Congrats, Antonia! That is a HUGE accomplishment! I found your blog thru my daughter's blog(dragonflyersladybug/sweethomealabama22). I am beginning to look into homeopathy for our family and wondered if it truly is very common in the UK? There are so many side effects with some of the allopathic meds here in the US. Enjoy your free time!
-Kate O'Toole
CONGRATULATIONS! Now, go have a beer!
Congratulations!!! Love the pink card too.
Congratulations and Deo gratias!
Awww! That would have to be the cutest little graphic ever. Antonia, fantastic!! =)
I bet you did great.
Congrats! & God bless..
Many congratulations, Antonia. Hope you have a well-earned rest before your elective.
Fair play Antonia - me too!
Thanks for the congratulations everyone!
Kate -- Homeopathy is not very common at all in the UK. There may be one or two little homeopathy shops scattered around, but I don't think many people use them.
Yes, lots of conventional medication does have a number of side-effects (but not always! and very often the side-effects do get better with time!)
:-)
Do let me know how you find homeopathy if you start using it!
God Bless!!

Homoeopathy's hardly unknown in the UK. The NHS has the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital and the market for complementary medicine in the UK is worth over £630 million. All health food shops and most pharmacies sell homoeopathic remedies. Holistic health centres are booming.
Hi annonymous,
When Ms. O'Toole mentioned homeopathy I assumed she was talking about homeopathic remedies in the traditional use of the term 'homeopathy' as:
"Homeopathic formulas are based on the theory that even when a remedy is diluted with water to the point where no starting material remains, the water will retain a "memory" of what it was once in contact with"
THAT definition of homeopathy is not popular in the UK; and it certainly isn't a part of any NHS practice.
I think we need to make a distinction between 'alternative' and 'complementary' medicine.
Stuff like homeopathy (diluting with water etc) is typically classed as being 'alternative' medicine, because it rejects the simultaneous use of any of medicines and actually seeks to replace them.
Complementary medicine on the other hand (which is what the 'Homeopathic Hospital' in London does) complements traditional western medicine and yes, THAT *IS* mainstream in the NHS.
I just assumed that the original question was about the former situation and not the latter!

Yes, the NHS Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital provides complementary therapies and medicines *in addition* to homoeopathic remedies.
There are actually 5 NHS Homoeopathic hospitals in the UK who all dispense homoeopathic (in the 'traditional' sense, as you describe) remedies.

Congratulations Antonia :-)
God Bless you!
Congrats and best of luck for the future.
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your congratulations everyone!
Annonymous; thanks for correcting me!
I honestly had no idea! I have never heard any good things about homeopathy from doctors so I'm extremly surprised that the NHS is spending money on it (given the fact that there is barely enough money to spend on mainstream health care for patients).
(ps-- would be nice to know who you are...!)
I love your blog's new template! The quotation at the top is one of my favorite quotations!! Excellent work too about finishing the exams.
I used to spend just as much time doing frivolous things like calculating the minimum score I needed on my exam to pass my course. Your card is much more enjoyable than my boring numbers! Congrats.q
Congratulations! What a wonderful feeling. I remember.
So happy for you! Also, love the new design. Your brother did a great job. It's lovely. :o)
