Recently my relatives visited my home and we were having a nice chat about life with some funny conversations in between. Few minutes later, one of them showed me a report with some medicines from a hospital.
Relative: “Beta see this, should I continue to take these medicines or should I stop, when my health is completely fine now”
Me: “Oh I’m sorry uncle, but I’m still studying in 2nd year 😅”
Relative: “Accha, I thought you’d know about these by now, no problem”
Me: “hmm 🙂😅”
Relative: “Beta, and how much score you got in your first year final exams?”
Me: “70%”
Relative: “Not bad, but why your marks have been so low; you scored 95%+ in 10th and 12th, why this sudden decrease?”
Me: 🙃(awkward silence)
MEDICAL STUDENTS LIFE
Incident 2: A normal day with my mom be like,
Mom: “Why are you eating a lot of junk food these days, as a doctor you should be healthy, would you also recommend your patients the same?”
Me: 🙂
Mom: “And get a haircut as well, you don’t look like a doctor with this haircut and beard, you should be disciplined”.
Me: Ok 👍
Incident 3: Meeting old friends be like,
Friends: “Ohh bhaiii aagye, Dr sahab kaise ho, ambani bnjaoge aap to, hum sab ko yaad hi kha rkhoge”
Me: 😮💨
“People often think being a medical student is incredibly extraordinary, but it’s just a small part of my life. There’s so much more to me beyond my studies. I wish people understood a few things about pursuing an MBBS degree.”
A topper may become average student.
Syllabus is 10 times vast than in 10–12th.
Many people enter depression in this phase due to peer pressure.
To prescribe medicines, you need atleast 2–3 years experience even after doing MBBS.
Money is not the only thing you get here.
Personal life shouldn’t be mixed with professional life.
