⤷ 𝒎𝒚 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆 as a medical student

∘ 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒎𝒆: i’m a brazilian, 22 yo and it took me two and a half years to get into uni. i’m finishing my third year, going to my sixth semester. i’m the representative of my class and vice president of our graduation commission. i try to be the most organize because +

my routine is exhaustive so i always have to do things with antecedence. so, since i know some of you pretend to go to this path i decided to show my routine so you guys can feel how it is to be a medical student. hope you enjoy it

∘ 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒚 𝒖𝒏𝒊 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒔: it takes 6 years to finish the whole program and it’s like divided in three cycles: basics + clinical + internship. we have class almost everyday during all day, and during the day we have classic classes and the practical classes where +

we can actually practice medicine. we also go to places like hospitals to start to know how our life will be. each subject usually has more than one teacher and we have a lot of exams and paperworks during the semester. i actually spend more time at uni then on my own home.

∘ 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒊 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒔𝒐 𝒇𝒂𝒓: if you guys wants to know something about a specific subject just ask me

∘ 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒊’𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓: i’m really excited to have maternal and child health I bc pediatrics is a specialty i’m thinking about

∘ 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆 now i’ll start posting things like what i’ll have for the day or things i have to do

i have to organize my schedule for the semester bc i like to have in hands what i’m gonna do during the day but i’m tooooo lazy it’s sooooo many classes

first dayyyyy!!! i’m already at uni but in this pic u guys can see that i don’t have enough hands. i’ll have digestive system all day

well, i didn’t have “class” this morning. our teacher just explained how the semester will work and showed us some interesting videos but at the afternoon... we’ll have esophageal trauma

our class actually ended up early even tho we studied two titles during the afternoon then i went to the gym and now i’m trying to organize some things but the first day is always exhausting bc our brains are still a little lazy

prentending that i didn’t stay awake till anos 2am and now i have to stay at uni till probably 6pm... this morning i just had a little introduction about how we should handle patients with issues in the digestive system and now i’m hanging at my friend’s place waiting for lunche

hey!!! so i arrived at home 4 pm it was a good day actually, i had 3 different classes with two different teachers but everything about the digestive system. now i’ll organize some materials that i got from my vets

and idk if u guys would like to now but this is how i organize myself during the class: if i have the slides my teacher will use i open it on my computer and on word i write everything down (my thoughts, doubts, what my teacher is saying...)

just out of curiosity... which specialty would u guys give me considering what u know about me (yep these are two pics of me listening to my own heart... i was studying for my semiology’s exam)

organizing my schedule while watching my showssss, after i finish i’ll show u guys

that’s how my schedule looks like: it’s all the classes, exams i’ll have during the semester and it’s A LOT OF classes

already at uni and totally not ready to have psychiatry all day long i mean it’s a nice subject but sometimes it’s too much

the worst day of my week will probably be monday i didn’t like psychiatry and the teacher is just......... annoyingggggg

i have to read more than 100 pages of the psychiatry’s books for next week class somebody do it for me

pediatrics starts tomorrow imagine how excited i am i can’t wait to have babies as patients

i had wound care this morning and the teacher is the cutest person ever!!!! she’s already one of my favs but today she only explained how the semester will work so i’m home really early but at the afternoon i’ll have pediatrics can’t wait

doing some coffee now very strong to see if it gives me the courage to do psychiatry reading

time for some pediatrics arizona and karev please bless me with your wisdom

my classmates are just the WORSEEEEEEEEE i’m trying to help them but it’s impossible bc they don’t answer a single question about what i’m asking

i have to ready like almost 10 articles about breast feeding for tomorrow but i’m exhausted adisson montgomery please let me borrow your brain for one day

of course i didn’t read all the articles yesterday bc my sleep is more important so reading what i can before class starts

one of my bff leaves near uni so i’m getting some rest here till my afternoon class

cutie and comfy outfit for todayyyy

my day was extremely busy i had class from 8am till almost 5pm arrived home and have like 2838483 tings to do, and still have a meeting about our graduation at 20:30 i’m EXHAUSTED

