UCL Medicine Offer Holders 2013 Chat Thread :D

They're ok, I guess I'm a bit behind given all the preparation for interviews this past month. However I am getting back on track and should be fine for June. How about you?

Christ's . How about you? .

St Catharine's maybe see you there! Are you confident about getting that A*?

Oooh nice . Hahaha noo way - I was before I got my offer and now I'm terrified . How about you?

IM SO CONFUSED ABOUT THE HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE, do we have to get all those jabs and prove that we have them before we send it back or what? I JUST DONT GET IT, POTENTIALLY COS ITS 12.25am BUT STILL

Haha your last sentence :P

What I did was fill it in and send it off as soon as it was done. Then book the Hep C (I think) vaccinations, organise your BCG and I think they'll give you a blood test once you get to UCL

AAAAH thank you, I think ill just call my gp and ask her to fill in for what I have, and then send it off and get the other stuff afterwards

IM JUST SO SCARED ABOUT MISSING THE DEADLINE! SO SCARED. How much would it suck if you did

Anyone else apply for accommodation yet?

I supposed that we get a blood test once we get there.

I got my BCG today - the first few minutes felt like someone was rubbing stinging nettles all over my arm D:

i had my mantoux on friday and im "clean" but i dont want to have the BCG! it will be like a nasty running pimple for 6 weeks and then it will leave a scar. best part: it is not like 100% effective either, like 60% or something..

I had my Mantoux on Friday too and it wasn't too bad. It came up completely negative and so I just blanked out the thought of the pain, discharge and scabs and did it. I actually didn't feel the needle go in but boy did I feel the liquid! It just looks like I have a red blemish there now the size of a rubber on the end of a pencil. I'm awaiting the hard, pussy lump :P

When is your actual BCG?

this is so disgusting. chances are we are going to be doctors for crying out loud and we are moaning over a freaking lump. just think that out there someone is getting an amputation or something! I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE LIQUID, that u could feel it i mean! i once has a CT with contrast, it is by far the worst feeling in the world. you can actually feel the liquid travelling from your arm to the rest of your body (you will be amazed how fast it travels though!). i didnt book my BCG i was still waiting the pros and cons of having it :P but its fine cause i dont have a GP but a pediatrician who comes to my home 30 minutes after i call her so all is good! ill prob have it today/tomorrow or something
