Wonderful opportunity.

All the best.

No. Too many societies and cultures still stigmatize conception before marriage. It might be a way to try to minimize this prejudice but too many children and vulnerable adults would be hurt by the taunts to be worth the risk

Agreed.

And asked - more importantly - whether a patient in a hospital or consulting room was more likely to be in our earlier relaxed state or the more recent agitated state.

There's also this: "White coat hypertension, more commonly known as white coat syndrome, is a phenomenon in which patients exhibit a blood pressure level above the normal range, in a clinical setting, though they don't exhibit it in other settings." - Wiki

She found a right deviation of my electric heart axis of about 90°; we must indeed remain very aware of these confounding variables

Starting a poll would be such a coin

Put the same watch in every answer and youre there.

I fundamentally oppose tampered statistics.

At your age it must feel like you are on a desert island in the middle of nowhere.

Especially knowing you're missing lots of high priority information since the new academic year started today ^^

i love the feeling of stupidity that follows when you shake your arms in frustration and realize "oh my keys are in my hand" after hearing the jingling.

When you guys get older you will have endless fun searching for your glasses and realizing that they are perched on your forehead - or even worse that you have ust put on your glasses to help you look for your glasses

Exactly StringJunky - always wait until you signed something

Why yes indeed, that's most certainly why I cannot complain about anything: pro forma, nothing's happened. But you see, our professors are usually not so distant and are quite familiar with their students, some profs very; can't be asking too much when asking for a bit of ethical dignity

Your Prof's 'A gonna'. "I'm gonna do this/that".

Life's full of 'em... full of **it

I appreciate the sentiment. In the 70's I blindly bought several Gensis albums which promptly did my head in because they left me confused musically but after a dozen or so listens I finally "got" it.

And I have never heard the phrase before either

I suspect it alludes to Eve goading Adam to eat from the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge; they became self-aware after eating from it IIRC

"The world is made for people who aren’t cursed with self-awareness."

what had you expected(??) , really I also think the reason based on your question. think/assume please what would you gain even if someone has been convinced that he/she had had a depression (?) what would we gain , what would be motre useful. also it is not good way , I also ask you the reason. I thought that it was illogical. but of course there may existence absence of information. I am not medical doctor.

I only ask the reason that caused you to think so.but probably this question would be highly important in psychology or philosophy( rather than psychiatry). if you meant whether it was harmful or good making her/him convinced he/she had a depression although he/she did not, then OK ,of course this is very bad,it is harmful. and realy good question. I also heard that this would/should be true as theoritical.(but not from academic literatures ,I herad it from professors whose expertise is psych...

Well, this escalated quickly.

Thank you for the support the last few months!

Well done.

Thanks.

...involved in any project will stand you in great stead later down the line.

Thank you imatfaal - as always, very valuable input and feedback.

Congratulations!

Although not very Australian! I always found this amusing actually. Australians pride themselves on their excessive drinking habits but if you look up alcohol consumed per person internationally there is little correlation. We must not be able to hold our liquor, despite our stereotype of being drunks!

I experience this stereotype a lot when backpacking!

Lucky you you're not German then.

Congratulations! Have fun with it

Glad it lived up to your expectations. First time with a surgical team is pretty mind-blowing isn't it?

It is indeed! Such wonderful things I've seen

My dream is to become a neurosurgeon myself. So you may understand I experience it as a great privilege that I am allowed to take an observational internship

Oh! I thought you were just going to walk around and inconspicuously observe. Congratulations on getting a pass!

Lol well I actually AM going to inconspicuously observe. I'm but a second year undergraduate medicine student lol ... Specialization candidature is only after 6 years, so hopefully I'll pass in 4 years this observation is to get to know the specialty more

Of course this is but a very broad synopsis of the very interesting talk we had ^^ Of course, this'll be only possible if the result of my exam Monday will be good enough. Let's hope for the best!

Good luck - I'm sure you'll ace it. How are you finding studying medicine?

Thank you I'm finding it very satisfying!

Gratz

Congrats!

Thanks! I'll return as a UTA in the second term for assistance in prosection (topographical anatomy of the locomotor system)

Physica's much more polite that that; perhaps it was sarcasm or meaning that your talent will be wasted in academia.

I'm saying that you're very smart and very interested/motivated. Once you graduate you may find medical academia frustrating and limiting. To compensate I hope you find the clinical work rewarding. You're a lot smarter and motivated than the average medic I've worked with.

Then I'm very flattered and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I'm dreaming specializing (6 years) in neurosurgery after my 6 years (1 done so far lol) of Medicine, a whole world of potential research and discoveries, of course combined with clinical activities. I couldn't imagine doing something else later
