Husband and I already went out for a celebratory meal after my exam last week, can’t do it again this week because we can’t afford another round of free flow of Argentinian steak lol 😭
Undergrads: I’ll be happy when I get into med school.

The NHS waiting list doesn’t need more surgeons it needs more capacity.
There are surgeons all over the UK with one shared list per week. Maybe even one shared list per fortnight.
They can operate much more than that but there aren’t the theatres, wards, ICU and nursing.
