Guest guest Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Dear Aditi, I would like to point out that you need to be careful when posting on topics, especially since some postgraduates may like to follow whats being said. The examples you have given under abbreviations which I have copied below (in blue) has mistakes. (1) There should be no comma after . (2) In the next example the ; should be next to 2003 (there is no space inbetween) and there should be a fullstop after the pages. 3. AbbreviationsReferences are listed in numerical order in the Reference List at the end of the paper: eg. 1. SD, , AD. Organ donation. N Engl J Med. 2001; 657:230-5. e.g.line HA, Mader TJ, Ali FM, Cocchi MN. Determining pre-test probability of DVT: clinical intuition vs. validated scoring systems. N Engl J Med. 2003 ;21(2):161-2 Sincerely Gitanjali On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 5:55 AM, dtchaturvedi <dtchaturvedi@...> wrote: THAT¡¦S GREATThank you so much Arin and Naman for the contributions.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hi, Isn't it great that peers correct us on NetRUM? NetRUM allows direct posts, without editing, believing in freedom of expression of members but appreciates the monitoring of watchful peers. Thanks Gitanjali. This is active learning where we pick up the skills by performing. Because we do, we err. To err is human and we all have learnt the skills slowly. The present generation can be considered fortunate that they are getting everything so early and with ease.
