If you’re not already sick of me going on about this - I wrote a blog post a few years ago about handling difficult pronounciations. You can read it here: https://t.co/8Hd8BlC6O2

It was such a pleasure to be in a room full of people who spoke so passionately about the deeper issues surrounding donation and health inequalities.

now, back to tweeting about taylor swift in peace 😌

[Thivya @thivyamk]

Well, that caused a surprising amount of drama and I got a lot of abuse, so I have deleted the tweet.

But here’s another link to @jakepmann‘s notes, and a shoutout to Adam Sher & Alasdair Scott too. There was a lot of love for all of you in that thread.

@UmarrLfc I can *almost* understand charging someone in the year below, if you have done well on an exam they are about to sit. But charging people in your own year for notes, for an exam you haven't even sat before...

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@EISSEM this is so kind of you, thank you so much! I’ll definitely drop you a message when I’m crying during the revision period this summer 🥲

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@Justdreamingof Totally agree! I can only wish I had enough confidence to charge money for my notes 😂

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@RaviRSaigal1 Not UOB, but I appreciate the offer! Thank you!

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@jennbeams I understand, but it’s not how my med school set pass marks! So it shouldn’t be a motivation here 🤔

[Thivya @thivyamk]

JAKE I ADORE YOU (sharing for any medics who might find these useful!!)

@thivyamk I graduated in 2012 (from Birmingham) so they're a bit old, but here's everything I have electronically:

@cleosullivan95 are you on a grad med course? I regularly wish I had applied for grad med instead, but at the time I just couldn’t bring myself to sit the gamsat 😂

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@cmwilliams99 my sister goes to the same uni and she always speaks so highly of this ethic there!! really nice to hear it happens from older years and also within yeargroups.

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@cleosullivan95 these are my thoughts in response to people arguing it's fair because students struggle financially... this never happened on my previous degree and we were all struggling for money then? the difference here is the competition against their own year group.

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@jakepmann Oh my goodness this gave me tears!! Thank you so much for sharing this, it's so kind of you.

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@zoedetoledo @jcollm1 @drphiliplee1 Absolutely! Where's that "teamwork ethic" that everyone is so proud to flaunt when they interview for medical school?

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@anna_rebowska I'm not expecting "free labour", I don't even expect people to share their notes at all. But if you're going to share them with your own cohort when you haven't sat the exam before, I personally see moral issues with charging money for that. Not everyone will, and that's okay.

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@Georgia_Layton @UoBMBChB Thank you for sharing this! Both sound like legends indeed!

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@jcollm1 @drphiliplee1 This is absolutely bizzare!! Did you have a closed marking system? It's not how my med school set pass marks, but even if it was, I don't think there's any justification for sending incorrect notes around

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@DrHelenOram This recognition and willing to help each other is what I want to see in medicine!! It makes everyone better doctors in the long run.

[Thivya @thivyamk]

@RajMaan_ There is no reason to be charging your fellow students money for resources!!! And THIRTY pounds per anki deck?! 🤮
