TSR Med Students' Society Part III

Scroll to see replies

Passed my first exam.....attended heinously few lectures (like, about 7) last term, so was content with my 64%....until it turned out the year average was 70, and over 30 people got scores above 90 :facepalm:

feeling a bit disillusioned with medical school generally. not sure if it's because the reality of actually being here is setting in, or if it's because i'm aware i do need to step up my game a lot with the amount im working, but it all just feels very flat. on top of that, our year isn't very close knit in any way, feel like i'm going to be single forever, and i'm desperately missing languages and humanities, and just blearghhhhhhhhh. first year blues maybe?

Sounds like post-honeymoon period first year blues to me! Have always felt a lack of close-knitness with my yeargroup too, far too big for that to happen. Medical school is a string of peaks and troughs to be honest, but you'll manage. Anyway you can take a languages/humanities SSC? I think I'm right in saying Bristol offer an English lit iBSc too?

Yeah, I only found out today and Brixton is sold out. Everywhere is sold out apart from Glasgow and Norwich. Going to ring up Brixton to see if there's any tickets going though on hold or anything, will let you know if I do.

Come to Glasgow! Best night out of your life. We have clubs with bouncy castles in them. (and hot tubs, but by god you do not want to get into that water).

It's a bit of a walk. Looks like Norwich isn't happening now either as it's £45 for the return train in the morning and doesn't go down to £10 until 8am which is a bit long.

Changed my entire presentation to now be the cleaning icons on labels.

Take advantage of these being your long days!
Paediatrics 8am - 9pm, plus travelling time, which i imagen only gets worse as a doctor. I cant wait to graduate then at least I will get paid for doing ridiculous amounts of hours.

I know I don't work in scrubs....

I had a good day some off the cuff teaching and a presentation the F1 liked.
So left at half 3

I need more scrubs. I don't know where mine are, or if I still fit in them. Should've nabbed some from my last attachment.

Anyway. 1300 more words to go on the essay due at 14:00. Coffee in cup, cup on desk. Stethoscope - On. Noose - at the ready.

Man I feel your pain. It's the travelling that gets me. Coming home after this 8-5 + travelling and revising till 8 is just exhausting me. I've been out of my flat twice in 5 weeks for a social event (one being my interview in Leeds). FML

P.S. what is with this sudden craze in doing homework with stethoscopes on? :s

Dude, it's science. Stethoscope on = more quality work accomplished.

I'm running my own single blinded study, I don't know what the **** I'm doing.

I need sleep.

Just need a cheeky little 200-300 word conclusion and I'm done. Then only 2 weeks to revise all my exam material. :h:

They're too comfortable - the urge to nap in scrubs is overwhelming!

The stethoscope thing doesn't do it for me; it's all about looping "Teardrop" for hours on end!

Is anyone going to medfest? It looks pretty cool...