it’s 11:35 pm and i’m finally home i can’t believe it seriously and it’s only the first week... i’m exhausted, with a headache, all my body is hurting, and i still have to shower and organize my thursday so yeah this routine is excruciating i just want to lay down and cry

hey guys!!!! so it’s thursday and i’ll have digestive system all day, and after my lectures it’s gym time and after that... it’s time to watch alex karev leaving us forever. it’s going to be a loooooong day

inside the digestive system we have nutrition i’m having this lecture now it’s interesting but the teacher is taking 4 hours to give a 30 min lecture and this is just annoying bc she’s talking about the same things like 10 times

came home to have lunch but since i got one hour before it i cleaned my room and know getting some rest before i have to come back to uni gonna have surgery of the digestive system all afternoon

seriously i have 1929338 to do and my plan was arrive from uni and try to do as much as i could before gym but guess what???? i’m watching the good place fighting to keep my eyes open i’m a mess

guys read this and if u want to talk i’m here

my digestive system class today was at the hospital, we visit a patient and i learned A LOT about acute pancreatitis it was a good morning. now we have to study this case and present to our whole class and teacher next week (we have to wear all white for the hospital)

i’m finally on the last chapter of my psychiatry’s reading i can’t believe i’m reading this during my whole week and i’m finally finishing it

so i was a little anxious bc of my psychiatry’s class tomorrow morning bc the teachers were all about u need to read this so u gonna ask questions but it was really light and interesting and i learned a lot!!!!

just had lunch and now drinkin my coffee and getting some rest for the second part of my dayyyy

this semester is so many classes, so much to read, toooooo many paperworkssss i’m already so tired

medical students’ talks

ok time to get my shit together and get things done

i have gynecology’s practice today and i’m a little nervous bc i don’t like this area too much

so updates about gynecology’s practice: i kind like it??? but only bc our patient was reallyyyyy nice and she was pregnant () and the teacher is AMAZING!!!! and we will have a class about normal birth this afternoon i’m excited

first: the class about normal birth was everything..........
second: i started to organize my notes and i’ll start to study bc i cant let things accumulate

kick update: organizing the materials i got from my vets while watching the good place (i’m on the last season already btw)

i truly can’t stand this nutrition class........ it’s so annoying

the worse thing is group work seriously we have this presentation for tomorrow about acute pancreatitis and i’m doing almost the entire thing by myself I HATE THIS

u have so much to do and i’m so so so so tired )))))))))):

resume of my day
- had nutrition class during the morning
- this afternoon i had 3 classes about esophagus surgeries
- now i am at home (i arrived at 5pm) finishing our presentation for tomorrow which i practically did all alone
- going to the gym in one hour

going to the hospital, we’re gonna have one patient and after my group will do the presentation so wish m luck

the presentation was ok but the teacher is really getting to my nervous and was toooo hot at the hospital so i’m really tired and i still have class this afternoon ):

things i have to do or at least try today:
- study for my psychiatry’s presentation tomorrow
- study depression and anxiety bc our teachers will ask questions
- study the classes i had so far on the digestive system
- learn some classes i had on gynecology bc the teacher SUCKS

me not wanting the class canceled but wanting the psychiatry’s classes canceled

the presentation went well and the patient was really easy to talk so everything was fine
i still have psychiatry’s class this afternoon but we are waiting to see if they will cancel our classes

already answered to the clinical cases my teacher posted and now i’m gonna start studying everything i had so far and wait for the new classes on our online platform

finished already everything my teachers sent now i don’t what to do but i just signed this thing it’s like netflix but with online classes and exercises to medical students guess gonna watch some classes

online classes with my teachers are just the funniest and i love they are trying to do everything they can to teach us

my teacher just sent a class about neonatal resuscitation!!!!! gonna watch it while i wait for grey’s. arizona robbins is really jumping out of me today (please this gif is me in 6 years)

