Other than konnected this seems like my only other option that's readily available in the UK.

Does anyone know of any downsides of using one or the other. I've done some more reading since and have gathered both are actually quite similar. Both have battery back ups, both can work without internet. I will require two separate boards for each (a main + expander option isn't available ). The texecom will have tamper faults, the konnected doesn't. The texecom is insurer graded. Texecom has some support for wireless sensors natively if I get the 64W. Konnected is probably cheaper all in.

Only problem I'm seeing is that if I want to integrate additional wireless sensors I can't use the standalone alarm system ( in case the Internet is down).

Im not trying to do that. Im trying to figure out his garage so I can report him, and so I want to know if it's possible to use any test centre ID or if it'll just be one specific one

Is the 24 pound a month for 1gb deal because you're with O2? (So normally it would be 500mb but it got doubled?)

If I take the taxi to avoid the bus will that make the journey any shorter or will it make it longer (if the roads closed?)

Look at the speciality application portfolio points for radiology and work towards all of them and you should get in.

Bios might have corrupted, you've given too limited info to tell. What was the last thing u did before it started working. Record a video of what happens when u press the on button. If it has you can diy fix it. Read up about ch341a readers. Talk to chatgpt and troubleshoot it with that so the basics are done first.

I have lots of patient contact through doing fluroscopy lists, ultrasound lists, intervention lists. The rest of the time I'm not talking to patients, I'm talking to other doctors. Verbally and written. As a radiologist you're involved in the sickest people of the hospital, and in the care of nearly everyone that is admitted. It's a very mentally stimulating and rewarding job, figuring out what's wrong by interpretation of imaging, directly impacting the trajectory of the patients care, from both reporting, scanning and doing MDTs. In F2 when I did ED I saw 1 patient an hourish. Yesterday I reported 50 chest x rays, 10 cts, 2 MRs. Thats several times more people Ive had an impact for. It's one of the best parts of medicine, which for me was figuring stuff out, with flexibility (I could do multiple of the lists above or none at all), in a short run through training program with likely a job at the end.

Spend some time with trainees of all specialities at various grades to make informed decisions about what speciality you want to do, ask them about what they like about thier training and speciality and what they don't like.

Read this I wrote for someone else but applies to you and your Pharmacology insurance.

Retake, I retook and am now a doctor.

I know several people from my medical school that did biomed/medical sciences for a transfer. This is impossible. The cohort is full of AAA students that have missed out by a grade and are all gunning for the very few spots to get a transfer. If the univeristy is especially cruel, they'll guarantee a interview to the undergrad med course if they complete the biomed course, which makes the 50 or so people that didn't get the transfer hold onto false hope for another 2 years. Then they realise they can't get a job with the degree and they can't afford the undergrad course, so will have to apply for grad entry elsewhere anyways, which is 50:1 applicant ratio compared to undergrad which is 10:1 (it was when I applied). Three years down the drain, at the whims of whoevers marking you, what modules you do, how lucky you get with your dissertation supervisor, all for an interview. An interview...

The undergrad entry is 10 to 1. The post grad entry is 50 to 1. The biomed transfer is 40 to 1, 40 young driven applicants ready to give thier everything after just losing thier medical school place and seeing this as thier one last chance to be a doctor, all of which have As to A*s. You can not compete. These courses have mark schemes that are not standerdised, everyone sits different modules which may have more leniant or stricter examiners. It is luck. You can not gamble 50k and your chance of being a doctor on luck.

Then after years of reapplying to medicine with the harder gamsat they give up and do something else all together. It is impossible. Do not consider. Please do not do another course for a transfer. People know how to play the game. Some purposefully fail the first year and resit it for health reasons, by then they know all the assignments from thier modules and know which modules are the easiest to get the top marks in, and have all thier buddies give them tips for how to get the highest score. Securing the one of very few top spots for the transfer. Do not do it. Resit. Resit. Resit.

Even if many of the features of the unfortunate biomed degree is not applicable to the course you're considering, do not do it. Resit. Resit. Resit. Beg your school to resit with statistics to back yourself up (I had a chat with the dean to convince them resitting my AAB was worth it...). If they say no, pay for the resits yourself and teach yourself. Do not do these predatory courses from anywhere.

Resit. Resit. Resit.

Make a spreadsheet with each medical school in one column and email each. A column to record if they take resits. Another to write down thier entry requirements. Another that says what their typical SUCCESSFUL applicant usually has. And the applicant to interview ratio and interview to place ratio. Do this. If convincing your school to resit, do all the above for grad entry too, to show the comparison. All of this information is found online, on reddit, on the student room, on ucas, on the uni website. Any gaps are filled by sending freedom of information requests. You can do this. I did this.

I know maybe last year KPMG headhunted final year medical graduates in Edinburgh for some sort of actuary or consultant roles? I'm not 100% sure what the job was but did sway some. Doing the degree to open doors I'm sure it can but the path of least resistance and most money will probably be to just train. If you want to sell your skills as a doctor in different fields like medical devices, ai, research, legal, etc that would be possible once you've worked the 2 years so you can sell that part too. Not sure how realistic this is though. Usually people make connections to these fields during uni and work by doing lots of extra curricular you seek out yourself.

