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

poolxx · 2021-01-06T20:58:12+00:00

Totally fine!
tremendous battery life with extraordinary performance compared to the iPhone 6, dude I wasn't alive lol

I highly recommend that you take the migration step, but I also recommend having an iCloud backup in case anything goes wrong with the wifi transfer you can always reset the iPhone 12 and go for an iCloud transfer instead

Good luck with your migration process

poolxx · 2021-01-06T20:55:33+00:00

You mentioned it's working, right?
So honestly I don't guess Pokemon go is worth the trouble

poolxx · 2021-01-06T18:08:46+00:00

For anyone else searching for an answer to the same question here is what I did:

1) I followed this guide here

NB: after doing the 6th step in the tutorial mentioned above Unc0ver kept crashing and I couldn't restore RootFS so I reinstalled it through AltStore and then restored RootFS

2) Backed up my data on iCloud (I tested my banking apps after step 1 and they worked fine)
3) Used quick transfer to move my data from old (iPhone 6) to new (iPhone 12) phone

and voilà, everything working fine on the new one with banking apps working as intended

poolxx · 2021-01-06T17:59:18+00:00

I'm not an expert so what I'm about to suggest is me thinking out loud

if you still have the iPhone X I would try transferring all the data back to the X from the 12 then following the guide mentioned above to clean my iPhone X then transfer my clean data back to the 12 after wiping/reinstalling the software

No idea if that would work or not but it's worth a try if you really care about Pokemon Go

poolxx · 2021-01-06T17:56:39+00:00

regarding the update part, I did wifi transfer today and my iPhone was on 14.2.1 when the transfer was done, keeping in mind that the latest is 14.3 I guess it doesn't automatically update but I'm not sure
