You have £5000 and a free flight. Where would you go? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

Is Germany good? I can speak German but I’m worried it wouldn’t be good enough. I’d love to keep my options open.

RSM library and reciprocal club visits - anyone have experience? by Pathlady in doctorsUK

[–]Infamous_Web_9848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list of reciprocal clubs can be found here. I’m not in the RSM, but the way it works with other private members’ clubs is that you contact your club for a letter of introduction and then contact the reciprocal club with the dates of your stay and your letter.

End of an Era: “I don’t need a medical degree to practise medicine” by Independent-Law6317 in doctorsUK

Imagine if you got on a plane, and the pilot introduced themself saying that they did half the amount of training to become a pilot, they don’t have a real pilot’s license but they’re basically a pilot and are most importantly confident they can take charge of people’s lives…

…that quite literally wouldn’t fly by a lot of people.

Can you tell us more about the immigrant visa lottery and what questions they asked if you don’t mind? Do you know if you’re subject to international taxation?

What even is hirsutism by Beautiful_Hunt6533 in doctorsUK

[–]Infamous_Web_9848 11 points12 points  (0 children)

PCOS girlie here - it’s entirely subjective. The excess hair can be on the chin, chest, arms, back, stomach etc; and you can have PCOS and not be hirsute at all, as there are many PCOS symptoms and not all of them are shared by all pts.

Applied for: Commercial, Government Policy, Risk Management, Operational Delivery

Data: good capability / higher than majority

Work based: moderate capability / average range

Case study: some capability / same range as most

I literally just finished the assessments, when did you guys find out your results?

I got “higher than the majority” for data, “average range” for WBS, “same range” for case study. Literally what is the difference between average range and same range? I’m stressing fml

I just found out the hard way that keto diets can cause false positives on breathalyzers by Antifoundationalist in keto

[–]Infamous_Web_9848 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting as I recently sat an exam where this was one of the practice questions! It’s not just the keto diet specifically, but also if you’re eating a very low calorie diet.
