Got a question and not much silly I guess.
I recently decided to have a crack at looking for medical residency training in Canada and/or Singapore. My clerkship begins in less than a year and I need to start looking for specialist training and I'm trying to find some abroad. I'm no longer really considering the US as training grounds due to... the way way they do things, professionally and ethically speaking. Not to say that training in the Philippines suck, but I want to broaden my skills and horizons elsewhere. So yeah can anyone point me to any good websites or something for information on applying on the Canada's and Singapore's medical licensure exams and any special requirements regarding training fields, level of education etc? I'm more familiar with the way the US does things so I'm not acquainted with these two countries. |

There are 13 public hospitals and 16 private hospitals in Singapore. The full list is available here. You could probably look up their websites to see if they have openings for medical residents. I suppose the most obvious one to start with is the National University Hospital, which is a teaching hospital affiliated to the National University of Singapore. Hope the above helps. Which area of medicine are you intending to specialise in? |

As far as I know, if you are a foreigner, you have to complete a longer term of service before being able to practice here than a local graduate. This would be a clearer indication than to what TRL provided, however I do recommend reading everything else he provided to get a better idea. I don't see any Filipino degrees under the Body Granting tab....so I am not sure about the approval of yours. I would suggest dropping an email to the MOH to enquire more. Regarding ethics, you have to suck it up to something called the HOTA. A number of my foreign friends view this as unethical, so I don't know how you would feel about it.

Well I'm not really if this deserves a new topic, and if it does then where should I throw it at but I guess I'll try my luck at this thread first.
I got a dakimakura cover from some magazine some time ago. I've never washed it yet, and there are no stains on it but it doesn't smell very good anymore so I figured I should wash it. However, there are no instructions or whatsoever on the dakimakura or anywhere else for that matter. I did google search, but found mostly instructions to hand wash them but I'm really wondering if that really is required ? Seems really troublesome ... So can they be machinewashed, and if they can .. Then at what temperature etc. ?

I have no idea what clothes bag is, haha. Is there a reason why that should be used ? It's not me who washes the clothes in this house, but my mum said that I should just use the washing machine .. why would anything happen.
Well, I am wondering the same, and the need of using handwash / clothes bag or whatever.

Okay here's a question. I visited an old hideout (I love libraries...they don't ditch you unlike untrustworthy friends) and borrowed a book called Idiot America : How Stupidity Became A Virtue In The Land Of The Free by Charles P. Pierce.
It is a brilliant read, never came across a book which is able to amalgamate scathing humour and insulting criticism together perfectly in one tight volume. One issue it brought up is the widespread marketing of diluted and stupidified religion that it ends up in cases like Terri's Law and megachurches having political power. With a local megachurch buying over shares of a convention hall and harvesting blinded minds to boost ranks in the city, is it possible for US to export its stupidity along with its services, brands and information, like the way the Iraq War and Climate reports are edited accordingly and marketed to masses through globalisation?

I am still wondering why it should be used though ? Since it's my mum washing the clothes and whatever, she would ask from me what that was used for and if I couldnt give a reason well... She might just put there as it is.
She wouldnt put any other clothes with it so getting colors mixed isn't really a problem .. And what about the temperatures ?

A washing bag.. if I think what it is you are talking about then you use it for curtains. The curtains here hang with small metal hooks that are bound to the inside, in order to not damage the washing machine you wash them in a cloth bag (saves you hours of hook removing). That was if a hook lets lose you do not have it damaging up parts from the inside, same with possible change in your pocket. That is what I think you mean, a bag in which you put the dirty clothing to put in the washing machine |

Well hand wash is fine I suppose but I really don't know how to go about it. What does it exactly mean, and what kind of detergent (right word? ) should I use. When I read about it on google, all the suggestions were, well of course, for brands sold in USA so they meant nothing to me.
My mum definitely won't hand wash it for me, and as I've never washed anything for myself .. with machine or by hand, I'm quite lost here.. sorry

Handwashing is very simple, just add ~1/4 cup detergent to a sink basin (or maybe a bathtub would work better for a daki), soak your garment, then knead thoroughly for a bit. Rinse, hang to dry. |

You can use a clothes bag to wash Hawaiian shirts which are rayon. You might be able to wash silk Hawaii shirts that way too but I'm too cheap to buy silk. . If you don't use a bag they can be ruined in the wash. |

Thanks Komari for your help . I'll give it a try later on. Too bad we don't own a tub, so will be a tad more difficult in the sink. I have no idea wether the daki is high quality, or low quality though. Exactly what determines which one it is ?
