Undergraduate Medicine at Sydney?? (1 Viewer)

but u get paid while you specialise, you're working for money as soon as you're out of med school
(just that the pay is really shit)

I would think it's worth it when you finally come out fully qualified.

For you, SeDaTeD, 4 years of BSc (Hon), 4 years of PhD, 2 years of postdoc...it's not that much better should you choose to go all the way in maths.

Hmm...is that extra 2/3 years for a PhD worth it...

Hehe note that when people say "really shit", they mean really shit for the medical community. You're still getting more as an intern than you would as a lawyer or accountant (just more hours, but that comes with the territory).

And as for being fully qualified at 40...I know. I know.

yeh your 10 yrs at uni
1 as intern
2 as resident
6 as registrar
19 FUKN YEARS
not to mention constantly studying to keep up to date
all so one day u can get sued wen your 70, 18 years after you retire and lose everything and be a bum on the street

by then the medical protection will probly hav fallen appart and no doctors will be practising,
lol u'd feel like such a gimp

Actually MDOs are recovering quite well, performing better than they did before UMP went into voluntary receivership.

Throw in the fact that accountability is limited to a lot sooner than "18 years after you retire" and you have a deal!

Society will always need doctors. They simply can't afford to screw us over, especially to the point that we stop doing our thing.

 

[gordo]

yeh if u work on a kid,
they have till they are 24 to sue you

so u can retire at 50 and get sued at 74

its a retarded system

all doctors should be immune unless its a genuine negligence claim, not some bs where someone comes out effected from an operations that has known complications

or every patient should have a $5 levy slapped onto EVERY visit to any doctor and the patients can form the payments for the premiums rather than the other way around

im just goin private... muahahaha... less patients less stress.. more money.. srsly tats wat the US system is doing.. and wat the end product of the aust system will be..if it doesnt protect docs from stupid law suits.. as opposed to legitimate ones

no medical student/doctor intentionally wants to be negligent..

 

[nit]

excepting a few cases maybe, like this Dr Patel = Dr Death guy.
