BrightMed 1: The Story Begins...

Off to a great start, and ended with a fantastic finish; BrightMed has just begun!

And the 'long' journey was definitely worth the wait. (Apart from the roundabouts - no one likes roundabouts...)

You know that moment when you're sitting in a lecture hall, waiting for the time to go by? Nope, can't say I do, not today at least!

Really, it was absolutely amazing. I think the most admirable part, was the fact that we were all treated as adults, as respected human beings, as potential doctors.

 So, how about I tell you what we did? I don't know why I bothered asking, I'm going to tell you anyway.


  1. Anatomy Session - Everyone knows how crucial anatomy is for becoming a doctor, but no-one really knows how entertaining it is. Seriously, if a student ever says they dislike it, they don't. They're either lying, or in the wrong theatre...
  2. S B E E T A I D - Here's another thing we learnt about... Can you work out what it is?
  3. Being taught by students - This was awesome, UTIs, heart circulation and kidneys - All in one session! Plus, a free insight into the students high quality of teaching.
  4. Now we're on the subject of heart circulation... - I have to admit, previously I thought that a practical walk around a virtual Circulation of the Heart wouldn't be beneficial. How wrong I was. Not only was it incredibly educational, it's also fascinating to see how systematic and precise the circulatory system is!
  5. Possibly the highlight of my day: taking medical history - Not only did we get to see an Oscar winning performance, but we were able to experience some amazing clinical application of the skills we learnt. Mr Beaton, do you know your SOCRATES?
Mum's response: "So you liked it then?"

For now, here's a video for those of you who wish to learn more about Atherosclerosis...
