    I need help!

    In my 6th year of medicine I get 3 months to go anywhere in the world and do anything I want as long as it is semi medical related!!!

    I have just come up with this crazy pipeline dream with what to do with at least part of my 3 months, Go help out with Clinica Mobile!

    Its madness to think they would even accept me but I guess I can only try hey???

    So anyway just asking for help for ideas of how to get their attention, make them even think about considering having me, even if its only for one event!

    Obviously I love bikes, (motogp riders ) but mostly Im loving the idea of Orthopaedics, the idea of using chisels and screws in surgery really appeals to me!!!

    So any fabulous ideas???

    I reckon just turn up to the next Gp & wait till stoner comes in from Practice, take stoner out while he is pitting, then rush him to the Clinica Mobile, tell the Doctor that stoner was complaining about slow riders causing him to crash!......Then tell the doctor you think "its just all in stoners head"
    If that fails....then show him a standup Minga on the viffa
    Fook Yeah!...Me Got DRZ400sm Now!

    & still can't spell for shit!

    Go for it. You need to sell yourself, not necessarily with skimpy clothes lol, but you need to stand out and give the impression that you're strong and can cope with anything type blah blah, which you are....
    You must have an awesome CV (or some type thing)?! If not, it'd be easy to put one together!

    Good luck, you can do it!

    Hey Dr Price! Firstly, congrats on getting to where you are now. Orthopaedics sounds like a great field to get into. I guess as far as getting on board with Clinica Mobile, I guess you can only ask. I'm sure they'd love to have a kiwi on the team. Guess the best thing to do is drop them a line on info@poliambulatorioclinicamobile.com and see how it goes. Good luck!!

    Oh the website said this email clinicamobile@centrotraduzioni.com
    Not sure if they go to the same people

    Get hold of Charlie Borman and ask if he wants a helper for his next madness adventure. I can safely say you wont be bored on a Borman tour.

    fARK'n hell. You call yourself a biker/motorcyclist and don't know who Charley Boorman is? What rock you been hiding under these last FOUR/FIVE years?
    paris to Dakar (he broke himself), Long Way Round, Long Way Down (both with Ewan Mcgregor of Starwars and Trainspotting fame).
    haha, I got given a book by the MIL (Long Way Round) for xmas when it first came out. I had no idea who either of them were, now when I see trailers for Star Wars & such, I'm, oh, it's Ewan McGregor, he did that trip around the world. Have to say, I don't think I've seen a film with Boorman in it, but the bits I've seen of his acting, he needs to stick to motorcycling (okay, support team).

    Seriously though, how's your French? Not sure if De Costa even speaks English. There are other clinics (USA) that specialise in motorcyclists (Doctor, Tornado & Kentucky Kid has an interview with one, where it shows some cool old helmets sitting on the shelf behind him).

    It won't be easy to get into, so send your CV, a video, references and whatever you can think of at them. And of course, good luck

    http://www.tkbsportsmedicine.com/Biography.html is one starting point (this is the Dr on the film I mentioned)
    My french (and Italian) are not suitable to speak to any civilised person haha

    If you contact the clinic, maybe they will be able to start you off in the right direction.

    What rock have you been hiding under? Charlie Boorman has a very apt surname, and De costa is Itallian.
