Hey guys! My DIGITIZED UCAT NOTES are now for sale! 🥳You can get a copy over on my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KharmaMedic !

[@lfcrags9715]

Kharma Medic will it be relevant for 2020 ukcat exam

[@KharmaMedic]

Yep! 😁

[@biblohudson9425]

Great video! The question at @15:22 (18) Im unsure what the answer would be. Could you please explain this one to me?

[@Shilpa91000]

I'm a nurse and would like to do medicine. During my nursing placements I've always wished that nurses and doctors explained things in a way in which we could understand their thought processes to understand how they came to a particular conclusion or resolution for a clinical situation. Hence what u r doing through these ucat videos is exactly the technique for people to get better at doing ucat questions. Thank you!!

[@KharmaMedic]

That's so wonderful to hear! I'm glad you can see my thought process through the videos, that was the whole goal 😁

[@jansuresh4921]

Kharma Medic, you're amazing at explaining everything in a simple manner and I LOVE the effort you put into these videos. Thank you so much :) I have my UKCAT exam next week!!

[@KharmaMedic]

Thanks so much Jan! That's really wonderful to hear 😊 It is a lot of effort so I'm happy you guys enjoy them!! Best of luck, you are gonna SMASH it 🔨

[@sunflowerlovergirl]

You explain stuff in such a simple and calm way it's like so easy to understand thank you

[@KharmaMedic]

Thank you!

New subscriber! I'm an international student, just decided to look into the UK for medicine and I was very unaware of what the UKCAT was. I binge-watch your videos during my practice breaks and I love them. I take my exam in a week and a half, a bit nervous but your videos calm my nerves a tad bit

[@KharmaMedic]

Welcome Simeka! I'm glad they've helped! Keep watching and keep practicing 😁 The UKCAT is a game of exposure to as many questions as possible. Good luck!!

Hey Nasir. I just did my UKCAT today and got: VR- 590 DM-740 QR-800 AR-680 702.5 average SJT Band 2 I wouldnt have got this without your videos as they were very helpful as well as your notes. Thanks a lot for making all these great videos which helped me a lot!!!

Hi Ohene, did you use any paid sources? I'm planning on sitting the UCAT this year and would like to know if I need to get paid resources or if I can rely on free resources available + Kharma's notes

[@mikemyth3000]

@@ohenefrimpong6650 Okay, thank you for the quick response. I'll check them out, I'm currently on summer break and I sit the UCAT in June this year, I'm starting preparation a bit early but do you think I should pay for Medify now or closer to June and just focus on free resources for now?

[@ohenefrimpong6650]

@@mikemyth3000 honestly I would say don’t start preparation until about 4-6 weeks out (I took 4) just to avoid burnout and the nature of the exam. I’d buy a medify subscription then

[@AsdfnikosCy]

I have to say that this video is *very important* and hopefully I don't need to explain why ;)

[@garoash3774]

20:07 I think it’s “D” because Cameron is avoiding the situation and making the patient deal with something they shouldn’t be doing placing them in an even more uncomfortable situation

[@waterbottle164]

I completely agree, especially since the patient made it clear that many people felt uncomfortable so i should only think approaching the senior doctor in question would make them feel worse. I also think the fact that the patient came to another member of staff (or medical student) shows that they didnt want to confront the doctor.

[@cerises9386]

yea same. the patient should be able to rely on you

[@sea5205]

[@jessh5111]

My best tip is to watch medical dramas and tv shows. Whilst the medicine might be inaccurate, they usually contain many ethical and legal scenarios.

[@aishashaikh5466]

any recommendations?

[@rakijayachanthiran5574]

Just questioning, for that question at 14:08, why is it just important? Would it not be very important? This is because if other staff members have increased workload, would that not affect the quality of the health care service as it is less efficient? Therefore, patient satisfaction will decreases??

[@somebodygr8845]

because the most important thing is that the errors hes making towards the patients he is dealing with, would be a harm to them

[@divkothari4339]

Hi nassir, I really enjoy your ucat videos. It has helped me improve my situational judgement skills !

[@KharmaMedic]

Yay 😁

[@AD-jv5qy]

Hey Nasir, at 12:45 you said that breaking patient confidentiality is never to be broken but it can be in some unique circumstances, what would those be? Love your ucat videos!

[@lou-anhlefort8598]

if the patient has seizures but refuses to tell anyone, the patient could become a danger (while driving for example) to himself and OTHERS. thats one of the exemple but in the STJ section, I don't think you have those kind of scenarios as the circumstances are pretty precise/

[@dutchy6140]

Hello, I was wondering if there was a place to get the UKCAT notes for free or if that was a limited time offer for a few years ago

[@danieleprevedello9609]

12:15 How does his intention matter in Lucy's decision to do something about it, from the standpoint of a medical student that at best can only inform people (either her fellow student or someone in charge)?

[@TheMagellan92]

Hey guys! So what was the answer at 18:34?

[@saradaji4565]

Hi, When are the times that patient confidentiality can be revealed ? I'm really finding your videos extremely helpful by the way. Thank you for your hard work! : )

[@zarav4150]

Sara Daji when the patient’s problem can harm someone else! eg. a man diagnosed with HIV but refusing to tell their partner, the doctor can break confidentiality and tell the partner as they are now at risk of contracting HIV.

[@filsan1860]

Hey, Can you please do a video about controlling nerves during the exam. I have mine in a few weeks and I am feeling so nervous and I feel like it is affecting my mock scores :(. Thanks again for your lovely videos!!

[@KharmaMedic]

Nerves definitely get the best of me some times. I've covered this topic in several videos and in my upcoming interview video. Check it out!

[@archjanasivasuthan6252]

Thanks so much for this!!!! It really boosted my score when I was practicing. :)

[@sportsunleashed1]

At 20:00 I dont understand how the answer can be b). Should the responsibility not be on Cameron to tell the senior doctor as he is his coworker technically. In my opinion which might not matter but if I was a patient and me and others were feeling uncomfortable and I tell the med student (cameron) to notify the senior doctor and they tell me to do it, it just seems disrespectful and inappropriate. It almost seems as they are giving you the responsibility of telling the doctor as they don't want to. So I just can't understand how it's not c or d. D might be pushing it but I just feel like it has to be C. But regardless of what I think the answer is actually b so i'm not sure of how those board members agreed on that but if anyone can give their opinion on why they might think it's B that would be great.

Hey Nasir, quick question; at Medify when I do them SJT mini-mocks, is the score I get quite reliable? It usually says “Medify scores are a guide only, and neither guarantee nor substitute UKCAT scores”.

[@KharmaMedic]

Medify is a great resource to practice and prepare yourself for the UKCAT. But of course the score you get on any one mini mock or full mock is just the score for that test. It could or could not be similar to the questions you get on exam day! Take all scores with a pinch of salt imo. It's good to track progress but it's not a direct indication of your score on exam day 😊
