Dr Mr Dr Sturgeon

Well that was a really miserable post.
The good news is Prof loved my idea and I am enthused to the extent that I couldn't bare the idea of leaving it half finished. That means I think I'm going to go the whole hog and do a PhD. A PhD also has currency outside medicine as everyone knows what it is and a PhD from I (the ninth best university in the world no less) would be handy if I wanted to get work in the world outside medicine at some point.
It will mean three years in academia rather than two. But I hope to be able to secure funding from elsewhere so that I won't have to spend the whole time going to the C.
