# many thanks
I'll need it. Although I was pleased by the fact that I've learned more chemistry in two days than in my whole life before those two days - I can now talk semi-knowledgably about Angstrom, Van Der Waals force... thingy's constant...

# a bit soon
probably if you're just starting medicine, but this is essential reading in my opinion:

# ooooh - thanks
yeah - my graps of Chemistry is poor, so when we started doing things like pharmacology in 6 months time I didn't want to be looking at things for the first time - hence run over it now while I have a bit of 'free' time

I'll download that book and look over it. Cheers.

# pharmacology
is a right pain...the book is about clinical trials and what good evidence for something working is. the Lind library is a good resource too.
I'm not a medic (PhD in Microbiology) but I work around medical data and with a lot of MDs, so if you get horribly stuck with anything feel free to gaz me and I may be able to help. i'm usually lurking instead of working!

# :D
thanks - I'll make a horrible imposition of myself in the future I'm sure... but I'm good for drinks if I ever turn up at a bash
