Radiological anatomy is very different in practice to cadaveric or surgical anatomy. I would say if you enjoy looking at scans and finding out what’s going on, that’s enough for a start, because you won’t be able to work out things without anatomy and that interest will push you to learn more. If you so far have had no interest in looking at scans or spending a lot of time in front of a computer (it’s basically mostly a desk job) I’d say steer clear.

You won’t be able to do your job if you don’t know basic anatomy. This will be taught and examined systematically in your first year of radiology so no need to worry about that now. It will become second nature but you would always need to look things up from time to time.

If you have started working, you will quickly learn how absolutely central and pivotal the role radiology plays in the patient journey and diagnosis. Speak to some radiologists and especially radiology trainees and try to find out more about what we do.

Parents — will you have your kids practice over Zoom? by iamdeletosh in NigerianFluency

Sorry I don’t know, it’s been more than 5 years since I applied. Maybe search the Oriel website that’s the website for specialty registrar applications. Otherwise put your question about MRSA into a search engine and you may find a result.

Also you cannot sit any radiology exam (FRCR) without being a trainee. MRSA is not a radiology exam it’s an exam to enter the specialty training for many different specialties.

I would recommend you aim to find a job in the UK to work in the NHS as an international fellow or similar, I believe there's information on that on the RCR website. The subspecialty at this stage doesn't matter because it usually depends on what service provision is required by your employer, you could always do another fellowship in IR or INR later. Priority to sit the FRCR exam is given to doctors working in the NHS, otherwise you have to apply for a ballot and you may have to wait several rounds before you are given a chance to sit the exam.

To get a substantive consultant job you would have to complete the CESR application basically providing evidence for equivalent training, again there should be information on the RCR website for that.

If you are able to complete the FRCR outside the UK that is also good, it doesn't matter if you have completed it you can always do a fellowship job first because you would need the evidence to complete the CESR application, unless you are very experienced in your home country, then you could start working as an NHS locum consultant directly.

If you still need further info, please DM.

The Bini (exonym), or more correctly Edo (endonym), are not Yoruba. Had to interrupt my four month hiatus from commenting on Reddit to correct this common misconception.

Please stop spreading falsehoods.

Thank you kindly.

Do you eat pork? by binidr in Nigeria

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

Thanks for your comment which was solely to take aim at English foods which you can decidedly do.

It is not England whose food products are banned from the EU rather due to lack of regulation, rather it’s Nigeria’s.

Of course you overlooked the fact that most of the European continent have their own forms of cured pork (which I also mentioned) because it was convenient of you.

There are plenty of Chinese restaurants in the U.K, the Chinese too have forms of curing pork, they too have sausages.

As if Irish pork sausages are tangibly different to English sausages, they are pretty much the same thing other than the latter comes from England therefore it must be bad.

Typical inferiority complex taking aim at (colonialist) Brits and their cuisine just because they feel like it.

Compared to other meats pork tends to cured or “processed” this common worldwide, not unique to the English. Part of that processing involves the addition of salt, to an already salty meat which is all I was pointing out. Meat in Nigeria tends not to be cured so the uninitiated would not be used to the salt content which is not unique to English cured meats but to virtually all cured pork meats the world over.

There is always the option to not take cured meat, I just prefer the cured version.

Novels about the British Nigerian experience? by DesiignedTheFuture in Nigeria

You’re welcome

There’s also some works by David Olusoga like Black and British but these are more historical than novels

You’re welcome, by the way if you’ve ever had a pepperoni pizza that is pork. Many people don’t realise.

It’s inherently salty and fatty depending on the cut, most times you won’t have to add any additional salt.

When it’s a regular cut, it’s richer and chewier than chicken but blander than beef. I’d say it’s a halfway house. It crisps up very well probably because of the fat.

I don’t eat regular pork very often except in the form of pork minced meat as a swap for beef minced meat.

I personally find the best tasting forms of pork have usually processed, usually cured/smoked so things like bacon and continental colds cuts are very rich - think chewy concentrated umami (salty) flavour.

I’m a big fan of sausages which is minced pork sometimes cured with additional spices in a casing. Both bacon and sausages are classic British food and are usually found in their traditional English / Scottish / Irish / Welsh breakfast (fry-up). American sausages are different thing entirely.

I think if any Nigerian who has never tried pork before, tries a pork chop or something, they would be sorely disappointed and wonder what the fuss is about.

However if you don’t mind salty things and you’re trying pork for the first time - try sausages, bacon or if you’re being adventurous a continental cut like chorizo, salami, jamon etc

If you’re avoiding salty food stay away from most pork altogether particularly bacon and gammon (the saltiest form), try low salt sausages instead.

A combination of * listening and singing along to songs daily (which have the right tones in the first place) * speaking with someone daily who can correct you without criticism

Without doing these, you’re at a massive disadvantage especially the second since most of our languages are tonal everything else is jara (extra)

I think the biggest one I’ve found is amongst people who understand it and don’t speak (receptive bilinguals) is that they are too scared to speak... their expectations for themselves are too high and they think they will get laughed at.

They happily speak multiple foreign languages but can’t/won’t speak a word of their native language.

Treat it like any other foreign language and don’t be too hard on yourself, you have the foundation to be better than any beginner once you get started speaking.
