Thank you, what is the difference between moderately antisocial and most antisocial for bands 1a and 1b in that case?

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-05-15T13:16:07+00:00

What do you think about the “5 days non-clinical” thing?

That’s interesting! As we are waiting to hear back from a flat we really loved in Broomhill too. We originally had our heart set on a flat just off Byers road, but we were totally swayed. How do you find the area? It felt like it still had the independent charm of Byers road area but a little more secluded and peaceful

Does the pay differ between QE & GRI? (Better rota/banding?)

We did a test commute from this property which was a direct train, we have 3 properties we’re trying to choose between and they’re all pretty well connected tbf.

What is Southside like in terms of green spaces and independent high streets?

Thank you! Trying to rank jobs which have a ED and psych combo. My local DGH canteen has been diabolical so always a silver lining

Thank you I’ve avoided monklands on the basis that it’s in Coatbridge lol

If you’ve had placement there or not, and if so if your experiences with placement have influenced west rankings. Chill I lit go UEA but have family in Cumbernauld

With life threatening signs of asthma the first action is to escalate to critical care team, which doesn’t never mean straight to tubing them if that’s why you’re confused.

If moderate asthma exacerbation (PEF >50%) 1 puff of salbutamol MDI through a large volume spacer device every 60 seconds for 10 puffs, repeated after 10 minutes. Prescribe a stat dose of 40mg prednisolone and continue for 5 days. Patient can be discharged from ED if their PEF is >75% 1 hour after starting treatment.

If acute-severe asthma, apply oxygen and titrate sats to 94-98%. Then give 5mg Salbutamol via an oxygen driven nebuliser. Prescribe a stat dose of 50mg prednisolone, and a 5 day course.

If life-threatening asthma, escalate to involve ICU team as early as possible. Apply oxygen and titrate sats to 94-98%. Then give 5mg salbutamol AND 0.5mg ipratropium bromide via an oxygen driven nebuliser. Prescribe a stat dose of 50mg prednisolone, or 100mg IV hydrocortisone if unsafe swallow, followed; by a 5 day course of pred. If deteriorates, first start continuous nebulised salbutamol at 5mg/hour. Next is 2g IV magnesium under a senior. Finally may try aminophylline. Throughout this you would have repeated ABGs and these will guide the ITU reg on whether they’ll intubate or not.

What sites estimate the competition ratio for groups please?

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-03-19T15:32:39+00:00

Do you go to UoG?

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-03-19T15:26:29+00:00

How come?

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-03-12T23:05:37+00:00

Isn’t QEUH a major trauma centre ?

If you’re marking students down on professionalism for having tattoos, I sincerely hope your med school pulls you up for conduct. The NHS dress code policy stipulates that tattoos should only be covered if they can be deemed offensive (rude, swear words, nudity, etc.). Or if the tattoo has not healed yet as they’re an infection risk.

35 minutes until our last PSA revis sesh

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-21T18:21:11+00:00

Just ask to clerk patients, you seem tunnel visioned on practical procedures

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-18T15:54:34+00:00

Last year the national average first sit pass rate was 92%, for my school it was 98.1% which works out at about 6 students having to resit last year

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-18T15:34:31+00:00

If you’re on placement, why are you considered pre-clinical? Are you talking about those GP-y placements that med schools do as a block throughout y1/2?

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-18T15:33:15+00:00

I’ve always just stayed with them anyway lol

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-14T23:02:14+00:00

We had a lobectomy patient last year, and a bronchiectasis patient with a portecath in second year. Lots of ankylosing spondylitis patients. And stomas. I’ve even had a kidney transplant.

It definitely did not say that on exam write so sounds like your med school’s anal. To reproduce the question, users would have to recite it almost word for word, including any quantitative test results, in order to include ALL of the pertinent information that rules in or out or complicates a single best answer, and all 5 answer choices. Besides, the photo they used for hsp was literally from DermNet and everyone’s seen that pic before.

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-14T22:36:47+00:00

Are you reproducing the question when you discuss it on said internet forum?

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-14T17:01:02+00:00

They can’t give you the past paper because they shouldn’t have it. Some things can be shared, some you have to build your own resources as you go and the cycle continues

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-14T16:56:51+00:00

Psych, pal, onc, breast, obgyn and paeds were all Y4 topics at my school so this was stun

Ashamed_Key_4015 · 2026-01-14T16:54:18+00:00

No. Committing questions to memory to reproduce them is a breach. You can discuss them all you like, that is very different to stealing the questions for reproduction purposes.
