Why Medicine? - in 10 words
Halfway through my obs and gynae placement now! It’s been really enjoyable but it’s all very new as we haven’t really touched much on anything in this speciality before.
Oncology ✅ Breast ✅ Infectious Disease ✅ Dermatology ✅ So done with all my 1 week placements for this semester. Really enjoyed them. I really enjoyed my 3rd year of medicine and so far 4th year is seeming even better! The teaching is better and it makes such a difference that the online material we are covering correlates with the placement this year so you have a better idea of what’s going on when on placement.
My first 4th year placement is Oncology and it’s nearly over! We only have a week on Oncology and tomorrow’s my final day. 😢 I’ve really enjoyed this placement, I didn’t expect to find it as interesting as I did. I feel like it’s a speciality where you can have a really profound impact on patients’ lives; and also patient stories can really impact you. I’ve met quite a few very memorable patients in this block, who I’ve not been able to stop thinking about after speaking to.
Induction week begins tomorrow and I’m getting all ready to move back out to uni. 📚
Long time, no post. So my intercalation year is finally over, dissertation finally submitted and now I’m enjoying these last few weeks of the my summer before it’s time to get back to Medicine. I’m pretty excited to get back to it! This year has definitely been the break I wanted and I hope I can return with one newfounded motivation.
New stationery always makes me happy. Love this little bundle from @Ryman, they have such a good variety to suit all your revision needs. Looking forward to being able to enjoy the Summer and then putting all these flashcards to good use when resuming Medicine next year! @silvine_uk @stabilouk
#ad I love that you can upload diagrams or photos to your flashcards on @Quizlet_uk. It’s really useful for learning anatomy or showing pathologies on imaging and that way you can have everything kept in one place under one deck of flashcards.
Not having the most fun right now working on essays. 1.5 out of 4 of the way there now! After this deadline the dissertation period begins so the essay-writing won’t quite be over until the end of the academic year! I have to say, I never quite appreciated how great it was that we didn’t have to write essays for medicine. Oh how much I’d rather have an OSCE right now...😅 I am loving using my new keyboard though, it’s pretty fun 💫
