  1. Aye Cervical Cancer can be caused by the STD Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)' date=' so in theory if you're a woman and you have more (unprotected) sex, you're more at risk of developing cervical cancer . Interestingly enough Aberdeen is one of the hosts of the PATRICIA trial - they've developed a vacccine which may protect against HPV (and consequently against Cervical Cancer). They offered female Med Students the chance to take part in the trials since they're in the final stages.

    If you're interested there's an article on the PATRICIA project *here*

    They didn't bloody well offer me a vaccine. The obs and gynae department in aberdeen is pretty horrible. What year med student are you? I'm in fifth year. I'm doing my elective on drug facilitated sexual assault in aberdeen. should be good. really fancy sexual health as a career but at the same time dont fancy many years of horrible general obs and gynae to get there. c'est la vie.

  2. hmm not ovarian cancer im sure but cervical cancer or CIN yes. it's because sex exposes you to certain different sexually transmitted factors (ie viruses) which are carcinogens and encourage cancer to develop in later years. i'm sure we were taught that CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia - a sort of precancer/cancer type thing) is unheard of in the nun population, as they have never had sex and are thus not expose to the cancer-causing sexually transmitted viruses. conversely CIN is more frequent in those who started having sex earlier and thus have probably had more sexual partners and a greater risk of transmission.

  3. i'm sorry.. but that is a stupid question! you cant ask 'WHY were u attacked?'.. thats like asking me if i asked them to attack me.. i cant answered why' date=' other than the guy was a twisted, sick fucko.

    i want him dead.[/quote']

    penny dear it's hardly stupid. let me put it in simpler terms for you to understand. i was wondering if it was a provoked attack or not - for example did you have an argument with someone and then they viciously attack you? or were you viciously attacked as someone tried to mug you? i asked because i can't really imagine someone just rounding a corner and seeing you and wanting to beat you up for no reason, you look pretty harmless, you know?

  4. i was visciously attacked in glasgow.

    that's why i came back to the deen.

    why were you visciously attacked? was it just a random beating from some idiots? were dogs involved?

    i like in fear of stuff like that. i don't think i could fight off a rapist or a rabid animal attacker. my boyfriend says i give an okay dead arm, but i think he's lying. i think maybe my fish hooks and gouging are better, but they are as yet untested in the field of violence.

    i am relatively untouched by crime.

  5. dream job is owning my own clothing/make-up/shoe line

    ooh snap. although i'd be happy with my own wee shop full of beautiful wares catering for the eclectic lady-about-town. it'd have leopard print wallpaper, a polka dot carpet, and i probably wouldn't let anyone buy anything because i'd like it all too much. im thinking maybe ten years of being a doctor and stringent saving and ill have some capital perhaps. or maybe i'll be dead. it's a game of chance.

  6. i'm sure the bitch had something going on with McNaught aswell.. both were on 'mission possible.. the crusade to destroy pennys ego'. fuck them. evil lesbian rejects.

    funny you should say that penny, i often heard them conversing about destroying your life, and breaking your body into a thousand pieces with their evil lesbian reject army. i guess i just thought they were joking, but it just goes to show what actually goes on beneath our noses.

  7. I can't help but think the chances of anyone skinny dipping in gordons pool for erotic pleasure are pretty low. It was disgusting. I faked having a period lasting entire terms to avoid that filthpit. Also to generally avoid swimming and getting my fringe wet.

    The creepiest teacher i encountered there was Dr Farquar. The thought of him still unnerves me. Yuck. YUCK.

  8. did you pay attention to the "suspension of disbelief 101" ?

    if you've a problem with shrapnel being pulled form a mans chest' date=' did you not wonder how 50+ people could survive a plane falling out the sky from 40K feet ?[/quote']

    actually i did!! but i gave them that one. being generous and all. its a squillion times less incredulous than aforemention giant maneating beasto there. i'm also really surprised noone mentioned harvesting the dead guys organs for future meal purposes. it's the first thing i wouldv'e thought of. i love meat etc.

  9. that's my point my dear. you never take out something that been plunged into someone like that because chances are it being in there is actually beneficial as it's plugging all the vasculature that's been sliced up inside. if you take out the shrapnel, you allow those torn blood vessels to start bleeding again, and chances are the person will bleed to death very quickly. i paid attention during my a&e block. oh yes.

  10. i thought it was okay until the giant maneating beast thing showed up, whenceforth i groaned. also, if someone has a shard of something stuck in their chest, you don't just rip it out. calls himself a doctor, pfffft.
