Brock Manson 0 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 That's most likely the way to go these days; saw elsewhere there was an author who published her first book on Kindle and it really took off. Will see if I can find myself a copy of that though (my dad's got a kindle I may have to borrow), looks like it'll be a really beneficial read for me. Thanks, lads.

luckyluke 1 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I'm still in a bit of a euphoric daze. You may (or most likely may not) have noticed that I've not been on here much lately. This is because I have been revising for my exams for the Primary part of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, and as such have been on near total lockdown (I've not even been going to jitsu ) Having passed the tricky written component in June, over the last few months I was preparing for the dreaded vivas and practical exam, which I had on Wednesday. I found out I passed the following day. Received written confirmation today, and I discovered that I was right on the pass mark for both components, literally one mark fewer and I'd have been making the long trip down to London again in January and forking out another five hundred quid. It's very difficult to explain just how relieved and happy I am to have passed these. Even amongst postgraduate medical exams, the anaesthetic ones are notorious for being fiendishly difficult and it takes trainees over two years on average to pass both components, and I work with a few people who are two years in and still haven't got either bit. And I've done it in fifteen months, even it was by the very skin of my teeth, a goal line scramble rather than a 30 yard screamer. But they all count.

luckyluke 1 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Cheers guys. I've never had Tramadol, but I was once smacked of my tits on two tablets of 30/500 co-codamol. I'd be a shit junkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Very well done Luke. It does make me feel a bit pathetic in comparison though as we're about the same age and I've achieved sod all in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6308 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well done Luke - must be chuffed to bits Back at work having spent the last 5 days moving furniture, building even more, driving ridiculous amounts of miles and haemorraging money like there's no tomorrow. Almost relieved to get back to some level of normality. Youngest's birthday tomorrow so I'm leaving work early to make a bit of a fuss of him. BTW - how fucking ridiculous is IKEA furniture? Four different items I had and every single one of them had pretty severe errors in the instruction manuals! As for putting a dining room chair together, they made something so simple become something so complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
