TSR Med Students' Society Part IV

Congrats man, I take it you made a vow to never return to the east end at the same time?

I once got within £4 of my £1500 overdraft limit.

If you don't budget and go out every other day: you're going to have a bad time.

Into the last £50 of my £1000 overdraft limit

Completely agree with that last line.. managed to burn through far too much money in one year.. going to have to be more careful from now on..

Christ. That is a lot of debt at such an early stage of your training mate.

I havent been out of my overdraft (which is probably nearly double yours) since I started medicine. I dont know how people dont get into more debt. My student loan didnt cover my accomodation and fees no doubt anything else, i dont know where students are meant to get ther money from?




Not really.

diet of fags, red bull

-£1200 is my bank balance urgh

Congrats to those who graduated and passed exams recently! Facebook feed has been flooded with graduation pics, I'm finding them surprisingly motivating, as I wasn't looking forward to going back in September onto firms. Speaking of which, how busy are you with firms in 3rd year? I know it's 9 to 5, if not realistically longer, I've been told 3rd year isn't as hoop-jumpy and overwhelming as 2nd year.

I've heard it framed even more negatively, along the lines of "Now, there's a male medical student outside who'd like to come and watch. It's completely ok for you to say no, that's absolutely fine, but he just wanted to ask..."

Even in their antenatal book in the birth plan section, it has separate tick boxes for "Do you mind if a student midwife is present?" and "Do you mind if a student doctor is present?" Why is there a difference? Sometimes I think I might rock the boat by refusing student midwives but allowing in medical students, if and when I ever end up on LW. Oh, and I'll be a patient, not a "client."

I haven't touched my overdraft, as I get maximum student loans and £1500 in scholarship/bursary

This morning's exam was not brilliant, the afternoon one made up for it. Had a good ole question about EBV and the contraindication of a certain antibiotic! So glad we discussed it recently!

I would wager also one weekend on call > 2 weeks on firms. You will get to do ****.

Half the people I encounter don't really understand what is meant by medical student anyway, so I vastly prefer being introduced as a student doctor. And, of course, with my steth round my neck for extra swagger, means the chances of people saying yes vastly increases.

One gynae registrar introduced me as "and this is one of my junior colleagues- he'll be sitting in if that's okay"

Ahaha, that made me laugh. Someone said you can get things engraved on the Littman ones, I was thinking along the lines of 'Doctor Feelgood' or 'Professor Ironrod'

For some reason, I missed this post, but I would just like to say that you are a champ. PLEASE do that, that would be hilarious: "NO STUDENT MIDWIVES" stamped across the birth plan

Just to jump in here: **** midwives and **** their students. The ones I've met have been all been domineering eejits and have ****ed me over despite my all my hard work.
