Evolution of a medical student

MS1: wow what did I do in college I know literally nothing. Next year will be so much better because at least I’m finally learning stuff that I’m gonna use for the rest of my life!

MS2: the workload literally doubled? I’m already taking a board exam? Step 1 kill me pls. Next year will be so much better because I’ll actually be in the hospital and talking to patients and playing doctor!

MS3: wow I still know literally nothing, I think I might actually know less than before, and everyone treats us like the actual scum of the earth why am I here again? Next year will be better because I won’t be a stupid third year and I can do electives in the field I actually wanna go into!

MS4: fucking stay tuned.

5 sites every med student should know about!

Folllow my studygram:Studyspiration

When it comes to medicine, understanding the principles is key, however it might be quite difficult to understand even though you attend lectures and read all the chapters, which is pretty normal since most of the times neither professors or text books make any great sense - therefore these different sites, or youtube channels can help you out a great deal. Here are a collection of some that I have found useful and that pretty much everyone I know makes use of. 

1. Dr. Najeeb (https://www.drnajeeblectures.com/). You will often find medical students talking about this guy. He is probably what would be called a superhero between med students and that is for a good reason. His website features tons of videos that explains pretty much everything. He does it in an interactive way where he engages the audience and draws on the whiteboard so that you can follow along. This does cost money - however if you can split the bill between some of your friends, or you can use some other students login (if they are that generous ofcourse) 

2. Kenhub (https://www.kenhub.com/). Now this website is amazing for studying anatomy or the central nervous system (I think they are working on expanding their content, but this is what they have for now). It is very good because it gives you a simple overview over what you need to learn. The content on here consists of videos, articles and many quizesses which I loved during anatomy.

This website costs a monthly fee (there are also other options for payment), however you can split this with some friends as well, I shared my account with my study buddy. 

3. Khan academy (https://da.khanacademy.org/). You have probably stumbled across some of their videos on youtube, however they also have a website where all of these videos have been compiled and they have made up this “interactive” system where you gain points for finishing videos. this is for FREE. Yes you heard right free. 

4. Anatomy zone (Youtube channel) Now this is almost an essentiel for every semester that you do. In almost all of your courses you need a little bit of anatomy, and thankfully this youtube channel has got you covered. It is soo good! I mostly make use of this channel, because honestly they just do it so well and its free. 

5. Armando Hasudungan (Youtube channel). This very talented artist, makes all the medical concepts become illustrative and thereby making the understanding of the principles that we cannot see become more easy. 

Study hard, study smart and stay motivated, 

Love,

Researchers at King’s College London found that the drug Tideglusib stimulates the stem cells contained in the pulp of teeth so that they generate new dentine – the mineralised material under the enamel.

Teeth already have the capability of regenerating dentine if the pulp inside the tooth becomes exposed through a trauma or infection, but can only naturally make a very thin layer, and not enough to fill the deep cavities caused by tooth decay.

But Tideglusib switches off an enzyme called GSK-3 which prevents dentine from carrying on forming.

Scientists showed it is possible to soak a small biodegradable sponge with the drug and insert it into a cavity, where it triggers the growth of dentine and repairs the damage within six weeks.

The tiny sponges are made out of collagen so they melt away over time, leaving only the repaired tooth.

Some say that in medicine, it eventually gets easier. It does, but it’s not the entire truth. • It gets easier to not feel as bad for prioritizing work over your friends and family. It gets easier to live in a state of chronic sleep deprivation. It gets easier to manage feeling like you’re always a bit short of knowledge or skills. It gets easier to carry the increasing weight of responsibilities. It gets easier to face the constant hardships that medicine throws at you. • So yes, as much as it gets relatively easier, things also get absolutely harder, and every step of the way will bring its own set of challenges. I can’t honestly say that I was expecting all of this before being accepted in medicine. But there’s also not a single day where I’m not grateful for being where I am, for being a medical student and loving it, for being an almost resident, for having a small impact on people’s lives now and for potentially changing my patients’ lives in the future… and I’m so excited for all the new challenges that are about to come my way.
