168 Hours per week . I cannot stop to laugh of that. I love the part Olympic medals and superhuman powers helpful but not necessary
It's amazing to think that they get any job applicants at all.
But you know that it will be worth it in the end.
Of course, some don't win their Olympic medals until after they qualify. Dr Tim Brabants of Team GB at Beijing, and Dr Stephanie Cook Team GB in Sydney.
Heh, Robert Newberry of Australia has competed in the last three Olympics, has three bronzes, and is CURRENTLY studying medicine. My mind boggles.
And Scott Brennan of Australia (gold medal in rowing) is a doctor (starting intern year next year).
"Benefits: 10% "student discount" at local pizzeria" Oh, ain't it the truth.
How could anyone not want this job?
: )
Good post.
And yet we still love it (most of the time). I only occasionally think of throwing it in and flying planes or driving ambulances:-)
And lets not discount the importance (hehe) of discounts. Particularity where pizza is concerned. I could procrastinate for Australia.......those medical Olympians have nothing on me :-)
This is a really good idea and there are many medical jobs in Australia that helps medical professionals and find more http://www.fastmed.org
during my third quarter we averaged one test every 36 hours for 6 months -- it really wasn't that much different from the previous 2 terms --cram and sleep. the guys with the MS's usually got to go to bed early.
Your conspicuous knowledge, longanimity, visceral wisdom and training submit made for a grapheme aggregation with lots of techniques which were leisurely to see and do . We had a lot of breeding which was noise gambler as it allowed us to mingle reach the system that we stodgy. I perception presumptuous to practicing what I learned. Way to go - thanks a mil for reaching so far!