i finished watch this class today bc last night i got so involved with grey’s but it was a really good class and i love it!!!! i had to this exercise to send to my teacher and now i’m waiting for my another class, it’s from the digestive system (about helicobater pylori)

my psychiatry’s teacher sent so much stuff to do for tomorrow that is giving me anxiety like let’s focus on mental health luv

i did all the stuff he sent for us to do it FINALLLLYYYYY now i can go back to organize my classes and study the digestive system

gonna exercise, take a shower and study digestive system

i was pretty excited to have pediatrics but my teachers are just sending non sense activities for us to do and i’m hating it

i have nutrition class at 9am and i don’t want it
also, i have surgery at the afternoon so i’m winning

since my wifi is just awful this afternoon i’m gonna go to my dad’s office to watch my classes (i have general surgery today) it will be good bc there’s nobody there, and i won’t have my family coming into my room or talking loud so i’ll be able to pay attention

i wasn’t able to finish typing my nutrition’s classes today bc they are to big and i’m toooo tired to stay up late but i did a lot today so, gonna go to best, get some rest so i can wake up early, finish this and reaaaaaally start studying bc i have an exam next week

my exam of friday is about the digestive system. we have to study 3 parts: nutrition, medical clinic and surgery. it’s 115 pages plus book, articles... so gonna be tweeting a little less this week

still didn’t finish my first reading of the whooole content just 2 classes left but gonna start now and try to finish before lunch so at afternoon i can pay attention to the most important parts like treatment and stuff

so my exam of the digestive system was on friday and i got 60/65 what it means i did preeeeetty good. now i’m just doing the activities the teachers from the others subjects are sending

already did 3/4 of my psychiatry’s homework and this afternoon we have our exam that the teacher just told us about it last night so probably is gonna be something easy

time for my psychiatry’s exam

i did pretty well this week is light bc we won’t have classes on thursday and friday i’m just going to relax and watch siren

totally not in the mood to watch my gynecology’s classes bc the teachers are like so messy they keeping send activities for us to do and it’s soooo fucking annoying bc we don’t have this kind of stuff when we are have normal classes

i have peds class rn and i’m definitely gonna leave the teacher on mute bc damn...... i’m so sad about this because i was soooo excited to have this subject

gonna try to organize my life in ped/obgyn u guys wish me luck bc this bitch right here is gonna need it

just did this active our teacher left about sleep routine and he left us a test that u do and find out what kind of sleeper u are and i’m trulyyyy a morning person
according to my teacher most of the surgeons are morning persons i mean SIGNS PEOPLEEEE

it’s been really hard to get my shit together in peds/obgyn bc the teachers are so messy they are sending a lot of activities without explaining the subjects so i have to learn 90% by myself.. i’m trying but damn 911 sounds just so much better rn

i’m back!!!!! i have psychiatry’s today and our subjects are eating disorders and personality disorders

i’ll finally have a decent pediatric’s class today my day just keeps getting better

y’all!!!!! i have surgical treatment of pancreatitis this afternoon i’m so excited bc last week i didn’t have class bc of the holidays and i’m really missing digestive system and specially, the surgery part

i’m really enjoying my classes of the digestive system this week. i never thought i would like this subject this much maybe it’s bc makes me think about mer? maybe... but it’s so fun to study I LOVE IT HERE
having pancreatitis again today but now it’s the clinical part

today my class is about surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer

too much new information for a quarantine afternoon

i had three different classes about pancreatic cancer and surgeries you can do in those cases but it took the whole afternoon and it was a loooot of new information i feel like my brain is melting

my morning class is about liver today. we already finished pancreas so... it’s time for the liver. this teacher is amazing so it’s going to be a good day, i think

ok my class is over for now and it was really good. i’m gonna try and read the book chapter about it now because during the afternoon we are going to make a discussion about the subject we had this morning.

