Dr. Britain

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!

My life made: Medical Offer

That interview mustn’t have gone that badly - a medical school have given me a conditional offer -AAA. I can’t describe how sweet this moment is. After the tribulations of the last year and a half, to see I have an offer - at one of the best universities in the world - is absolutely amazing. I have a place for medicine, I just need to get the grades, and then I could realise my dream - to be a doctor. Wow, just wow.

Interviews are scary! There seem to be questions coming from every angle, and there designed that way, hope this advice helps: Stay calm, they know your going to be nervous, and they’ll make compensations for that. If you’ve got an interview, they’re already interested in you! Half the job is over, interviews are your way of proving how great you are! Take a moment to think over your answer, dont blurt out random drivvle, you need tobe in control! Look at ethical scenarios, and make sure you understand the basis of medical ethics. If you didn’t hear the question, ask for them to repeat it. Good luck all!
