EBM = Evidence-based medicine, which is essentially what's being plugged by contemporary Western medical culture. The hours are not so bad. Being at UNSW I can hardly complain anyway. But we (as in the third years) are all freaking out at the moment because there's an avalanche of things...

This was as a high school student... It was also a fair few years back (*sigh) so I can't remember everything. If you're interested, get a hold of a phone and call up the hospital. I think I called the main number but got passed around on the switchboard a few times until I got to the...

Haha... So many people get so defensive when they admit they're being supported by their parents. "I know I'm a leech buuuut...." I agree with glycerine, I do think it's poor form to choose not to work. I'm pretty spoiled by my parents, but I do work on the weekend to pay for textbooks and...

I did about a week's worth of work exp in the cardio ward at Westmead childrens. Get in contact with HR and they're pretty good about accepting students. I just followed the registrar on ward rounds, chatted with a few patients, watched heaps of surgeries (including separation of conjoined...

In first and second year, I was averaging around 24 credit points per semester. Contact hours were approximately 20 hours per week, but it was expected that much of the learning would be self-directed and students would have to put in significant effort outside face-to-face contact hours. The...

*Hahahahahahaha.... Oh dear Lord... I heartily refuse to endorse this product...

That's a bit harsh.

*hahahahahaha rofl.... oh dear lord.... you sure have a way with words.

*Hahaha... Sweetheart, you might find it a bit difficult to make friends here if you keep trying to rank med schools. For one thing, everyone supposedly comes out with the same degree. Each school has its own pros and cons, and their own characteristic emphases on clinical, or tropical med...

Haha... nicely said Bob. Build a bridge, people. Get over it. Oooh... Did you know, the plural of epididymis is actually epididymides??? Argh... I have so little grasp of the male reproductive system. I think I actually need to find myself a cadaver or something and do some self-directed...

Lambert & Hansen: Netter's Clinical Anatomy Has anyone used this before? I'm just really attracted to its small, take-to-uni-able size - it looks like an abbreviated cross between a Moore's Clinical and a Netter atlas.. Useful for revision or another doorstop txtbk?

You have to realise that workforce "shortage" is generally concentrated around certain areas - like rural/remote areas. The government's rural student entry program is just one of the strategies currently trying to get graduates where they are needed - in rural practices. Having said that...

I would just like to point out that I am very much a SHE. Yes. Interesting point, but no. Antimatter is theorised to exist within our universe. It needed to have existed for the parameters for the Big Bang to make any sort of sense. But let's not go into that.

It would help if you were a little more specific. Ask questions and a hundred to one you'll get a correct answer, esp since everything here's peer reviewed. Also keep in mind that study is YOUR responsibility, don't expect others to teach you from scratch. Read up, then ask questions if you're...

Uhh. yeah. It was't as exciting as you'd think. A couple of the girls didn't make it back on the bus... I think they escaped while they could. This is their stuff... Seriously, the topics are okay-ish but I didn't like the way they presented the course. Also I came into contact with a lot...

Haha yeh. That is EXACTLY what I mean.

Actually, no. If you read the date on that post it was what... ten months ago? I ended up doing the gen ed, biggest mistake in choosing gen eds to date. Truly, truly awful.

It's not space. Because the universe includes all space (and time). If it were black 'space', then you'd still call it part of the universe. There is nothing. Idono... maybe we're expanding into the fifth dimension... *shrugs. But that's just speculation on my part.

A question for the meds: Do you ever feel jaded about studying medicine? I'm gonna say it now. IT'S NOT ALL IT'S MADE OUT TO BE. True, I love what I am doing. I would not trade places for a spot in another course (even with those darned cool astronauts). And I think it is a privilege to...
