Dr Galen

Jessibelle

After checking my hectic social calendar and noticing the absence of Dr Who on both nights, either is good for me

Dr Galen

right so I'll get onto it tomorrow so or today, depending on what time it is now and what time I get up!

Larianne

This the weekend of the 24th?

I maybe climbing Croagh Patrick on the Saturday but could be back from Mayo by nightfall, wrecked!

Maybe put up a few dates?

Grrrrrrr....I know I haven't been on ages but things have been crazy!! Got my GAMSAT score and was happy enough, going to give it another go in March to try and get RCSI, but my socre may suffice for the UK. Ive been trying to do as much work experience as possible, to show I'm doing work experience off my own bat and not just depending on nursing, I've also been writing for the student lancets website...Sometimes my own geekiness scares me:eek:
Am happy to be back on the boards but am in mighty bad form at this moment in time....boys are stupid:mad:....Present company excluded...obviously!
Hope everyone on the boards is well:D

So, any thoughts on when is good for the Beers? End of August/start of Sept??

It doesn't quite justify a thread, but why are the Chilean miners being vaccinated against flu? Cholera etc. I can understand but I would have thought they were the least likely people to get flu. The only reason I can think of is if one of them was latently infected although I didn't think flu was into that sort of thing.

I guess there's a couple of possible explanations:

1) Enclosed spaces, so greater degree of transmission of viral illness by droplet transfer
2)Immunocompromise - it's hot, their diet may not be upto scratch and they're not getting any sunlight, so if they do get sick it could be worse news than usual
3) If one of them gets sick, it's gonna be a bit harder to give medications (not sure if they've got IV cannulation skills for fluids for example, but I guess if an intern can learn this without having done it before, anyone can be taught)
4) And most likely, the NWO has probably arranged for them to get flu shots (aka mind control medications) given their strong physique, so that when they kill everyone on the planet in a nuclear holocaust and the miners emerge, they will prove useful as enforcers to control any underlings that may have escaped death in the aforementioned nuclear event.

Biologic

All understandable. But if flu isn't down there now, surely it's not going to get down there.

As someone who wants to home and do ED, that genuinely makes me sad.

I think the colour suits her. But I absolutely disagree with the method of protest.

Spurred me right on to do a bit more study.
