A little comment
I see you're really busy with your studies. Hope everything's okay and that your Wikibreak won't be too sustained :) — CycloneNimrod Talk? 10:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Which postgraduate exams are you entering for? Out of pure curiosity, of course! Best of luck and thanks for the good wishes! — CycloneNimrod Talk? 15:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi!


 * In India, after one completes one's MBBS course, one has to appear for qualifying exams to get into a postgraduation course, which is irrespective of the desired course&mdash;be it a preclinical subject like physiology, paraclinical one like pathology or a clinical course like medicine. My preference is radiology, but that's the toughest course to get into. If I don't get that I might like to take up pharmacology or a course related to medical technology (offered by a reputed engineering Institute to medical graduates). And the competition is immense&mdash;to get into any clinical course (the more sought after courses), the selection ratio is 1:50, i.e., one out of every fifty MBBS doctors gets into a degree clinical course, at a worse rank one can get into paraclinical courses or diploma courses as against a degree. To get into radiology, the selection ratio is approximately 1:500. So, I believe, you'd realize what kind of competition awaits me! Thanks for the good wishes. Will definitely need them ;)


 * So, may I know how far have you reached in your admission procedure into MBBS course?


 * Regards.

 * Wow, 1 place per 500 applicants? That's an immense amount of competition, best of luck. Comparatively, my medical application is roughly 1:8, so i've got it fairly easily. I'm actually applying to do BMBS rather than MBBS, not even sure what the difference is but it's what Peninsula School of Medicine and Dentistry is offering. I'm sending off my application in about 3 weeks assuming I get the grades (i'll find out in about 10 days). Really, really hope I get in, i'll be heartbroken if I don't. But hey, that's life! I think JFW has offered to send a letter of recommendation to the medical school which should help a little too, but I need to reconfirm that with him. Anyway, I will definitely keep you informed and I hope you'll keep me informed on your radiology application too. Best of luck, once again. — CycloneNimrod Talk? 13:33, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Extremely late Editor Review thanks
Hi KC Panchal, I know this is really (like a month) late, but I just wanted to thank you for participating in my editor review. (So far you're the only one). Thanks again,  Little Mountain  5   review! 20:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about not getting any reviews. You'll get some eventually. I would review you, and tried, but I am just not good at reviewing at all. Thanks again,  Little Mountain  5   review! 02:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Good to know you're finding them helpful. I'll take a look at lymphatic system in a bit. A little busy in real life unfortunately, will be out of town all this week. SDY (talk) 16:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Featured Topic Task Force proposal
Hey, I've just set up a proposal for a new task force in the WikiProject Medicine called FTTF, or the Featured Topic Task Force. We aim to create a featured topic for medicine, most likely to do with an infectious disease of some form (the proposals so far include polio and bacterial infections in general) and become the first medical featured topic. The proposal can be found here and further discussion can be found at the bottom of the WikiProject Medicine talk page. I've very much appreciate your comments and possibly support of such a proposal, if you'd be willing to take part! — Cyclonenim T@lk? 13:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
