Whuds

You owe them a heck of a lot more than an apology. Shame on you for posting things that weren't true and giving them false hope.

Look I did not want to post on this I'm the mod here, I posted about what others said here and commented on the school, I'm a med student who spent 55,000 on going to this school and you, need to be careful, I Posted the GMC change right away I'm on the outside now.
I never have lied and told what I was told. For the last time moderators do not work for a school. I posted the change myself.

I have nothing to be sorry about I have always posted what I thought was the truth.

You have attacked me and it has been reported.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
wowWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Scary stufffffff
I feel sorry for those students....
It could have been me, too, and maybe other folks that I know around here.
IT's a sad situation!!!!!

Please don't put the whole blame on Whuds...we all tend to defend our particular schools, and we all need to step back a bit and think about the future of our own...maybe our very surprises are awaiting us along the way....
A moment of silence for those who will have to repay those heavy sets of loans

Don't say that

I'm sure you don't have surprises waiting. There are a lot of good foreign medical schools out there. Please don't let this discourage you. It isn't about all foreign medical schools just this one. The writing was on the wall on this one from the very beginning. People just didn't trust the authorities...Oregon, etc.

I'm not putting the blame on Whuds. I was referring to the GMC thread that was locked. He kept saying that St. Chris was sueing the BBC, etc. He should have referred students to the GMC instead of spreading rumors.

I understand what you mean!


That's more than fear when I am actually fighting at the last minute to secure loans for school. Believe me, it's more than a blow to knock the hell out of every student on this planet. I was accepted there as well, and I almost jumped out of the window when I saw my letters in the mail box. Imagine all those who got accepetd there and are on their way to school, and those who are at the end of basic sciences going into clinicals.
It's just too raw to swallow. It's painful!

How the United States Medical Boards and ECFMG will react to this.

Definitely not good news, and I hope St. Chris realizes this and changes the way they promote themselves. Example, you open Vamulemd and the add St. Chris pays for reads...St. Christopher College, Luton, Englad. When now, it is undisputed that their students cannot sit for the PLAB.

Good luck to all.

Res ipsa loquitur
