I'm comin home in a f**kin ambulance!

Panda has been offered an elective in Guy's Hospital by King's College London in March and April of next year. Means we'll be in the UK for my 30th birthday, which I'm quite chuffed about.

Translation

A friend has sent me her thesis, written in English, and asked if I wouldn't mind taking a look and pointing out any grammar problems. Here's a representative sentence:

Other studies have shown that histrionicotoxins block the ionic conductance, accelerate the inactivation of the nicotinic cholinoceptor (see Daly et al., 1993), diminish the ionic conductance on the voltage-gated sodium channels (see Daly et al., 1993) and inhibit the voltage-gated potassium channel (see Daly et al., 1993).

Unfortunately, I am having trouble translating this into any English, let alone good English. It's a bit of a blow to the ego to have to go to her and tell her I'm too stupid to help her out.

Move to Britain? They're all drunks and psychos
