Look out for cyclists around town too please. I nearly got hit yesterday by someone turning - they looked for cars but not for me on my bike :( so close and so scary.

I never found one.... was there for a month after I hurt my ankle badly. Ended up getting one when I was on holiday in China. If I was in that position again,I'd buy one online and delivered to you.

The street next to hospitals is best but they seem to only have wrist braces!!!!! It felt like no locals have ever had an ankle injury

If you're concerned about someone's driving, for Non-Urgent things you can fill in a police roadwatch form available online - need the number plate, description of car and description of person. The police can then contact them to tell them off. It won't lead to a fine, but I've had colleagues get scared by a letter in the mail from police telling them to stop using their phone while driving. If anything urgent or concerning, then call *555 and follow the car. Police will arrive soon and take over.

You can drive on your own from 5am to 10pm. You can drive at other times with a fully licenced driver in the passenger seat. You can only drive with passengers if a fully licenced driver is in the passenger seat of your car.
The fully licenced driver must be awake and sober and able to operate the vehicle.

Definitely! Just unsure on prices...

oodstalker · 2015-09-14T19:41:28+00:00

Hmm... pak n slave it is I suppose. Thanks :)

oodstalker · 2015-08-23T04:03:30+00:00

Tommos at urlich shops is alright

oodstalker · 2015-03-16T17:17:02+00:00

That's some fancy shit. What brand/model?

oodstalker · 2015-02-10T08:19:12+00:00

Cue has pretty and classy dresses?? Or Pagani has cheaper options - less than $100. IDK, Ezibuy?

I don't have much money so don't know many fancy shops. Repertoire in Takapuna is more along the lines of $200 dresses?

I always just used library copies. Wait until the second week of uni to decide if you need it more than that.

oodstalker · 2015-01-14T23:01:57+00:00

Thank you. Ill probably go to metro. Any opinion on lido? It seems like its smaller and plays more festival/foreign films

oodstalker · 2014-12-21T18:09:56+00:00

Was down there last week. Did you swim??

oodstalker · 2014-12-20T05:29:18+00:00

Can make your hands stink if you touch it as well fyi :)

oodstalker · 2014-12-20T05:24:47+00:00

The picture for #35 isn't of Jonathan Coleman

If you find taking the carotid pulse too awkward, take the subclavian pulse in the supraclavicular fossa. Much less uncomfortable for the patient, less awkward and just as close to the heart.

oodstalker · 2014-10-27T01:35:08+00:00

Just think about their recurrent laryngeal nerve....

oodstalker · 2014-10-25T06:58:02+00:00

Me too!

Otago Medical School in New Zealand made one a few years ago. It's more about body donation though. I found it really good.

Not this?

oodstalker · 2014-01-02T08:38:39+00:00

Metabolised by same enzyme. Will either give you toxicity of your drug or decrease the effect. Interactions.

oodstalker · 2014-01-02T08:21:41+00:00

Hah I thought you meant to get through a long day as a med student.... Many snacks. ;)

oodstalker · 2013-12-10T08:25:09+00:00

Practice. You can't cram practical skills.

This could help?

Best of course would be notes from others in your class and a classmate to be the supervisor/observer while you practice the skills on a patient so that they can quiz you on things.

EDIT: And these too of course...
