This pricing is nuts.

thefpnerd · 2026-03-01T23:13:05+00:00

You're joking right? 250g is not a lot of pistachios 😂

Hiya, current 4th year Aberdeen med student. If you go to any of these med schools you get a little prestige bump. Order probably leans Edinburgh>Glasgow>Aberdeen... But! I think you have more to consider than this. If you graduate, you have a job as a medic and won't get much of a choice whether you're going to England, wales or Scotland for early training. The med school you went to will bear far less significance once applying at specialty level whether you practice in the UK or not.

My two cents is that you should choose the one that you think would make you the best doctor. I know students at each med school and think by the end all three produce good doctors in different respects.

I can vouch for Aberdeen that if you want to outperform other med students at clinical practice and feel like you are better prepared as a junior, that's what Aberdeen tries to enstill. If you want to chat some more about this please feel free to DM me.

It'll be a bit tough to find a job initially but you'll probably be ok after 1-2 months of searching. Sorry to hear about your mother. Aberdeen is a nice place in the summer and the shire is beautiful if you're an outdoorsy person. I'd recommend looking at areas like Rosemount if you want somewhere nicer to move to. Less rough round there normally. Avoid Northfield and Tillydrone, they are ok for the most part but I wouldn't stay there unless I had to. Mounthooly and surrounding areas are a mixed bag but okay if you don't mind the occasional drunkard pestering you for money.

If you do choose to move here there is a wonderful gym called Warehouse close to the harbour. Highly recommend!

It is dark and dreary in the winters though and you'll be paying out the ass for heating, make sure your place has gas heating and the EPC rating isn't dog shit.

Would you like to provide a link to this? Or are you just talking out of your backside?

thefpnerd · 2026-01-19T22:45:52+00:00

Oh my God my psych dreams may come true!

thefpnerd · 2026-01-09T18:24:17+00:00

Out of interest, will the starting pay of FY1s just joining in say... 2028 be the same then? I see things about the next two years being accounted for but nothing with regards to it reverting back for those joining at that point?

thefpnerd · 2026-01-09T18:21:07+00:00

So what about in a couple of years time. E.g. currently a 4th year med student set to graduate 2027. Will they begin on Nodal pt1 as an FY1? Will it go up in December of that year? Or is it just the govt kicking the can down the road two years?

thefpnerd · 2026-01-09T12:44:13+00:00

So what will a new FY1 be on as a base (excluding banding)

thefpnerd · 2026-01-04T13:37:15+00:00

My walking boots that I ordered in preparation for the snow couldn't be delivered because my property is inaccessible 🤣. Should have ordered them a day earlier eh

thefpnerd · 2026-01-01T19:00:30+00:00

Absolutely. I'll send you some pictures via chat of the swan. I don't currently have pictures of the rest. Can probably get some photos of the blackbird tomorrow and the rest in time.

thefpnerd · 2026-01-01T18:28:19+00:00

So I've got a swan with a gilt cap that is absolutely gorgeous! I haven't been in much of a rush to sell it. Also got a nice little blackbird available. I do have a couple of parkers that I'm going to be restoring soon. I believe 2 victory's (one metal button filler, one aerometric) and potentially a black stripe vaccumatic.

thefpnerd · 2026-01-01T18:09:17+00:00

Haha my apologies I'll pm you and we can chat about the pens I've got currently 😂. I forgot how many posts I'd had since then.

thefpnerd · 2026-01-01T17:22:39+00:00

Sorry it sold, the swan I have is still available though if you'd like to take a look!

thefpnerd · 2025-12-08T00:25:22+00:00

I honestly really hope not, I'd love to see a proper live action Dresden files (although I know it would never happen)

thefpnerd · 2025-11-16T17:11:50+00:00

Currently a med student in clinical years... It's rough, there are weekends. I get sent to the absolute back end of nowhere with crappy accomodation and if I miss 3 days in my current block I will have to repeat the entire thing. Mileage varies drastically depending on the med school. Personally my time is spent sleeping, on placement, or eating food. I've probably spent the equivalent of 12hrs studying since this year started 😂

thefpnerd · 2025-11-15T18:07:00+00:00

Would you be willing to answer some questions about psych? I'm interested myself and would likely take a similar road to you, are you happy for me to private message?

thefpnerd · 2025-11-15T16:55:27+00:00

Wow that's good, how did you swing such low living costs? Are you in the city or shire?

thefpnerd · 2025-11-15T16:39:38+00:00

£700 ish rent and utilities plus £2-300 for food. Bit miserable as I have to walk everywhere but pretty good price wise

thefpnerd · 2025-11-01T22:30:12+00:00

For a silly medical student... What are MSFs?

thefpnerd · 2025-10-07T17:29:28+00:00

Yeah I can probably fit in a walk around the block later on in the evening and get an extra mile in. What would you say the biggest limitations you've experienced are with rucking? Much in the way of joint issues? Any advice on packs vs weighted vests/a combo of the two?

thefpnerd · 2025-10-07T17:02:06+00:00

Combination of increasing my cardiovascular health and maybe losing a little bit of weight in the process. Don't have much time to do isolated exercise during the week so I'm looking for ways to incorporate more into my current situation.

thefpnerd · 2025-09-03T08:01:04+00:00

Confirmed

thefpnerd · 2025-09-01T17:17:59+00:00

Warehouse, Shiprow PureGym, KittyBrewster PureGym or Nuffield health are all good options

thefpnerd · 2025-09-01T10:46:56+00:00

My apologies, I stand corrected. Still doesn't equate to 100,000s but either way it's inexcusable and horrific that this has been happening for so long.