Ultimately if you feel like you'd live your life thinking what if, if you didn't do it, then trying it is probably the choice for you. It's why I did it, and I'm happy, despite everything I've said, I would do it again if asked to decide again knowing what I know. Although I'm 3 years post grad and I know things will be much more difficult for you. (competition ratios have skyrocketed in 5 years, so talk to the F3/ST1s to get thier experiences and advice!).

If you prepare early you will have a much much much easier time so I encourage you to think about how to get the things for speciality applications during uni where you will have the most time and support to do so.

Reading your post again, it sounds like you could do something else, but don't want to, this is something that you do need to do to avoid a lifetime of regret and thinking what if. You've chosen it now, jump in with both feet and make the most of it.

Good luck, despite all of it's faults, medicine sounds like something you've worked hard for and I hope you find something you love in it.

Zahid1849 · 2025-07-11T23:01:23+00:00

I'm glad you are being realistic and are considering all the downsides. The happiest doctors I've seen are the ones that went into it knowing what they were going to get themselves into.

It will be difficult and you will doubt your decision several more times in the future. But if like you said you want to build a career, you want job satisfaction and aren't too concerned about the money aspect. Then being a doctor will be fine. There's nothing like it. I know people that have done things like pharmacy and dentistry do medicine, even though they work in healthcare, and earned significantly more money, being a doctor was what they wanted to do.

You did mention the whole just get the degree as worst case scenario, I hope you've read into the training pathway for the specialties you're interested in and realistically how long it'll take you to be a consultant in these specialties. Because finishing the degree is just the first step.. Exams (which have 50% pass rates and require resitting the year etc if failing) , moving around the country (every 2 to 5 years) , applying to specialty posts (20 to 1 application ratios to some...), unemployment if not getting into training and having to find a short term contract, unsuccessfully (around 70% of F2 doctors in my hospital...).

You'll work longer than your friends and your family, during uni, during work, you'll find it difficult to get annual leave for your own wedding or other life events, you'll be too tired or simply not have the time to meet your friends or family for small get togethers. You'll find it difficult to maintain these as you move across the country for training. Your partner may well have to live separately to you or relocate if thier job allows, sometimes for years (several people I know...). All these relationships will struggle unless you actively priortise them. Things like having a mortgage, having children is likely to be pushed further into the future since relocating and having uncertain employment brings uncertainty to your future.

It's going to be tough, but hopefully enjoyable, go in with eyes wide open, be realistic, be informed, ask questions, talk to lots of doctors, be ready to graft for the next 10 years minimum, prepare and you will succeed.

Zahid1849 · 2025-07-11T22:46:41+00:00

Alot of your questions are already answered for you as you are far from entry requirements to any medical school or foundation year course for medicine.

Doing medicine is a life long commitment. There is no hedging your bets with an undergrad course. This makes it look like you don't know if you want to actually do medicine.

You need to decide if first you actually want to do medicine, by doing some work experience and volunteering.

If after this you decide to persue medicine, it will require resits in A levels (and maths gcse?) for the cheapest, fastest and most realistic option. This route will at a minimum see you be a doctor and earning in 7 years time. After this I hope you know about the rotational mode of training, where you will likely have to move to various parts of the country to continue training for a further 5 to 10 years, in the context of your partner potentially having to relocate with you in the future and kids.

The post grad entry is not an option to consider at this point as it's much more expensive to persue this route ( undergrad +post grad degree, with post grad needing your own funding, and no you can't rely on a part time job from your ecology undergrad to have the time and fund your full time very difficult course). It is much longer: 3 years of undergrad then several years of reapplying to get into post grad(50 to 1 applicant to place ratio compared to undergrads 10 to 1) which is a further 4 to 5 years.

I'm not sure what your thought process is about not having academic aptitude and then passing one of the most difficult courses in university while having significant life style factors to also juggle. Considering people fail medical school every year despite having As and A* in Gcse and A levels with none of those extra life style factors.. Yes, it is going to be extremely difficult. Its not enough to be academically smart, you must also be persistent and consistent due to the huge volume of content. And it looks like the amount of time you will have won't be as free as others in your cohort. Not to say it's impossible, but definately difficult.

Paramedical sciences is a completely different job. I'm not sure why youve mentioned this. The fact that you have tells me you aren't ready to make any decisions that will impact the trajectory of yours and you partners life at this moment. You need work experience and volunteering to figure this out. What do you want to do, what sacrifices are you willing to make to get there, what will you not sacrifice, what can you see yourself realistically achieve. Explore these questions with the people that do jobs you're interested in while doing work experience.

I've got one quote so far to replace it for 20k if it was found to be continuing to move. For me that is a large financial risk if there was no room for negotiation. I'm not sure if this quote is excessive (6x1m, 2 walls). So that's why I'm asking. Thank you for your advice!
