TSR Med Students' Society Part III

I can't believe some universities have second year students clerking patients. I wouldn't have a scoobies how to do that and I shan't until fourth year at the earliest. Also agree that I didn't revise basically all of embryology last year, and probably will this year.

Khan academy is brilliant! Sometimes I think I ought to have done a mathematics degree...

Can I ask (mainly aimed at females), how do you deal with male patients making pervy/lewd comments?

There have been numerous times when I've been clerking or examining a patient and they've said or done something inappropriate. At the moment I just try and laugh it off, but I need to find a way to be more assertive without being rude/stopping them from co-operating with whatever I'm doing.

It's not as if they're even all young - I've had it from patients aged 70/80

Even we clerk patients in 2nd year and have to present them....

By clerk patient what do you actually mean?
Theres no way in second year you would be allowed to be the first to see a patient.
Personally i would be a nightmare for a second year to see.

This thread, in addition to revision for this stupid exam, is making me really miss medicine. A lot. *geek snort*

Well we were supposed to just take full history. No examination. I don't mean an actually full clerking!

I feel much the same.

Worse to come in 5th year

I have got to the point where I realise that soon the concept of long summer holidays will die. This saddens me greatly.

I miss the random days off of first year

Feeling a little gutted having to head back on the 3rd, 2 weeks is just not enough. Although it must be said having no revision/work to do for once has been awesome.

I'm looking forward to heading back just not starting placement again. I also spent a week on a medics ski trip so only had 1 week at home.

I have one glorious 4 month summer left.

I like having free time it will sorely be missed (and is being missed this year )

Is it bad I am picking Bsc based on perceived easiness as there are none that I particularly want to do?

I lose one day to dance and the other tends to be spent frantically tidying ironing and getting in supplies for the next week. Then every other weekend is a comp so that puts me even more out of kilter

So, yeah.

I will also be filling it with as much humanities as possible!
I might take a russian module.

Although the sensible thing is to use it to churn out a paper...

I suck a languages but we have a russian oligarch who sponsors the course so it is free



I debated with out global health module but it lookls like haem for now. If only it was more the holiday it once was (haem because 1 day off a week and I actually like it a bit although the basic science will probably make me want to hang myself)
