Hey lexi, how's Perth like?

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

Anaesthesia is my GOAL n Ophthalmology is inasero's..

stop stealing specialties

 

[inasero]

lol he was thinking about psychiatry but got discouraged cos there not much money in it as he thought initially

 

[Lexicographer]

Nah it was more a prestige thing...but psychiatry doesn't involve nearly as much evidence-based diagnosis as I'd like. It's all a bunch of "this is what we think" rather than "this is what we know". Also, like I said there's just not enough patient interaction in psych, way too much spot-analysis and medicating.

Anyway, I didn't know you two were going for those things. When I got an eye for anaesthesia, you were up for Max-Fax Alvin.

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

no.. i wasnt.. i got discouraged to do Max-fac.. btw.. i think i was in med first so i get dibs lolz

i wanted anaesthesia, since 1) i learnt to spell it.. 2 ) about mid yr..

I highly disagree, having learnt fundamental psychiatry I can definitely tell you that that's not the case even though you might think it's all artsy fartsy...once u start learning it I'm sure your perspective will change.

well if you're becoming americanised like the whole of the damn world is...it's "anesthesia"

I find it amusing that according to the Government figures the average income of a GP is greater than both that of the psychiatrist and the pathologist.

The greatest, incidentally, is the anaesthetist [out of the ones on the table].

inasero: is that 'changing perspective' also known as corruption of the mind?

 

[inasero]

lol chillax its not the hsc anymore!

 

[Lexicographer]

Stop saying things that make you sound like a doped up homie.

"Chillax" indeed.

 

[inasero]

but i AM a doped up homie!

You're doing better than me, I can't spell it OR pronounce it.

Actually, I can pronounce anaesthesia (gotta love copy and paste), just not anaesthetist (or whatever...the anaesthetic doctor)

 

[Lexicographer]

You're so asian, Alvin. Me and Will are in it for the chicks.

Er...

I mean, to help people.

 

[Bob.J]

what's with the number of girls doing med, the guys are like outnumbered here...

which is a good thing i guess

 

[hipsta_jess]

uh, yeah, bob, my course (occupational therapy) is 51 girls and 4 boys.

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

Engineering must have the opposite ratio i guess?

 

[Lexicographer]

Nah there's a few women in engineering, due to such programs as "Women in Engineering" etc

It's the Physical Sciences that really suffer. All the girls are manly or dumb. Or ugly of course, but they don't count.

(am I being politically correct enough yet? oh what a great doctor I shall make)

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

i did my elective in engineering/maths.. its such a cock-fest there ...

health sciences are the opposite..
but its a pity there is sumfing about some med girls tat can be off-putting.. an ego
