Regarding why you're in NMC, as far as your profile says this is the first post you've made... Which seems a bit odd considering your join date. Have you been able to post as a full member in the past? Maybe it's just a technical error that you can sort by emailing the admin? If not, just make a couple more good posts like this one and I'm sure someone will be nice enough to recommend you for validation... On topic, I can't really help you out, but I think the adamant suggestion is a good shout.

That's probably a better link than the one my brain went for, which was the Fight Club line "When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep and you're never really awake"

I can make it after about 9pm, but I sense that'll be too late...

I used to have this recurring dream when I was in my early teens, except it was a recurring series of dreams. Every time I fell asleep I would end up being killed in some way by this freaky little girl. The first one was always that she'd stab me in the leg as I was getting out the passenger seat of my dads car then I'd wake up and when I fell back to sleep the second would always be in a supermarket but I can't remember more than that. Used to freak me out that there wasn't anything really 'dream like' about them, the settings were all completely real places that I visit frequently in real like and the girl was 'normal' apart from being a knife wielding maniac. Very strange.

I put it in quotations not to say that you didn't understand it or anything, just to show that I had read the article and was purely continuing to use that phrase for continuity... didn't think I'd need to explain that to someone who wants to be a doctor For the sake of not turning this into even more of a childish affair, and hoping that the thread goes back on course:

What credibility? I've never had any here because I don't suck mod dick. My argument in this thread is completely watertight, no-one has come here with any personal experience that says I'm wrong, and until they do I will continue to believe that my facts are indeed facts. I'm not stupid enough to not admit when I'm wrong, and when someone comes here and proves it I'll be glad to put my tail between my legs and crawl under a rock somewhere.

My god there is a f**k load of bullshit being spouted in here. I'm not going to say I'm 100% right, but I can only believe what I've been through myself. As I said, my girlfriend is in med school RIGHT NOW. Well actually, right this second she's in a hospital on a voluntary part time placement but that's besides the point. So I do believe that being with her the whole way through, helping her make the decisions etc has given me a fair amount of knowledge on the subject - again I will maintain that I'm not actually studying it myself so I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. Yes, everyone who specialises in whatever they want to do after their foundation years will go on to do _mainly_ that in their full time job (psychiatry in her case) but you've basically helped prove my point by pointing out that everyone of them HAS to do the 5 years beforehand. As a hospital, why would you not use that general knowledge when the speciality skill is not needed? I will state again, no matter how much an anaesthetist _wants_ to just 'put people to sleep' and only that - it's just not a luxury they have. At some point you WILL be required to do other tasks related to the general practise of being a doctor. I don't really know how to put this, but were you there any of the times I've been in hospital? No. When I turned myself into scarface, for instance, there were a variety of nurses looking after me at the hospital (East Grinstead if you want to go check them out for breaking any other rules) but just one doctor. She lead the surgery and personally put the mask on my face which lead to me falling under. I can't remember her name, but I'm sure I could find out if you want to go so far as to check my story checks out? It's quite funny that 2 of the people I respect the most on here are just trying to make me out to look like a complete prat. It's a shame as far as I'm concerned. If I get a ban for this I also think that would be completely ridiculous, because I'm just debating something and I don't feel I'm giving out any personal attacks.

I dunno why you keep doing this directed at me recently, but it's starting to get a bit on the annoying side. Stop being overly pedantic and leaving yourself open to shit like this: For the simple everyday example, it works the same in supermarkets. When I was working at Morrisons I had a 'specialist' task to be doing - namely cutting meat and fish - but when the business needed it (and/or when I had nothing else to do) I was able to go to the tills and help out there. If they had me on in purely a 'specialist' role, I would be a cost to the business when there was no meat to cut. As the management team of a hospital, would you choose to have an anaesthetist on, solely for putting people to sleep and never to do anything else or someone who will look after other areas of peoples health and well being when they dont have anyone to anaesthetise? Anaesthetists are a f**k load more expensive to have sitting around than supermarket staff. A lot of the people on here are trials riders, does this mean that because they have specialised in one type of riding that they wont do any others? Get the f**k off my back until you can think of where I might be coming from. Either that or find me someone who works solely as an anaesthetist and never does anything else - even though they'll have had to go the whole way through med school to learn all the other bits and pieces the same as everyone else.

GLEN, JON HAZ HAXORD UR TF ACCUNT

#1 most insightful thing FP has said on TF in history. This is such a true point... was the patient out battling the recent forest fires overseas for instance?

I'm sorry, but I have to clear this up again... You're telling me that there are people who literally just spend all day putting people into a sleep yes? And have no other interaction with patients? Because my girlfriend in med school says different, but she's generally full of shit so I don't know who to believe! EDIT: and to top this, every time I've been put under it's been by the same doctor who's washed my wounds/assessed the breaks etc, which leads me to believe that although you are knowledgable, you're going slightly outside what you KNOW is true this time.

Tomm, you make a lot of good points and I'm not trying to undermine the argument at all by asking whether you had considered that the other 5 patients are treated by the same doctor too? As I'm fairly certain there aren't doctors who just specialise in aneasthatising patients, there is a probability that this doctor could be contemplating it on a completely different level too - one of targets. Would you be taken as a 'better' doctor for saving 5 lives by making a 'mistake' on another? I'm not saying that's the right way to think about it, but - and this is obviously why I'm not a doctor - I would seriously consider doing it to make myself look better...

Haha, no, no i didn't. It was worth completing it for getting a bit of experience anyway... lol. ZHI-Sam - you can get rapidfire controllers with no extra button, I've seen loads of boards you can mod into your controller on the bay. I would never use one though, it's a cheat whether it's single or multiplayer...

Just finished solo on WaW, so I am able to do the whole zombie thing now. Get in. Also loving the whole downloading demos thing, I've got skate2 and toca GRID so far. What with me being such a cheapskate it's good to be able to do that!

Anyone had any experience of using something other than the official wireless adaptor to connect to your wireless network? I'm not fancying having a lead across my flat, not able to move my router, and not up for paying a shit load for the official adaptor. I've heard you can use any old wireless router as a bridge... Is this just a case of plugging the new router into the power, and into the ethernet of the xbox? Will it automatically work as a bridge?

Whoops... I'll have to get that as well then. I'm sitting here playing it for the first time now... wont be playing online for a few days at least... to get the hang of the controls and stuff, but i've signed up to live and my GT is toastySpoon56 in case anyone wants to add me. Only game at the mo is CoD WaW

I'll look forward to it! You didn't seem to use the front brake too much anyway, just little flicks here and there. If you can get that sidehop gap dialled with no brakes I'll be stupidly impressed...

Luckily for you, perhaps less so for me... WaW was in preowned, so I got that. One night of practise and learning what the f**k is going on, then I'll activate live

I thought that was great, but I can imagine there's going to be a whole load of "You had a front brake, it doesn't count!" comments going on... Good on you for not letting a broken back brake ruin a ride though!

The 360 just turned up Can't wait to get it home now... I'm going to hit Game at lunch time, and I'll either buy Cod 4 if it's in the preowned section or Cod:WaW if not.

I'd scream "I HAVE HAD E-NUFFFFF OF THE GOD DAMN PRESSURES OF THIS GOD FORSAKEN JOB. f**k YOU, ALL OF YOU", while running out of the O.R, most likely with my penis out.

Chill out man. Maybe go have a joint, I've heard that works.

Absolutely, but they haven't spent most of their playing time there. Where did they learn to play? And play all their small gigs and perfect their show before making the tv programme?

Fixed. Fixed.

It's been so long since there has been a Pant burning as good as this Drugs = End to all you're problems
