Can you link to those scenarios please? - I haven't heard of them before, and I've been recommending other resources to anyone interested in medical ethics.

Of course. Here is the link.

There are so many ethical scenarios on there with different characters and the right thing to do in each situation is explained :smile:

Haha I get what you mean. It is quite a relief :smile: I'm still working through the isc medical book and getting to grips with nhs nonsense and looking at some ethical scenarios on the GMC website. Howz urs going?
Yeah i am a reapplicant haha and yeah i'm only 17. I skipped year 5. Not in the UK though :smile:


Really? Wow, I must say I envy you due to your age applying for medicine. I'd be 27 by the time I finish med school if I don't get in. :s-smilie: and went the grad way.

I've pointed people to podcasts from the BBC series 'Inside the Ethics Committee' http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iec and... ahem... wikipedia on the Four Principles. Now you see why I was interested in your link :smile:

haha yeah but if you do get in, you'll be 24 :smile: It's never over until you see the dreaded unsuccessful on UCAS track so there's still a little bit of hope i guess :smile:

Give yourself time to think, you've met all the other hurdles. This is just both parties making sure they want each other. What did they say you hadn't got that you had?

Only from St Georges to let me know I didn't get the gamsat threshold. Which I was expecting from the day I got my results, I doubt anywhere would take a 45 in S3. Will this be your first interview or did you get some last year?
Eeeeee, interview on 16th December for Leicester! Things seem to be looking up for re-applicants this year. :smile:
