first and foremost, i got 98% in my HSC last yr, and got into Macquarie University, i'm doing a bachalors in medicine. What i basically do is just stand behind a full fledged doctor and then when a patient is handed in, they make me say the patient's condition, whats wrong with the patients etc. I also take blood pressure and they let me withdraw blood. I am on my way to becoming a doctor. I just wrote what i thought was right because this is what i've learnt. Alright i guess i shouldn't call myself a doctor yet because i got a few more years till i become one and my pride tickled me to talk on this forum in the first place, don't worry i won't question anything now infact i'm going to back off once and for all. Different Systems around the world are different, for eg. in USA u need to undergo pre courses but in other countries u might not have to, ever thought about it like that?
