Even though I have previously passed an essay purely on the fact that the marker enjoyed reading it (it didn't answer the question set but was very interesting) I decided for this essay set by my consultant to turn over a new leaf and write an essay that fitted the title. Now, I don't know about anybody else but having been given the title "The first month of life is the most difficult except for the last" I presumed that I needed to include some discussion on the last month of life, not just the first...
My essay was returned to me with the words " Very interesting and discursive but not medical enough, do you have a background in literature, you write very well" What does the man expect if he gives me a title like that? My colleagues ignored the title and wrote 6 pages on neonatology (copied straight out of a textbook) and got the same mark as me.
Moral of the story: Ecclesiastes 2: 11.
Looking forward to my BA in Medicine
