Uggg just had a stressful conversation on the phone with an occupational health nurse.
Asking me basically everything about my mental health since 2008, what medication I've been on etc etc. Had no idea about timings or anything and erghhhh. He says he has to speak to his consultant who will get back to me on monday, and might want further information from me.
I feel like crying tbh.
Number one, there have been a few exams which I've probably failed. So I reckon just from that I have less than 10% chance of getting into uni.
Number two, he kept saying stuff like "how this affects your ability to practise" and stuff. Which sort of suggests I may not even be allowed on the course.
Fed up. Don't know how I'm meant to be optimistic about the future.

I shouldn't really be worrying, because the exams went so badly. But meh.
As for the exams front, you never know how things will work out on that one. And if that hasn't quite gone to plan, there's always graduate medicine.
I hope things work out okay for you. Your exams might have gone better than you thought.
One of my friends (in fact the boyfriend of the girl above) got a C in A-level chemistry but still got into med school, he just had to take a gap year first. Anything is possible
I have to sign off my medical records so that the doctor can see them. :yuck:
I already had to declare everything on a form, get it signed by my GP (cost like £20) and send that off. Uggg. I hate people reading stuff about me.
And breathe. You'll be ok, whatever happens
Catch is, its over 300 miles away. On like the 10% chance (feels a lot less) that I'll get the grades to go.
Why do I even need an appointment? :banghead:
Fret not.
You never know how soon they'll give you an appointment, what with IB results being early it may not be until after you results anyway.
Thanks SM.
They had already booked me an appointment for this thursday, which I've said I can't do.
They're gonna try and arrange me a phone appointment or something.
Got another appointment in like 3 weeks, gotta rearrange.
Anyways, I was wondering... in people's experience, what is the best approach? Absolute truth... or the bare minimum [without lying]? Thanks
