Medical student?

Honestly, after being a medical student for a whole year, I still can't tell anything about it yet. I don't really know what differentiates me from other courses at this point of my studying year yet. Sure, you have to memorize things a lot, but other courses also have to do that.

So, there's nothing special about being a medical student...yet.

But this kind of thinking may also be caused by my lack of enthusiasm . I'm not really interested in becoming a doctor yet, so that may be why I don't hype anything up.

Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying being a doctor or a medical student is bad. It's great even. It forces you to grow up and think for yourself as well as for others. You also have to build your social skills so it is really good for people who think that they have social anxiety. Like, you want to be a doctor but you have social anxiety? No problem. Your 5 years of study will cure you of your problem and you can become a more outstanding member of society. Only if you want to fix yourself.

But there is also the problem with passing the interviews. blah. Just pray and if it's your rezeki you'll pass.

My teacher in secondary school said that, only the studious type of students can be a doctor.

I can say that that is wrong. Because if you only study, you don't have time to talk to people and I must say the number one important skill in becoming a doctor is communication skills.

I have also seen a houseman stuttering in front of the medical officer, not able to answer the MO's question and eventually humiliated in front of the patient and some medical students. Very embarrassing. I've made it my life goal not to turn into someone like him.

What I think I'm doing so far is, I'm trying to think like a doctor. You know, so that when I become a doctor, I don't have to refer to any book to figure out what I'm going to do next. I want to have that doctor reflex. hahahah

I'm also wondering, how can a doctor remember everything? Do they have good memory? Do they study all the time? Do they see a lot of patients?

But not to worry, because that one time, a doctor had to refer to a book to ask us questions. Meaning that, being a doctor, you don't have to remember everything THAT accurately. Just enough to not disturb your thinking process.

Have you ever experienced it? I'm betting a lot of times. When you're doing your homework, you really want to solve this problem, but you just can't remember one step of the calculation. Just one step and you can't solve the whole problem.

I think I'll stop here today. I just wanted to write about this because I watched a Chinese drama and the main character became a doctor. So it just triggered something in me. hahah, bye. btw, Jiangchen is so handsome and cute, i love him.
