Mr Grumble Begins to Grumble

A friend of mine has started a new blog. He is using it to make all of his daily Grumbles public knowledge.

Mr Grumble is a bit of a fickle soul and things he really likes one day are very quickly replaced and the moaning and grumbling begins. He grumbles about pretty much everything and anything that is annoying him at the time and as many people love the grumbling so much Mr Grumble is putting them onto the web for all to see.

If you want to take a look at some of the grumbles and if you want to comment and add some grumbles of your own to the subjects at hand then take a look at Mr Grumble

I am sure you will love the witty writing and grumbles that we can all relate to.

iPhone Apps for the Medical Profession

After all the years of being tutted at for using your mobile phone whilst anywhere near a patient, (heaven forbid it should be in a hospital) I was slightly surprised when I discovered that there are medical applications available, specifically targeting Medical Students and Doctors.

Now, I can imagine there are certain advantages to having all the information for the millions of drugs, and hundreds of thousands of conditions that could be affecting your patient. Is there life after the stigma of the mobile in hospitals?

I think so. It’s been proven recently by many organisations that the frequencies mobiles use are harmless to medical equipment, so why shouldn’t your Doctor have all of the (possibly hundreds) of side effects that could result if he gives you that drug in combination with your statin?

Personally, I’d be a lot more comfortable, knowing that the person administering my medication can use an iPhone app to calculate my dosage, rather than making a decimal place error when mentally calculating it, and making me ill, if not more.

Now…. I’m a little biased. I am a medical student. Friends of mine have the iPhone, and use it for everything from diagnosis to drug reviews. I would personally feel a lot more confident with an iPhone in my pocket, I want my (eventual) patients to get the very best care, and that means I want to make sure that I’m prescribing to the best of my ability.

Anyone who has ever used a massive medical textbook, (let alone 20 for referencing one condition) will know how impractical the world of medical knowledge is. Having all that information in a handy form (namely on an iPhone) would be a monumental, even a revolutionary change in the UK medical profession, I believe, for the better.

Madbid.Com – Latest Gadgets at Crazy Prices

Madbid.com are at it again. Over the past few months I have been a member of Madbid.com and have followed a lot of their penny auctions only to see that people including myself are getting the latest gadgets and gizmos for astonishing prices.

They have more or less given away so many gadgets this week including a 1TB Seagate External Hard Drive which retails at £70 for just 90p. Also a brand new iPod Touch 8GB for just £10.59 which is a massive reduction on the £199 it is sold in the shops for.

Today their is an auction running for a Sony Bravia 46″ 1080P TV and it is currently priced at £1.99. This TV normally retails at about £1,199 and as the price only goes up by 1p every time somebidy bids on it then it is likely to go for a very cheap price.

It is not only electrical gadgets and gizmos that go up for auction as well. You can find Aftershaves, Perfumes, Kitchenware, Chocolates, Scratchcards and Vouchers for many High Street and Online retailers. They run about 10 auctions at any one time and you can participate in as many or as few as you would like.

The bid packages are very reasonably priced and if you join now with the word ‘ndev2k‘ in the referrers field on the registration form you will get 3 free bids.
