The Phase of Preparation. Friday, March 16, 2012

The hard cold reality of being in medical school really hits you when you reach semester 5. After being in medical school for 2 and a half years, you would think that we should be all prepared for all the stress and workload to come, turns out none of us were ever really that prepared for it.


It demands a lot from us students, and yet lecturers tell us all the time that this is just the start of our troubles. And yet, we all knew about how hard it was going to be the moment we took our oaths. But I suppose it all didn't quite hit us back then. Back then, it was just hey I'm still a new student, it's all good, I've got time and years to come. Then time flies by without us realising it and here we are with no longer the excuse of having time and feeling comforted by that thought. Here we are with lecturers reminding us that we've reached the point where we are about to enter into the clinical phase, the point where we should be knowing all our stuff by now, or most of it at least.

It's demanding, stressful, and tiring. But hey, it's part of the requirements.

So here's to hardcore mugging. *clink*
