Write a blog – get a free textbook!

By tom24 January 2012 - 8:48pm

We want almostadoctor to be more than just free notes. We want it to be a place you come to hear funny stories about what other students have been up to, to get the latest info on the events happening in your area, and just maybe to read up on a topic for uni.

We are looking for students and junior doctors to write regular blogs about their antics. It would be great on your CV, can help you let off steam, and best of all, we’ll give you a free textbook!

Revising For Finals

By PasTest14 December 2011 - 4:13pm

Medical Finals are, well, ‘final’. The very last exams you’ll take as a medical student, and effectively what you’ve been working towards for at least the last five years. So no pressure then. When they’re over, and you get your results, you can call yourself ‘Doctor’, register with the GMC, and have the mother of all celebrations before you start thinking about preparing yourself for FY1. So they’re just a little obstacle in the road to a lifelong professional career. Promise.

A Quick Phonecall

By doctorwho15 November 2011 - 11:40am

I was on call. In the office. Typing up some notes on the computer. It was a busy day. I wasn’t quite paying attention.

The SHO from my usual team was on the phone in the office. I wasn’t working on the team today… as I was on call.

Anyway, she asked me if I could speak to someone on the phone. She is a very lovely SHO, and so, of course I did.

Life as an FY1 - Better Safe Than Sorry

By doctorwho26 October 2011 - 10:05pm

Hello! I am a newly qualified FY1, and have been roped in to blog writing by the almostadoctor team… you can read the first of my exploits below!

I wrote this at the end of my second week as an FY1, but it’s taken me a couple of months to build up the courage to post it online.

Please also be aware that there is some strong language…

Nothing’s ever black and white…. and a lot of the time, the grey areas can make you feel like a complete idiot.

That’s what happened to me a couple of months ago…

We Love Oxford Handbooks!

By PaddyGreen10 October 2011 - 12:48pm

When you get into clinical years we've found that the most useful books you can have on you are the two oxford handbooks! (clinical medicine and the specialties handbook). They are small enough to cram into a pocket, detailed enough so you can sound like you know what your talking about and have lots of pretty pictures too! If you go to their website they also hold monthly competitions for handbooks, and have lots of other interesting things for you to check out! Click on the banner to have a look!
