Haha some of us were chatting out in the smoking hut the other day. Apparently there's a frequent vistor who came in recently with an upset stomach. They sent her home and told her to drink milk. She rang in and said she didn't have any!

Congratulations, that's great news

Good stuff

well, I'll put it to you this way...I haven't heard anything bad about them.

Most medical graduates are pretty much the same. You don't hear lots of "OMG, the guys from university X are amazing".

But if there's rubbish people out there, you'd generally hear about it pretty quick.

There's been no bad reports on the UK doctors' equivalent of boards, so fingers crossed.

Chunky Monkey · 26-01-2008, 02:24

Brilliant

I have reasons for staying here but I'm more than happy to accept the offer. I've heard the course takes some getting to used to but by second year the students just wouldn't go anywhere else. I'm so excited

maggie18x · 02-02-2008, 11:35

chunky monkey what course are u leaving to do medicine?

Chunky Monkey · 03-02-2008, 22:11

Hey Maggie

I left natural sciences in Trinty a year and a half ago. Just working as a HCA now

What are you doing yourself?

AmcD · 08-03-2008, 00:04

I am a young Northside GP. I have read a good few of the biology and medicine threads. Hopefully I could give a bit of balance to some discussions from a general practice point of view. It's good to read a couple of different viewpoints from different specialities/professions/public

Just finishing a B.Sc (Hons.) in Biochemistry in Galway, off to do a PhD in Integrative Neuroscience in october.

Interests: molecular genetics of...everything! but mainly (!) neurodegenerative disease and stem cell therapies, including reprogramming amongst other things. Have considerable research experience in bacteriology, diagnostic micro, cancer research (cell-cycle checkpoints), trinucleotide repeat instability and mutagenesis.

My name is Mike. Originally from Dublin but living in Donegal now. I trained as a States and have been practicing medicine for over 10 years years now. PAs work in conjunction with a Physician and have full prescription writing authority in most states. I have a M.Sc degree in Physician Asssitant Studies and am Board certified in Emergency Medicine.

Unfortunetly, Ireland does not have Physician Assistants so I am trying to figure out what else I could possibly do in the medical field.
