during f6, i got 1 tuition mate who took stpm for 4th times la...he wanted to do medicine but he got some anxiety prob. everytime exam surely got prob like sickness or accident (tats y his both hands got lotz of those blessing manik fr temple)
i really pray hard he is in medic now...

thank you very much for the advise!

ahh.. im feeling tense already.

at first i was so sure, yes im going romania im going romania.. i applied online and all.. now just waiting for money from my parents..

now you all really made me think am i qualify even to be a doctor..

i was reading the first post when i was overwhelmed bout heart vs brain thingy.. cuz i have a good heart.. then half way i jumped to last 30 posts.. then i felt doctors are really really realistics.. its like dreams crashers..

i might not be, ok, i am not good in academic wise but i have real strong passion towards medic. i also dunno why. and i saved.. not lifes.. but just whenever someone is feeling unwell, got cut, or whatever (during camps especially), i will be the one helping them. guess im better off being a nurse huh.. haha.

and during class, i will be the one understood what was teacher talking about.. even good students ask me.. but when it comes to what was the disease call again? im screwed.. yup, i do understand this will be another nono for me to be a doctor.

i will think twice.. whether to be a guinea pig or take another pre u..

ahh.. i copied down the book list though. will try to read and see i will still have interest on it or not.

btw, i will update some progress ya. maybe first guinea pig who succeeds! sorry sorrry.. hehehehe

i will not blame, will not whine, i will live my life without regrets.

is not just DR title.

to me, is much more.

kaiying, gogogo!!

as of now UK allows a foreigner to get the HO years doen, after which they wont allow you to enter post graduate. I think if you're desperate, go marry a local and inherit a UK citizenship just for the sake of getting post grad : )

i have not heard of Australia turning away foreign graduates.

If i'm not wrong, UK graduates who have finished their 2 foundation years are exempted from AMC exam. It was introduced few years back. can't find the link though.

Total tuition fees+hostel+living expenses+flight fare for 6 years+....! Its about RM300k++! Then the agent agree to loan if the money not enough!

not exactly inherit. totally wrong word used in this circumstances. but you know if you do get married to a citizen of another country, automatic citizenship is given to you. so yeah , by hook or by crook you still get to post grad in uk.

The author is indeed judgmental about the skimpy clothing and family diginity etc.

But bhypp I guess you dont know how severe the offense of cheating and plagiarism is in overseas universities, it is almost considered as a unforgivable offense that would eventually lead to someone being expelled. THERE SHOULD BE NO CHEATING IN EXAM IN A MEDICAL SCHOOL. A working world as a judge means that someone would have to die/suffer from his treatment/management/choice of medication before he or she is labeled as incompetent. What happened when a doctor does not know beta blocker is contraindicated in asthmatic patients? Chances are he'll kill the patient. Why? he didnt really study during his med school.

You can ponteng class, you can copy school work, but if you cheat in your final exam and shed tears for a pass, it's too much.

in the healthcare system...there are so many levels of checks in place...so say an intern was dumb enough to give B-blockers to an asthmatic to control his bp....the registrar should at least spot the mistake on the drug chart n correct it....if not the pharmacists who dispense the drug should hav spot it too....and the nurse who gave that to the pt would have picked it up....but yea i agree it is better to put a qualified doctor in the 1st place...rather than an incompetent 1....

About 1/3 the UM medical faculty quit by the time they hit third year because they FINALLY realized that medicine's not for them. It's easier for them since they wouldn't have spent as much on the course anyways.

I'll have to admit that I did slightly overexaggerate the number of UM dropouts/failures/quitters - For that I apologize. Broaden the scope and compare the number of those who enter and the number of those who graduate. More than just 2-3.

I was merely trying to point out a fact that most people do not know what they're getting themselves into when it comes to medicine or any other profession for that matter.

Guys just wana ask, one of my friend is doing her mbbs in VMC india and she claimed that she doesnt have to do housemanship in m'siaa when she returns back has she will need tod o it in India itself..? Is it ture? Can she avoid the 2 years houseman year...hmm
