Hi All,
I'm a 30y/o Australian Medical Student from Sydney, have also studied Medical Science.
Happy to answer questions as best I can about Medical Practice / Medical School from the perspective of a Medical Student.
Just to be 100% clear Med Student - Not a Doctor incase you missed it the last three times.
@Mysterymeat: Yes I am a qualified specialist and I highly respect the work that GP do and the knowledge that they require. However a GP once told me that it took him 10 years of experience before he was very comfortable to treat the large variety of conditions that he encounters on a daily basis.
