lottery

In less then a few weeks, hundreds of registrars will be sitting the written FRACP paper. Most would have spend hours and hours of study on this post grad exam. Relationships ruined, old friendships broken and new ones made. It is, for some, a life changing experience, for better or for worst. It is however, a highly dissatisfing exam. Why don't you get to know what you got wrong??? It is not an ideal learning experience, at all.

Medicine is full of this sort of nonsense. The selection process is biased enough. Ha, it's all about 'traditions' isn't it. For what evidence can you show me to suggest an interview process select better doctors?

To those who got in this year, congrats. You may not save lives when you finish medical school, but you certainly bought yourself a "life insurance", a guaranteed income for the years to come.

To those who didn't, well, join me on my 7th night shift in a row and you'll be enrolling in anything but medicine.
