to rule that she should have artificial feeding withdrawn and be allowed to die.

Her older sister said the 51 year old woman, named only as M, would prefer death to being permanently dependent on others for her care.

The case is the first in which the court has been asked to allow artificial nutrition and hydration to be discontinued where the patient is deemed to be not quite in a persistent vegetative state. The official solicitor, representing the patient, opposes the application, arguing that she has some awareness.

M, a former hairdresser, was struck with viral encephalitis as she was about to go on holiday with her partner, S, in February 2003. The couple had been together since their early twenties.

S wept as he told the court: “It’s not about us at all. We can only speak up for her, nothing more. We are her voice. We have no ulterior motive. We just know who she was and her opinions.”

M’s older sister, known as B, also wept as she insisted that it was cruel to keep her alive. “I know in my heart of hearts that she would not want to live like that. She cannot enjoy a drink, a cup of tea or anything. She has got no pleasures in life. Just a daily routine of being taken out of bed, put in a chair and put back in bed. Shower, doubly incontinent. It is just awful. It’s not life. It’s existence. And I know she would not want that,” she told the court.

Staff at the care home where she lives say they have seen slight signs of awareness in M, such as appearing to react to people and moving her hand in time to music. But M and S argued that she would never return to being the person she once was.

After being in a coma for several weeks, M was diagnosed as being in a persistent vegetative state, but this was later changed to a minimally conscious state, just above a persistent vegetative state. Her life expectancy is estimated at about 10 years.

Caroline Harry Thomas, for the official solicitor, argued that it would be illegal to withdraw artificial nutrition and hydration from someone who was medically stable and in a minimally conscious state.

The case is continuing with evidence expected from care home staff and legal and medical experts.

Thoughts?

Medics of TSR:

How do you feel about the wearing of chinos on wards?

Somewhat relevant to this.. Has anyone read the papers whereby veggies were able to respond to yes/no questions based upon fMRI responses. I believe they were asked to visualise playing tennis for "yes" and something else for "no" which generated distinguishable BOLD responses.

Pretty nifty.

Took me ages to get it, thought you were talking about vegetarians

It's a little short I guess, 10 or so hours maybe? Probably no shorter than previous games in the series but maybe a little easier to do with less retries. I started off with a megadrive, then Saturn and played a lot on my brothers n64, then dreamcast, xbox, gamecube, 360, Wii. Have had all Nintendo handhelds too although no 3ds yet. Don't tend to play many pc games.

Oh some applicant or summat posted a couple of times, I requested they stop, a couple of spammy posts later I asked less nicely, and have received some pretty lairy messages.

Red Bull at this hour wasn't a smart choice. I suppose that early nights are for the weak.

And it is nice to see activity in here again, it went all dead for a few weeks.


Best. Intro. Ever. This does give me a bit of a solid snake.

I made a mistake sorry. Never realised/noticed that it said Med STUDENTS.

A Wii? What is this madness? I'll give conviction a play when I get home. Leave tomorrow . Goodbye nice weather. Untill Christmas when I'm coming back out for a week again

Nope. They have no BOLD response at all.

There is still no hope for these poor people sadly.

Haha I did that too at first.

Lots of male fashion talk in here, where are all the girls soon to be starting clinical years?