today i have psychiatry and the subject of the day is psychosis it’s very interesting even tho i’m not a fan of psychiatry

i totally gave up on obgyn so now i’m studying digestive system bc i’m liking this subject more than i thought i would

have class about gallbladder surgeries in 25 min. honestly thursday afternoon is my fav moment of the week, i love these classes of general surgery i’m having and the teacher is the sweetest and also very good.

iron deficiency anemia

my fav class of the week: GENERAL SURGERY today my teacher will be talking about liverrr

morning class: cirrhosis
afternoon class: hepatitis
love this for me plus both of them will be with this amaaaazing teacher i was dying to watch her lecturesss

my morning class was during the whoooole morning i’m exhausted now i have class again probably will take the whole afternoon

finished organizing the classes i had today and now gonna take a shower so i can start doing this ped/obgyn thing and i just know it’s gonna take a lot of time

part one: pediatrics
since i take notes and do everything in my computer when we finished having the classes for like one exam i put them all together like to study
>> now have to do the same with obgyn since pediatrics and obgyn here it’s like together

part two: obgyn
CANNOT BELIEVE I FINALLY FINISH IT

ok i have to do a little studying bc i have an exam tomorrow im not worried bc we can look at our materials and we really dont have much to studyyy

finished my second peds/obgyn’s exam and i thought i’d be free for the rest of the day but i have two psychiatry’s assignments to do. they’re due to 5/16 but i’m gonna do it now so i won’t have to worry about it later

finished typing my psychiatry’s class and it looks cutie. btw i have an exam this afternoon so i should probably do a little studying

soooo, i have my second psychiatry’s exam in 20 minutes, just 20 questions so it will probably be really fast and i think i’m gonna start to study digestive system just bc it’s my favorite subject of the semester

finished my exam. it took 30 minutes only bc i was waiting to check my answers with my bff. the best thing about the online classes is the online exam bc u study but. don’t have the pression on your shoulders bc u can look into your materials in any time

have class about autism and ADDH in babies/kids in 20 minutes love it here plus this teacher is really good and so nice

this morning i’m having colorectal cancer and it’s going to be long >>> so this class has 16 pages and my teacher is still on the page 5, its been 1h20 since he started im gonna die istg

now he gave us a 3 MINUTES break his lucky is that he’s veeeery good otherwise i wouldn’t be watching anymore

my class ended at 11:50 and i’m so tired im not even hungry and i have class again at 13:30 istg my brain is melting welcome to med life peopleeeee

my classes from today are over!!!!! but tomorrow will be even more exhausted and i have a lot to do now so my fav thing to do it’s put some show to watch while doing it bc since it’s just typing and organizing won’t affect my concentration

had classes all day yesterday and today (digestive system) and i just finished the abstract of all classes i have to study to my next exam (123 pages) nowww gonna see the chapters and articles i have to read

does anybody wanna change places?????
ps: these books i won as gifts from my dad bc they’re really expansive so i’d just read the pdf or got them in the library, the one in the top i won when i was accept, and the other one when i started my clinical rotation

doing all peds/obgyn and psychiatry’s assignments i have from this week and the next one so i can dive into digestive system till the day of my exam

so i just finished read all the pages. that’s basically how i study. i read the pages and some book’s chapter when i judge important and after i look it up questions from exams from another semesters so i try to solve them and see what i need to study more or pay more attention +

and then i make little notes with things that are important and i need to know like for life (diagnosis, treatment, symptoms)... since i’m doing my exams from home i’m not reading everything like 1000 times like i usually do bc i can look into my notes and whatever

guys i did my second exam of the digestive system. i did pretty well (63/64) but i was so nervous even tho i could look into my materials bc i didn’t study the way i should have. i just couldn’t, my mind couldn’t focus. and i was feeling so guilty about but i talk to my friends +

and they said it’s ok, u won’t be at the top of our games 100% of the time. that i shouldn’t put too much pressure, specially during this hard time (pandemic and stuff). just saying this bc i wanna keep this thread real, don’t want you guys to think that medicine is +

magical and beautiful all that time. bc it isn’t. it’s impossible to be productive and stay focused, specially now, at home. that’s it.
