Hmm, I've had my heart set on Immunology more than the other specialties to date, so I suppose it's kind of accurate.

 

[Lexicographer]

YES! Alvin the pee-doc! WIN.

DAMN IT TOLD ME TO BE A NURSE.

Edit: Ok I was joking, here's my real list. I don't really think it's so accurate, but I haven't done anything clinical (except talk to a LOT of old people) so I'll do it again later and see how I go then.

Interested in infectious diseases or emergency at the moment, but because of lack of experience this doesn't really work for me and other non med student ppl. Not sure what the others encompass.

I bolded the ones that i've thought interesting so far - but it is still first year. Interesting test though . btw, did anyone else get asked the same questions 5 or 6 times?

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

yep... the idea is to make sure ure answers are reallli wat u want..
it provides uniformity in response..

mervvyn: my exam came up with everything tat u want but peds..lucky.. cos i cant stand peds after this yr,.

 

[mervvyn]

i have a feeling that everybody (well, almost everyone anyway) goes through a "paediatrics would so cool" stage somewhere around the beginning... lots of people i've talked to seem to have mentioned it, unless it was those damn imaginary people again...

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

yeah then u realise lik being a teacher doing peds is sooooooo crap in appreciation.. . and govt spending..

yeah and all the kids are sick.. *sigh*

 

[Lexicographer]

I'm the opposite. People keep saying "you'd do great with paeds" and I'm like "f--k off kids I want to give cigarettes to babies".

 

[inasero]

mervvyn your ECG is whack...
i feel sorry for that patient...s/he must be in AF or something lolz

 

[velox]

what's aerospace med?

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

mervvyn your ECG is whack...
i feel sorry for that patient...s/he must be in AF or something lolz

naw i disagree with ure diagnosis.. .. there isnt a R-R interval to measure
and may indicate a MI... no/low QRS .. depending on the lead.. alternatively it may be a sound file..

umm did u ever see skywalker's 12 lead ECG last yr? tat was crazy..

Aerospace med is understanding the effects of high pressures/ high velocities/high acceleration on the body.. alot of exercise and space physiology.. its for working with NASA or an airline from wat im told..
