Nigerians and copy cat.

Why should this make front page. The original writer is writing about American medical schools.
First year medical school in Nigeria is very different. Americans first have to obtain a first degree before medical school, then proceed for a 4 years Med. School.

In Nigeria we do 6 years straight. This article has no relevance to Nigerian medical schools/ students.
The standard text book for pathology is not Robbins (that's for US schools) and our first years don't do H&P until 4th.
They don't read "First Aid - textbook", don't interact with nurses, they can't even relate to this article.

An article that provides realistic, experience expectations and survival strategy is what is more appropriate. Advice on how to stay on target, pass their basic science courses, socialize, develop good study habits.

Copy and paste with no relevance to the intended readers; and gbam it makes front page.

Interesting!!
I tink the Op is not really wise copying and pasting everything! I was surprise seeing those stuff in fIrst year Med school.. My First year na Physic, chem etc I do o! The Op should should be one of those jambites or Med aspirant!

So all these because of studying of medicine

Thats cuts across medicine in most countries but though it looks eerily familiar with medicine in the USA

Not necessarily medical school, any serious student in any science discipline will go through the same routine in order to excel.

Some of the things you stated are facts but somewhat embellished. There are always easier ways of doing anything.

Robins is the standard pathology text in Nigeria and most parts of the world. Which other text is better than it? Please don't tell me Harsh Mohan, those indians know how to twist academic facts. Just go and read their definition of neoplasm and you will hate it. All the same, harsh is good for revision.

as a medical student i have some to add too
1. you will learn to delete what you read for the previous exam and have some head space for the next exam
2. you will find our you start to label every part of the animal you are eating or cutting
3. you will learn to spell the medical terms correctly and you will still be confused of the pronounciation and spellings if it's right or wrong
4. you will want to know the causes of any symptoms of sickness you have and the exact name but you will be scared of treating yourself

Y go through all the stress when a sure guy at Aba, Lagos or Onitsha will just run connections and make millions with little stress?
I respect doctors but i feel once u enter med sch u hardly live 4 urself till death. U live for others. Politics, Business, Lecturing or Being a computer guru is better than all these stress except u're cut out 4 it.
There are better ways to make impact & get kudi than these. God bless d doctors.

That's the very "why" we are not same all!
by the way the medical life is the ideal life!
life is not a self-serving system, it's a system serving others!
The medical life teaches you to assume the full concept of life and what God ordained it to be!!
Medicine is a life that expresses what Love and sacrifice holds!
Jesus lived healing people and serving humanity, he died sacrificing himself for it to show the current and thereafter full concept of life and what God would have it to be!!
So, Life/living is a service of love to humanity, medicine is exuding this Love in the appearance of compassion and empathy, assuming God's place on the line of Humanity and divinity!!!
it's not given to all to become it,just a few!! and it's a privilege to be in a position to serve God and humanity!!

Medicine... My dream! My 1st love embarassed
When you graduate, you'll see there is nothing much there. Your teachers and senior colleagues will keep lying to you about the glamour of it all. You'll know the truth when you graduate and hustling starts.
