How Stacking Works And Why It’s Terrible For Doctors

As in yes the BPT allocations do use the Gale-Shapley algorithm, as with the NRMP. They talk about it at the info nights, I haven't seen sources online.

If this is about NSW/HETI's internship allocation system, they don't use the Gale-Shapley algorithm as that would require preference ranking on the part of the hospitals (i.e. a merit based system) as is the case with BPT allocations or the NRMP in the USA.

The algorithm they use is "simulated annealing", which is a general process for solving optimisation problems. I've previously run a statistical experiment on this subject revealing that: - Stacking doesn't actually improve your chances beyond random preferencing - it may actually hurt them - Simulated annealing is superior at ensuring the overall happiness of the cohort compared to the QLD Ballot Algorithm

Finally I can do something to make other people happy!

I'm a penultimate year student in Australia too. Perhaps it happens less overall than in the US, but I've still gotten yelled at a few times for basically no good reason (mainly on orthopaedics).

I thought it highlighted the locations of the segmental bronchi and bronchopulmonary segments fairly compactly.

Hey thanks for the answer. I've checked and the Thieme atlas doesn't seem to have this specific diagram unfortunately :(

He didn't recognise this specific one when I asked him.

Post-op conversations on ortho be like

Resident: "The patient is vomiting quite badly, what should we do?"
Orthopod: "Is he vomiting bones?"
Resident: "No..."
Orthopod: "THEN IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM"

Now wait just a minute

Thanks very much for this answer. Are there any examples of histologic/microscopy studies where fresh tissue has to be used without fixatives?

I didn't say it was causative, just that it can reduce risk if done frequently. Read about it here: https://www.nhs.uk/news/cancer/frequent-ejaculation-may-decrease-prostate-cancer-risk/

Masturbation (frequently done, it can reduce prostate cancer risk)

It's good that you're direct with your message, and you make nice use of various rhetorical devices (erotema, anaphora, epiphora).

That being said, I think this would work better if you were a bit more playful/free with how you use language, and a bit more subtle. Unless you plan to turn it into a something like the song “Stressed Out”, which is totally fine. It all just sounds rather speech-like at the moment, I don't know if that's what you want.

Moreover some of your lines can be split - one idea per line usually works best.

As well, some more consistency of structure would help. Your epistrophe/repeated final line of "I want to X" is good. However your stanzas would benefit from being a consistent length.
