TSR Med Students' Society Part III

Don't even get me started.

On an entirely different topic, will I get raged at by infection control if technically I'm not allowed a tie but if I wear a tie clip? I saw these "invisible" ones that connect through two buttons and the tie label. I much prefer wearing a tie than open collar and the complete lack of evidence to support the "infection control" claims are making me rage. At least if I get rid of the "dangling around" argument then I should be pretty safe, right? I looked in our trusts dress code but couldn't find anything concrete.

I love whoever writes our casebooks.

Was in hospital few weeks ago and the dr kept telling me he was putting salty water through the cannula. My cover was blown a few minutes later.

tl;dr - How do I break out of the student rut? I miss the real world. As much as I love medicine, my friends and being a student, I seriously need other time. I think I might take up some volunteering role again. (But if I come into contact with a medical applicant who insists on talking to me about medicine I will probably just go ahead and chop my balls off)

I ran 16 miles yesterday

Today. Pain.

Why am I putting myself through this?

Oh wait, MedicineMan this is your fault




In other news, found £10 on the ground today

It has been added to my fundraising total

Medic men are strange.

I don't think I've ever seen an unattractive F1/2, i dont understand it. I think I'm blinded by the responsibility cos when I've seen them out of the hospital I've realised what they're like minus the title doctor!

But it seems like when they're handed the degree certificate they all turn fit.

I'm considering nabbing myself an ugly medic lad now then just waiting for him to blossom in a few years.

I'm really showing my psycho singleness off here

Nice! I like that.

You'll thank me WHEN you cross that finish line. Best. Feeling. Ever.

Outfirms tend to give better teaching, more involvement and more social.

Why more social? The general consensus I get from everyone else is the opposite.

I'm already set I'm going to try for at least one outfirm, deciding if I'm going to go for two outfirms or not.

Don't know how it works for your medical school, but at Southampton if you were on an outfirm (basically anywhere but southampton), you got free onsite accommodation. Because you are away from your usual place of residence people make more effort to be sociable. It's definitely like that for the london medical students at the place where i'm an F1. And the teaching is also better.

Isn't the Gas exam the hardest?

I see, I had a feeling it might be something similar. Wrt teaching I assume its better because its smaller groups therefore more opportunities? However, wouldn't you miss out on the exposure to some of the obscene /certain diseases that would only get referred to certain hospitals (RLH or St.B in my case)?

I'm getting so bored of pre-clinical medicine! Same old lectures, and then groupwork is getting so repetitive..Dissecting the orbit today, hopefully that might be a good dissection/never learn anything from dissection...

It's stressful I know, but just keep on seeing patients and doing some light reading. I personally think it's too late now to write notes, so don't try furiously scribbling down every piece of information about galactosaemia or whichever bizarre disorder you think you don't know enough about. Review the basics and you'll be laughing

Basically, I don't have much advice but am thinking of you.
