a) No, I don't plan on marriage or children. The money is of no concern to me.
b) Queensland has a retarded equivalent though, so I won't hold it against you.
c) I respect British medicine more than US medicine.

i think MIMS for my children is last thing ill be thinking of when im doing med...

can u imagine telling ppl that?

sorry, obviously I am misunderstood. When I said luxuries, I didn't mean just a lifetime MIMS subscription.

I hope I haven't damaged anyone's egos because I know one thing they didn't.

Also I totally agree with you about QLD being retarded, that is partly why I made that JOKE.

Although I can never be sure about your personal motives for doing med, I am sure that if the average salary for a specialist was 20k a year, there would be very few doctors out there. Having a passion for something is good, until you can't feed yourself.

I'm glad someone respects the British system, as our own is heavily based on it.

I am a little confused at your exacerbation of the rich/poor socioeconomic class mentallity. First you winge that you are the son of a poor courier, then you say that money is "of no concern". Add to that the fact that one day, you could be one of those 'snobby rich doctors'. HUH????? Which is it?


I've seen many mods flaming Noobies because they are too lazy to do some of their own research.
I actually do take notice of this - so I talk to my GP about medicine, ask stupid questions about huge books in his shelf, ect.

At the end of the day, I might be annoying, disrespectful, a smart arse, but at least i can be bothered to find some things out for myself.

After all, if I didn't, I be asking you guys, so ease up.

Hey hey,

I read your tirade and can only remember the thing about son of courier vs money no concern.

I don't know how you read that, but I was saying that I don't care about the money. It may be decent, pretty good or bloody excellent but I don't give a damn. Ask Alvin and Wilson, I'm a monk. I don't need an extravagant lifestyle, I don't want a fast car and won't have to send any kids to Riverview.

Regarding my dad, I didn't whinge. I was just making the point that not EVERYONE in med has high-rolling parents willing to fund a PDA purchase. In fact, many require significant financial assistance because we can't afford to sacrifice time to part time jobs due to the intensity of the course (especially here in WA with our 30 hour week).

I like the fact you chat with your GP about med though. I used to do that. For two years.
