5 ADVICES IF YOU WANT TO STUDY MEDICINE

  

Medicine is one of the most beautiful and incredible careers that can be taken. The idea of being a doctor is usually very attractive to many, and is that the fact of being the savior, guider and guardian of the welfare of others automatically makes you look like a super hero.

But my friend, one thing is attraction, and another very different is love, and yes you need love ... Much love. And as a medical student, I want to share a little of my experience with you.

 My idea is not demotivating, of course, but quite the opposite, and is to give you a series of tips, which I wish someone would have told me much earlier.

So let's start ...

5 TIPS IF YOU WANT TO STUDY MEDICINE!

1. PREPARE MENTALLY 

Yes, dear friend, we must prepare mentally for what is coming, and who knows, anally it would not be otherwise, a tube of petroleum jelly would not hurt at all, ok, seriously, throughout the race, we will see the destruction, pestilence and the most susceptible side of the human being, which, in certain cases, can overwhelm us and make us wonder, What that hell of career did we choose?What is more, the race itself is a pure requirement, physically and mentally we will be at the limit, and if you are an atheist, then, God will be your most recurrent figure in many instances. But calm, all the effort, suffering and fatigue, will be worth.

2. LEARN TO READ

Yes partner, you will say, friend, I can read, I learned M with A in Kinder, my mother's scolding did not pass in vain, no, I do not mean that, in medicine, you must know what you are reading, analyze it, feel it, taste it, in short, make it part of you if possible, in many instances you will see your anatomy book and say, no, this anatomist was smoked, and they went to mars, in that case, reopen it and reread the paragraph , as many times as necessary, until finally, you can understand. I always recommend to be predisposed to learn, because if you look with suspicion the book, I for sure, that you can read it a thousand times, but even the title will stay engraved 😉.

3. CREATE A HABIT

A very important habit and that will always help you in class, and exams, is the habit of reading, the human mind can store a lot of information, but that does not mean that the more time you spend stuck to a book, that information will automatically go to brain, so try not to bomb her in a day of 300 issues. Usually, with 2 hours of study a day that you set aside, it's okay, choose a schedule, and try to use a calendar, and choose a date, for example; On Monday, August 13 from 7 to 9 PM, I will read about the senior member. Make it something daily, until without realizing it, it will be a habit, this will unconsciously make your brain be able to store much more information, thus achieving greater performance in your classes, and the day of the partial you will not need the tube Vaseline 😂.

4. SLEEP

There will be times when your face will reflect more dark circles than you want to live because the sleeplessness could become excessive, but let me tell you, that the best medicine is sleep, studies show that sleep is more important than eating. as far as the physiological needs are concerned. 8 hours are recommended but that minimum rest 7 is fine, sleep 2 hours, no, it is not healthy, and in fact, it is counterproductive, you are more likely to lower your physical, mental, and with it, academic performance.

5. MAKE EXERCISE

Yes, even if you think it's a waste of time, and you better invest those hours of physical activity in studying, well, no, in fact, physical activity improves your performance, even if you walk 20 minutes a day. With this, you improve your psyche, you relax, you help your circulatory system, you define your calves, and you yield more at the time of the study.
