Office by Alex Penny
A first year medical student chronicling his process through medical school. There will be tears, there will be laughter, and above all there will be a hunter green stethoscope. I hope you enjoy my humble ramblings, and i'll be happy to answer any questions.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR, SIMPLY A STUDENT, WHO CHOSE A FUNKY NAME. ANY ACTUAL ADVICE SHOULD BE ATTAINED FROM A PROPER MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL - NOT SOME GUY ON THE INTERNET!
Just had my interview, and I came out thinking that i haven’t showed my best, i feel as if they havent’ seen what a good candidate i could be. My major failing was on the second mini interview, the guy just didn’t seem to understand me, he kept asking me what my reason for studying medicine was, even though i’d just told him, and i don’t think i spoke in enough length about my work experience.
I find out in late january, i think i’ll be put on the kind of reserve list.
Got my lovely sexy suit on Saturday, reading through medical ethics and the NHS reforms, I’m worried but I think I’m prepared.
My mock interviwer said she would definitely give me a place at medical school! Thats not a bad thing to hear at all! She was really impressed by my knowledge of medical ethics, and the way i can reflect on how i changed, hopefully i can apply this in my upcoming interview! I’m really nervous though!
Quite excited, hope I learn a lot from it for my actual interview
I’m starting to prep for this interview. I am going to try and blow them away!
2nd December, 2011.
Words cannot begin to describe how happy i am right now, this is a gooooood thiiiinnnggg!!!!!!!!!!
A medical school is actually interested in me!
Got a letter today, opened it, and my god i saw the word “interview” ripped open the letter and it was just an acknowledgement letter. So excited- such a bring down.
