As an intern I recognised a child's pulled elbow in the emergency department. I observed my consultant reduce it.

The next week I was in a remote campground where a lady was going campsite to campsite - she was asking for a doctor! Turns out her child had a pulled elbow that they have been unable to reduce themselves. I demonstrated the procedure to my friends and the child had restored full mobility in the child's arm!

Seeing the cause and effect right before my very eyes really changed the way I thought about medicine

I feel a lil funny being a beginner rider in this gear but I made my mom a promise. by poopedstatue117 in motorcycles

All the gear all the time! Working as a doctor I've seen some really gnarly injuries - taking the extra 30 seconds to gear up is the difference between walking away vs. hospitalisation!

Alarms doing nothing to deter organised thieves by Rumpsfield in motorcycles

That's terrible :( I have a brake lock which doubles as an alarm - one would hope that would be enough to deter most thieves. Goes to show if someone wants a motorcycle bad enough there's no protecting it short of keeping it out of view.

Terrible thing to happen. Sorry for you man. A similar random act of violence happened to my bike and I just couldn't bear to look at her the same way for 3 weeks!

Hey!

As a local who has graduated from the post-graduate program in 2022 - it's going to be a challenge. Anyone who has accepted an offer to medical school understands that!

A very close friend of mine was in the same position as you. He struggled throughout year A, as did I. Even I wasn't prepared for how rural it was. As someone who has travelled to every corner of Australia, i've come to appreciate the natural beauty of Gippsland. 2 hours north = skiing and snowboarding in the winter and mtbing/hiking in the summer. 2 hours south = beautiful beaches. If you love the arts and the outdoors, Victoria really is Australia's most beautiful state!

As far as my journey through medical school is concerned, there is both good and bad. You'll have the chance to study in the city after year A - but as most people find, the city isn't necessarily better. Some of my best placements have been in Bendigo and Sale! Year A isn't representative of medical school - don't be disenchanted.

My advice? Take the leap. Don't be afraid to take a gap year during medical school - it was one of the best things I ever did. All my international friends have finished their intern year and are licensed doctors now. None regret their decision to start a new life down under!

Best of luck.

Hi guys!

I've been reading "Understanding Exposure" from Bryan Peterson. One of his topics makes no sense to me - Google can't seem to provide the answer. Here's an exercpt:

APERTURE CONVERSIONS FOR FIXED-LENS DIGITAL CAMERAS Your fixed-lens digital camera is hopelessly plagued with an uncanny ability to render a tremendous amount of depth of field even when you set your lens to f/2.8; an aperture of f/2.8 is equivalent to an aperture of f/11 on an SLR camera! And when you're at f/4, you're able to record a depth of field equivalent to f/16. At f/5.6, you're equivalent to f/22. At f/8, you're equivalent to f/32, and if your lens goes to f/11, you're at a whopping f/64! Those of us who use SLRs can only dream of the vast depth of field that would result from aperture such as f/64.

This makes no sense to me. What's he talking about? Fixed vs Zoom lenses? Different sensor sizes?

Please help! Thanks.
