Editorial - February 2012
It is the night before the print deadline of my very first issue as editor of the Medical Student newspaper, and I find myself in a similar position to my predecessor - that is to say, struggling for words. In the short time since the resurrection of The Medical Student, the standards have been raised to such a height, that the newspaper is almost unrecognisable. Credit for this goes almost entirely to the previous editor, John Hardie, and his dedication to the newspaper. Only time will tell whether or not I can live up to the standards set by John - although I have already failed in one regard: my hair is just not (for lack of words) as awesome as his. Alas! However, as always, we must remember to bring some perspective to the situation and reminding ourselves of unquestionable failures, such as UH Adrenaline should accomplish that. I think I might survive.
The year has only just begun, and already I find myself facing serious issues, from trying to find ways around college download limits, to continued attempts from BUCS to bring an end to the heritage of the London medical schools. Whatever happens this year, it promises to be interesting at the very least and, barring the end of the world, The Medical Student will continue to provide an informative and entertaining record of it all And so we begin.
