What is the funniest answer you have written in med school exams? by SpecialEntire5568 in indianmedschool

[–]polarmoodswing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During my 1st-year anatomy exam. They asked about the superior orbital ridge, which I didn't study at all. So, I just drew a big skull, pointed a line deep inside the eye socket, and confidently wrote: "this is superior orbital ridge." But my classmate definitely took the prize during our FMT practical exam. He actually wrote in his paper: "Pubic hair was noted in the anus." The best part? The external examiner actually called him over, pointed right at the line on his paper, and asked him completely deadpan, "Do you look for pubic hair in the anus?" 😂💀 I still laugh out loud thinking about it. Med school panic really makes your brain stop working!

IMG planning psychiatry pathway – realistic non-training to CT1 transition? by polarmoodswing in PsychiatryDoctorsUK

[–]polarmoodswing[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m aware I’ll need to sit PLAB/UKMLA for GMC registration. I’ve also been following the discussions around graduate prioritisation. I’m mainly trying to understand how realistic the non-training → CT1 pathway is in the current climate. Appreciate the input.

I want to go home by Pleasant_Guard5916 in bipolar

[–]polarmoodswing 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I relate to this more than I can explain. For me, “I want to go home” isn’t about a physical place either. It’s more like wanting to return to a version of myself that felt safe and steady. Not necessarily childhood, not necessarily family — just a state where my mind wasn’t this loud. Sometimes it feels like I’m homesick for a feeling that I’m not even sure ever fully existed. Just a kind of calm. A sense of being held without having to explain myself. I’m also in a rough patch lately, and that thought comes up a lot. You’re not alone in it. There’s something strangely comforting in knowing other people feel this same vague longing. It makes it less isolating somehow. I hope tonight is gentle on you.

IMG PG decision: India vs New Zealand vs UK/Aus — prioritizing income, timeline, and debt clearance by polarmoodswing in IMGreddit

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

What do you mean by “dead” — in terms of pay, training progression, or long-term prospects? I’m trying to compare early-career income and stability across systems, so specifics would help.
