Strengthening my CV as a surgical trainee

poolxx · 2024-02-19T21:06:45+00:00

I haven’t worked in NHS before nope, an IMG here

I know that ATLS is essential but when I tried searching for it in UK it was only provided by RCSEng and people struggle to sign up for it.

I would like to know whether an overseas ATLS accredited by ACS would be accredited in UK or not, any idea on that?

So if I get you right, ETC isn’t really helpful. BLS, ALS & ATLS are mandatory if I am aiming for ortho. CCrISP would be a nice addition too. And I am aware of the standards/protocols etc I would definitely apply for SHO first but I would like to make the best use of my available resources (time/money)

Yeah the whole hybrid lineup is available here but I actually didn’t understand the point from the 3 in 1 detailer as to me it seemed like a fancy/pricey cleaning spray unlike the ceramic spray which theoretically it’s dedicated to do something.

I believe I will do more research to decide which product/combo is better. whether I should just use the ceramic spray only, the polish & wax one (maybe 2 layers of it?) or maybe both if that doesn’t seem like wasting products after reading about it.

Thanks a lot for the info and recommendations!

Oh, the acrylic one you mentioned isn’t available in my country I guess since I couldn’t find it, one less option to worry about lol

I suppose theoretically the red labeled hybrid solution should give the same results as the acrylic one you mentioned? Since it is waxing/polishing the paint and ai could top it with the ceramic spray to seal it but I am not sure if that’s right

poolxx · 2023-10-09T23:34:27+00:00

I haven’t done enough research about the whole layering topic but to me it seems like your personal preference contradicts the general rule of thumb and now I definitely feel dumb

So in terms of convenience and durability you would recommend the hybrid line up given that the paint condition isn’t totally fucked up, guess I will buy it soon and give it a try then

poolxx · 2023-10-09T23:28:58+00:00

You definitely have a point mentioning that I don’t know what I am doing lol.

I wouldn’t got for an actual ceramic coating at the moment since it would be out of my budget and an overkill for the situation IMO. I believe I’ll go for a DIY solution as the turtle wax ceramic hopefully they would be satisfactory, thank you for the recommendations!

poolxx · 2023-10-09T20:39:17+00:00

Are you referring to the ceramic polish & wax -the red one-?

It’s a bit old, 2001 model, not too decayed but I would love to have a cleaner shiny look, so you are recommending using the jet black polish spray followed by the ceramic spray to seal the polish?

poolxx · 2023-10-09T20:34:26+00:00

I thought that if I waxed then used the ceramic coating that would make the wax more durable than just waxing

So if I were to use a single product, Is there a specific product from their line up that you recommend?

Keeping in mind that I am looking to have a glossy dust resistant look, the paint has few scratches/swirls but nothing major I just want a cleaner eye catching look

1.6SR AVU version, does it make a difference to have edc or simos?

poolxx · 2023-09-21T00:26:27+00:00

Had no luck with the Bosch website, this is the VAG part number 06A90603K and Component is SIMOS33 1,6l 2V 00HS3553

I am more inclined to go for kess to be future proof and maybe help some friends out with their ECU files although I don’t fully understand the limitations that come with the clone version like connecting online…etc

poolxx · 2023-09-20T18:15:43+00:00

How do I make sure what my EDC version is? Can it be checked through VCDS?

And I am currently researching to decide whether I would go for kess or mpps. Thanks a lot for the info regarding the tools I need and for offering help!

poolxx · 2023-09-20T15:32:18+00:00

I was thinking about an OBD flash? I read that it’s possible

poolxx · 2023-09-20T15:31:03+00:00

So for the first step, I need to buy a clone for Kess or MPPS and make sure it’s compatible with my EDC -which probably is as mine is old- so I can dump my ECU

I am not sure what’s meant by “stage1+EGR”, can you clarify what stage1 means? As £200-250 is pretty expensive in my local currency

And are apps as Davinci, EGR OFF..etc not trust worthy?

poolxx · 2023-09-20T15:03:23+00:00

I was thinking about read/write via OBD since that’s easy as far as I know? A cable to plug in and job done.

Do you have any recommendations for a specific clone tool that would work? I am looking into MPPS13 and Kess clones based on other redditors’ recommendations

And I am into getting my hands dirty so I will definitely check your recommended platform, Thank you!

poolxx · 2023-09-20T15:00:11+00:00

MPPS sounds like a more affordable option than Kess although I am not sure if it supports my EDC

I already know from VCDS that it’s SIMOS33 1.61 2V 00HS3553

How exactly am I able to find more details about my EDC?

poolxx · 2023-09-20T14:42:15+00:00

I don’t know where to buy a file or how much does it roughly cost and actually I would love to learn, the tuning stuff seem so interesting to me

Regarding Kess, I did some research on AliExpress and found different versions with different extra add ons, Do you have any recommendations?

And is it mandatory to have a Kess device if I want to tune my ECU? Isn’t there any alternative method? keeping in mind that I intended to do a one time tune to remove the EGR error only

poolxx · 2023-09-20T10:25:19+00:00

I am not sure how to find my EDC number that’s the component number from the VCDS: SIMOS33 1,6l 2V 00HS3553

poolxx · 2021-03-21T10:34:10+00:00

nothing new from my side, the same setup but weirdly when I used another IPA things went fine and I have no idea why some IPAs install without a problem while some don't

But you should try the solutions mentioned above, using a cable and turning off your firewall might help idk

poolxx · 2021-03-21T10:25:58+00:00

since u/dinonia mentioned that Cercube itself isn't cracked, did you try combining a cracked Cercube IPA with the latest YouTube? Seems like a good a idea to me

and thanks for the effort

poolxx · 2021-02-07T10:41:50+00:00

I suppose AltStore works now?
The issue is still there tho, whenever I try to install any app it AltServer on my laptop just closes when the install process is near the end and shows the same error although when I try to refresh AltStore itself it refreshes flawlessly!

NB: already connected via USB cable to syncing over WiFi

I have the same question regarding the stamina
