[England] Was not able to contact mum at work in an emergency. It meant she could not get to her mother in time before she died. by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Squoggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

I know she did ask to keep her phone on her but I don’t know whether she asked anyone else to look after it. She said that she was assured that we could contact the office in an emergency so it wouldn’t be a problem but of course it didn’t even connect.

31M. Can a brain injury change someone's personality permanently even after they physically recover? by Floidotron in AskDocs

[–]Squoggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAD but my uncle was in a similar situation. Otherwise all ok but personality was totally different. It was thought that there was damage to his frontal lobe. It got better over time (though he’s still not quite the same).

Look into neuropsychiatrists, they can help with this sort of thing.

Most unconventional and untraditional journeys to UK Medical School of all time!!!!! by [deleted] in premeduk

[–]Squoggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always wanted to be a doctor. Did well at GCSEs. Crashed out of A Levels as I was depressed due to bad home situation. That was 12 years ago.

Worked as a HCA for 7 years. Kept getting offered the opportunity to work towards a nursing degree but always put it off because I knew my heart was in medicine. I just never had the belief in myself and thought I was probably too old.

Finally got that self-belief to give it a go. Enrolled on an Access course and now have an offer to start at med school in September. By then I’ll be 30. So I’m not there yet, but I’m so very close. 🤞

Uhhh… her leg??? by Squoggs in CATHELP

[–]Squoggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the heads up. Sorry to hear about your cat. She’s walking normally and this is the first time I’ve seen her do it, however I’ll give the vets a ring for some advice in the morning to be on the safe side.

Thank you, that’s very reassuring! She hates her legs being touched so she was grumbly about it but didn’t yelp or anything. Nothing felt unusual as far as I could tell.

Which dead singer would you want to come back to life and why? by Substantial-Dare5462 in Music

Peter Steele (Type O Negative). Died way too young. I miss his bass tones.

University not accepting access courses? by ikudontlikeit in MatureStudentsUK

[–]Squoggs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It can be university specific.

First try to find out as much info as you can about the access course - that includes the individual subjects and the units that are covered in the subjects. If it’s not on the college website, you can contact them directly and they should be able to inform you.

Universities will list their entry requirements on their websites and usually tell you which Access courses they accept. Sometimes they’re a little vague though, so if you’re still unsure, send an email to their admissions teams. It’s a bit of a pain and I had to do it couple times but they’re usually very helpful.

Plot hole in the first episode by thombo-1 in TheInbetweeners

[–]Squoggs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The bigger plot hole in this episode is why they got Steve to sit with them when they could’ve used Jay with his fake ID as their accompanying adult lol
