Study never sleeps

It may be the holidays, but one of our number is studying hard for another exam. In order to remain qualified as a doctor, Elise has to take a medical test every seven years. Does medicine really change that much? The good news is that it's multiple choice and, as every schoolchild knows, if you pick b) for everything then statistically you'll score enough to pass.

I joined Elise in a cafe today as she studied, but left after she started showing me the picture section of the practice test (if the questions had been "which diseased part of the body is this?" I couldn't have helped). So good luck Elise! You're the only medical insurance most of us in the village can afford.


a) Ronald Reagan, b) Penicillin, c) Guatemala, d) Westham United
