You know you’re a medical student when… (part 1)

Salam alayk...

Dah lama nak post benda ni sebenarnya. Mula2 baca kat blog Kak Zaatil. Kemudian Ilhami pun post kat blog dia. Nampaknya, benda ni macam 'mesti' dipostkan dalam blog semua budak medik... Haha~

Ianya satu 'muhasabah' yang akan menyedarkan anda bahawa anda adalah seorang budak medik...

You know you’re a medical student when…

1. You take forever explaining to people how long you'll be in school for, and realise you’ll get a medical doctor title the same time your friend gets a PhD doctor title.

- betul2.

2. You get hung-over from work on the weekdays, and from alcohol/intoxicating substances (to try to forget the pain of medical school) on the weekends.

- intoxicating substances on weekends are shopping and foods!!!

3. You contemplate anything between dropping out and suicide after you finish each exam, even before knowing the results.

- bimbang kot2 kena repeat year :(

4. The only people you like/adore/have a crush on/fall in love with are your colleagues/seniors/juniors.

- haha, ade ke???

5. You get depressed and emotional just thinking about how bad a doctor you’ll become in a few years.

- dush!!! apakah???

6. You equate/try to relate each doctor/medical staff you meet with a character in House, ER, Scrubs or Grey’s Anatomy. The wannabe is Dr. Chase..becoz of his accent!

- doktor yang macam pelakon atau model ade la...

7. You often mumble to yourself, “OMG! Am I supposed to know that?” as soon as you see or hear about some disease/symptom/sign that you completely have no clue about. Then you blame it on the medical school for not teaching you that.

- xde la nak blame medical school. blame diri sendiri la sebab xtau pasal benda tu. Bukan ke self-learning???

8. The sound of a van reversing with a beep makes you look around for someone’s bleep.

- illusion ke hallucination ni???

9. You answer every question with, “Hmm (pretending to think for a second), I don’t know.” And you know the most correct answer is, “It depends, sir.”

- nampak macam berfikir, tapi hakikatnya xtau langsung!

10. You diagnose every single abnormality on yourself/family/friends as a life-threatening condition. You think the tiny haematoma on your finger is a risk for PE.

- ha'ah, cervical lymphadenopathy due to infection disangka NPC

11. You have a crush on each senior medical student or doctor who teaches you something (of the opposite sex most of the time).

- owh, camne boleh tau ni??? :blush:

12. You have too many free pens, notebooks, pamphlets, peak flow meters, blood glucose monitors etc. You know the drug reps are trying to buy you.

- braun je pernah bagi free pen

13. You watch House and ER, and think you can score in the exams and get through medical school. Wrong, only Dr.Wikipedia helps.

- kadang2 senang ingat sesuatu penyakit bile tengok dlm cerita

14. You instantly feel that you want to bang your head against the wall whenever someone says “You’re a medical student? You must be very smart then!”, because it’s an unbearable accusation.

- malu betul nak mengaku medical student

15. You have bouts of breaking down, screaming or crying in the last month and wished that you were not a medical student, yet still continue the course as you have no idea what you would do if you quit. Besides knowing you don’t have enough brains to do anything else either.

- boleh jadi surirumah sepenuh masa tak???

16. You feel there is something wrong if you don’t have an exam coming up.

- asyik kena assess je...

17. You often suddenly wake up in the middle of the night with palpitations and sweating, thinking it’s the day of your exams/OSCE/portfolio review.

- stress betul pikir pasal exam!

18. The only pyjamas you have and want to wear are scrubs.

- scrubs = pyjamas??? haha~ tapi teringin nak pakai scrubs macam dalam Grey's Anatomy punye

19. You think the 6-8 glasses of water recommended daily means coffee.

- yeah, pagi n malam mesti pekena kopi atau teh

20. You evilly wish that someone will get hurt/collapse on the train/in any public place so you can do first aid/resuscitation.

- hari tu ade orang dapat seizure depan mata, tapi aku lari pulak. xberani lagi wo~

To be continued...

Maido ari, jaa~
