I've just got a conditional offer from the UCE in Birmingham :-D Assuming I pass my OU course, I'll be spending the next three years studying Speech and Language Therapy  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

Thanks Alan :-) And Ray, maybe we'll work together one day  ;-) I found it interesting that SLTs are involved in administering a barium meal. I had one when I was younger and had some internal bleeding. It was weird. Nothing like what you said where they mix it with bananas and custard (yum!). I had it in two parts. The first was a small amount of powder (the barium?) and the second was a cup of what appeared to be carbonated water. I was told to take the powder first and keep it in my mouth while I took the 'water'. When I did so, the whole lot effervesced violently and I had to swallow it quickly to stop it exploding out of my mouth! Maybe this was intentional, to make it expand and fill the entire oesophagus to check for damage or leaks?

Do they use Amigas with Video Toasters? ;-)

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get time off work at a time when a local hospital could accomodate me :-( However, the undergraduate degree course in Speech and Language Therapy involves placements in hospitals, nurseries and retirement homes, which are designed to provide all of the practical experience and assessment necessary to qualify and practice as a Speech and Language Therapy. Also, I have previous experience of working in a Speech and Language unit in a school.

Hmmm good advice. I'll try to book a day in the new year when I'll have more holiday to book. I've got until september when the course starts ;-) Thanks!
