Don't worry. I highly doubt they will discriminate you based on your weight alone. However you might want to lose a bit of weight. It can be quite ironic in the future if you advise patient who is in a high risk group of developing IHD if you yourself are overweight to begin with. Another incentive or curse for being a doctor. You will be constantly being judge by the public in term of image since the public always view the doctor as someone who should know better when it comes to health.

True. Recently, I saw some patients talking bad about a fat indian doctor in SJMC behind his back after he left. The conversation was in Hokkien and it goes something like this (direct translation):

Patient A: He know or don't know one? Ask me reduce my weight but he ownself so fat. If so serious, he early already reduce lah. What a hypocrite.
Patient's friend: Ya loh.

hey siang, being obese means u r very likely to have high bp, blood glucose and lipid level. But dun worry, u r still too young to have any medical problems. so now the priority is really to reduce ur weight. try to do it slowly, mabbe lose 1kg each month, so by the time u become an HO, u will have an ideal weight and muscular body to show off arnd in the hospital.

this is a very long commitment, just like ur medical education, so must start off slowly and be determined enough. I believe u can do it man!

hey guys.. im interested in taking foundation in science at aimst. but the recent news about aimst is not tat assuring..

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...1747&sec=nation

will there be a problem for the students to continue studying?
what do you guys think about it ?
and how's the pharmacy students doing?? are they gonna get recognition from the board of pharmacy?
thanks for reading and please please answer my question

havent got recognition by the boards yet...the LAN people did come before the CNY...so i guess it's in the process...

Im stpm leaver but I decided to do foundation in science first before doing medicine,in order to secure a place in aimst if i rejected by any medical school la.So,I think that should be no problems.That news is nothing to do with the quality of aimst but about "makan makan makan "of construction fees of aimst new campus in semeling.As limeuu and csrulez say before and I heard from my senior from UKM.The Pharmacy board "must"recognised the degree from every local Uni as long as their pioneer batch graduated ,don't care how lousy the student come out or quality of school.But,aimst actually,no need to worry la....because the things i heard about this uni is quite positive and the comments about the quality from public is quite good la.

No point doing the foundation again if you've finished stpm with excellent results. It's a waste of time. Don't be afraid to apply.

Im not very confident in my official result,the real stpm is more more more difficult than the trial one.Haiz........if I get A Bio,B+Che and B+math,is there any chances?Im not very sure,but I think my result shouldn't like this lo.This is my worst expectation.Before exam,I think should be no problem to get a4.0 for my stpm but now,only can hope for it.

if that's the worse u can expect, then don't worry...there are 120 places annually

but in any case if you're still worried, just sit thru the foundation course lah...should be a peace of cake since you've been thru stpm...

this is coz stpm results should be around april? the mbbs intake is in september...and if u get 3.92..straight apply for UMS or UNIMAS lah =)

thanks

if you have above 3.8, and put ums or unimas as 1st choice, you stand a good chance.......this is proven in recent intake batches.......

Thank you!Hopefully,my result can really help me at least enter IPTA(UMS or UNIMAS) or aimst.

come aimst lah... ;-D
MBBS siang.. ur results is stpm results or wat wor... ?

I think u only saw the tip of the iceberg, there are many more rejects out there who got the same results and put Unimas/UMS as their 1st choice. so there's a slim chance someone wif 3.83/4 will get into medicine.

i wouldn't be surprised, but there are quite a few sub-4.0 around, and i know they only look at those who put unimas as 1st choice in the first round.......

my point is, if one is sub-4.0, it is better to just opt for the lower rank schools, rather than try um/ukm as top choices, and NOT getting anything at all in the end........

official result not yet out.But the trial i got 3.92 but i think that may not be my real result in STPM,the actual exam is too difficult as compared with trial,only can hope for it.So,If i luckily get the admission of aimst (ipta will better because cheaper),you will be my school mate but if I failed and do foundation,then you will be my senior lo.Haha....
