You see, most people don't realize how medicine and surgery is until they experience it themselves....

My colleague mowah has told u just the academics that go with it, he didn't tell you anything about the responsibilities that flow with it....

Do you want to talk about the lectures (from 8am-6pm everyday, no break, sometimes some profs can hold lectures at 10pm, and you won't say crap) the practicals (during preclinical) and the ward rounds/clinics (during clinical)....

What of the crazy exams, answering 800 objective questions in 3hrs, then coming back that same day to answer all 17essay questions..... Even before that, you write exams nearly every month.....

During ward rounds, you are abused, castigated, told that you can never make it in life, you can never be a doctor, in front of your patient....

Medicine, to me, is the toughest course ever, then we could mention others later


my role model dy tok you dy say na yamayama... I smell envy, boss leave dem alone day don't understand... I pray my father in heaven forgives dem for they know not wat dy r doing

Hierarchy of Doctors

Well, now that I’ve mentioned all the staffs that work in a hospital…..

Let me teach all of you the Hierarchy of Doctors:

1) House officers: These are the house boys (like me, lolzz). They are the first to be exposed to patients (even Ebola patients, lolzz), they are the ones that sleep in the hospital when on call. They are the ones that the registrars, nurses and other foooools always love to vent their frustration on…. And we swallow that bitter pill for one full year, before we swallow another NYSC pill for another year

2) REGISTRARS: During or after nysc, we write exams (primaries) to be admitted READ MORE

Medical Specialties

I cant sleep, i dont know why?
Am i depressed??
Is this the right path for me??
Or i still haven’t adapted to the circadian rhythm of a house boy??

Hmmmmmm….
Anyway, lets talk about the Medical Specialties!!!

1) Anaesthetiologists: they are always in the theatre, they assist the surgeons in giving the anaesthetic (a drug to paralyze and hypnotize the patient) and monitor the vital signs. They also do pre-op and post-op monitoring

2) Community health physicians: they believe in “prevention is better than cure” they are posted to primary health centres, give health talks on hygiene, immunization, family planning, etc…

3) Internal physicians: these are the physicians, they treat without surgery, they have their specialties, which we’ll discuss later

4) Otolaryngologists: they specialize in the ear, nose and throat, they are surgeons too

5) Ophthalmologists: these are also surgeons that specialize in eye diseases

6) Obstetricians/gynecologists: they specialize in women disorders. Obstetricians deals mainly with pregnant women

7) Pediatricians: they specialize in children only, how sweet!!!

8 ) Radiologists:More on specialties

truth is you don't have to be very intelligent to study medicine, you just need a retentive memory and must be ready to read hard like your life depends on it cuz the volume of work is enormous and can be overwhelming and exams will be coming at you regularly to keep you on your toes.

Hi everyone, I wanna study medicine but I don't know what to do,am not really scared about reading for the course because I know how to succeed with God, its all about smartness and I can read alot.,as well as plan a lot on how to read and at least get a pass mark.But am kind of afraid the way you people talk about it.And am more afraid of Jamb and Waec,they can frustrate with alot. I don't have a good retentive memory too but am good in read and understand, and I think am smart(smarter than a lot I have been with)but am not brilliant, all I do is read psychological signs of how to achieve things which I call smartness,and that's my secret to the little I have achieved.
I don't like the way reading medicine is generally in Nigeria, the way I hear you people get stressed a lot unnecessary and at the end of the day, while you are a doctor you prescribe wrong drugs, wrong suggestions and act dumb, and some are even obesed, I see some doctors and feel like how did this one become a doctor? Please I need your sincere advice, do you thinking should go abroad to study medicine? I actually wanto study medicine not because I love working in a hospital but because I need the knowledge and become a private health instructor, I wish to do this after either my postgraduate or my PHD, pls your sincere advise is needed.Thanks
how old are u now ma?

Medicine no be beans. As a dental surgery student, I had to steer clear of every form of destraction be it in form of friends or social media until I crossed 3rd MBBS.. My bulk of dental work which we did simultaneously with MB programme didn't help matters. My internal medicine and surgery (4th BDS/5th MB) dealt a greater blow on me and plunged me into depression even though I read for more 18hours a day (wheneva I didn't go for clinical postings..). But anyways, when I look at the destination, I know the toil is worth it #Dental surgeon
