Researchers,

Before answering these questions, please give some thought to whether
or not you would want your loved ones treated by this person after
he/she cheats his/her way to a medical degree.

Answering individual questions is largely down to a researcher's
individual discretion, although if mashhour is putting his homework on
the site verbatim then he is breach of the Terms of Use and should
take note.

For myself my life is full of legal professional assessment at the
moment, but wouldn't put my questions on here simply because I'd be
better off saving the money, doing the work myself, becoming a better
lawyer and earning more money in a few years.

So I'd have more money, more knowledge, and a clear conscience. I also
wouldn't be struck off the minute I tried to deal with a real person.

I have made a similar comment to this poster in the past; I am not a
paid answerer here, but I do participate from time to time, and I am a
practicing surgeon. I find it disturbing that someone who is
presumably a medical student is unwilling to make the effort
him/herself to learn these things; and I agree that it would make
suspect his/her future success -- not to mention character.

So tell me how he/she going to pass other exams?
