Help create student resources

Welcome to this WikiMed website: A Medical student resource

This website is for all undergraduate medical Students.

Intended to create a study resource which can help Students with their respective studies. To begin with, I urge students to create a database of Past year questions, sorted out Topic wise. The website is fully editable by anyone, hence if spot any errors or misrepresentation, anyone has right to edit it to the correct version. Help create a truly functional and resourceful website and help eliminate any errors. The website is self policing, that is to say, any errors, inappropriate additions or deletions will be corrected by subsequent visitors to the website.
This website works on the same structure and principle as Wikipedia or any of WikiMedia sites. Hence uses WikiCode - So dun try HTML for formatting.
Please contribute your efforts.

NB: This is no Med Journal, Med-textbook or Wikipedia, for lengthy explanatory articles. This website is for exam oriented study only. We want to see people put simplified, concise notes on topics, NOT article extracts or cut-paste jobs from wikipedia.

Unrecorded leave for organ donors

1265585520|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

While it is laudable to place incentives for organ donation, one wonders if 42 days unrecorded leave for civil servants is rather excessive. It seems like a classic “give an inch and they’ll ask for a mile” when Cuepacs thinks 42 days is not enough, and is asking for 60 days. What about employees in the [...]

Darren has a hilarious post on some not so brilliant HOs. I’m sure some of you could share similar close encounters! One of the worst ones I recall is a chap who I suspect learnt only one thing from his surgical posting. IV drip regime = 6 hourly pints of fluids. So in his next rotation in [...]
