For aspirants and those who are yet to make decision on whether to study medicine,

so far since my journey into medical, I won't say it's totally a smooth one. There are lots of up and down, the joy, happiness, the disappointments, stress and various challenges, I and my colleague encountered.
Medicine has a way of making you look like a mediocre(obviously most of us were the best in our former schools). Most of us were told stories about how students who were on 7.0 in their first year were sent packing out of medical schools. We were told disheartening stories about how people who after years of utme attempts were asked to withdraw because they couldn't cope.
We have heard lots of them, but we don't allow fear to conquer us, we have always offered word of encouragement to one another. We believe that since we have started the journey, we must finish it.
Some of you have various motivation for choosing medicine e.g prestige, job security, peer pressure, love for children, wealth, love for the sick and others but please make sure that your reasons or motivations for choosing medicine should be able to keep you motivated throughout your stay in med school because believe me med school is really tough if not extremely stressful, you spend 6 to 7years of your life reading, writing series of tests and participating in academic activities. You tend to have a reduced to zero social life, you are always glued to your books throughout the day. I can't count the number of sleepless night, You read through out the night till dawn, because there are loads of material to read, a medical student will understand what I mean.
Motivation keeps you fired throughout your stay in med school and makes you forget about the whole stress.
Also learn how to set goals and priorities as it will enable you to make good use of your time and ensure proper time management. Believe me, the greatest enemy of medical students is Time.

And to my esteemed colleagues i.e doctors in training, I salute your doggedness and your zeal to push on in face of adversaries. I respect all of you, especially those who braved all odds and make it this far despite all the fears and insult(I remember a certain lecturer telling my colleague in front of the whole class, that he had no brain and ought not to be med school)and "shoe size scores" .
Special gratitude to Dr lomaxx, I read some of his comments and observations, they were quite helpful.
Lastly I will tell you this, "no motivation is totally good or evil". Either your motivation is to acquire wealth, help others, job security or to treat the sick, it's definitely not evil or good but use your motivation to help humanity, by so doing you leave the world a better place than you met it.

haters can keep bleeping

iRepNaija1:


You're the one quoting stats you can't back up and then calling me ignorant? Okay, "medic."

lol...ok.. check any Embryology textbook of medic.. u see it plain plain there.. am using saddler...

iRepNaija1:


Oh gosh. Some person on the internet, where people lie and constantly exaggerate, claims himself or herself to be medic and I should believe it.

My point still stands.

belief it or not..none of my business.. only wana give a signal to ur ignorance..

Ivf lord..

0b100100111:




No mind dem!

They won't give Kudos to IVF or Surrogates

u saw them doing ivf ..
u sound so specific abt ur claim..
ivf ure praising has a poor survival rate.

not disputing ur claim but dont let the talk of ivf in ur mind overshadow there claim that God made fertility possible.
its there belief..

#shallom

iRepNaija1:


You need to provide links before you spout out statistics. You could've made this up.

. am a medic..i know wat am talking abt.
20% survival rate to b precise

Xda59:

2/10? That stats must have been gotten from your village.

am a medic bro..i know what am saying..
20% survival to be specific...

Sniper12:
We all know its IVF. Hail the scientists instead

i respect science o..

IVF ure referring to has survival of 2/10 though.

After my secondary school, I decided to go to a medical school. .At the entrance, we were asked to re-arrange the letter:- *PNEIS*. to form the name of an important body part which is most useful when active ..

hahahahh..
abeg o.

zionmade1:

mr man wat do u have to say about this particular one and stop shifting post. Jesus we believe in didnt go to ethiopia to heal sick people there so why should the man go to sokoto. Using ur empirica analysis explain why this madman is no longer mad and stop shifting post

many of this atheist knows the truth ..
they just wana be logical / scientific with the principles of God behind miracle which dont work like that.

yet they ll never take time and go out for this kind of research personally so as to help there life in case Yahweh ended up been the final way forward

but prefer online argument and make fun out of it.

well their life ..
they are on their own...

edicied:

It might be another stroy

SMH..
like my mind is telling me u just love logical fact that hold no water..

not saying ure an atheist but SMH.
My prob abt athiest is that they will always have a double mind concerning anything Christian exploit but yet they wont make bold step to do the needful by privately investigating the scenario to help there misbelief but rather argue online with christian that has little logical insight and probably win the argument ..

u MIGHT b diff though.

edicied:

No, they are saying the Mad man is the one they use to see no one here is making reference to the suppose healed man.

ok na.. are u trying to say that d picture of LG chairman attesting to this might be a photoshoped one..

Maybe i dont get u right as u said ure waiting for those who knows him to testity he was healed.

patiently waiting for seun and sonof1cifer with thier scientific reason behind this..

but i bet seun will say madness has time limit so it was coincidence to wen d prophet was praying.. patiently waiting to laugh abeg.. just watch

i checked the name..guess wat , i wasn't disappointed .. NCAN ..reporting from PH

Lordmavidon:

Thanks
But what r u actually saying, pls is it 4rm 300 and above cus i kn a guy wit 283 this yr and he'S SO sure of the course so pls just make it clear 2 me. And in my basic i took anatomy instead cus i heard that if u r nt an indigen U MUST PAY NO MATTER UR SCORE FOR MED SURG. But in jamb i tuk med surg
My waec's just C's and B's, frnds say they dont consider that so ...

u said u hd 292 and i said i see the light ..
ur friend with 283 too. good to go..

DONT HOLD ME WORD FOR WORD O..
AM NOT PART OF ADMISSION COMMITTEE
Maybe i should make it clear..
only those doing the admission statistic(admission board) knows the cut off they use and how they arrive weather waec was used or not.. nobody knows...but they requested for waec during screening ..nobidy knows weather it was part of calc exept admin board which was hidden to the public
last year cut off wasnt known. everybody are just tryna guess.

Am just saying the talk of 280 as last yr cut off.. cant say much coz post ume 280 was the general cut off for merit @2015.
just saying maybe thats where the rumour of 280 comes..
u know how rumour spread na..


BASIC STUDY
1.. Guy stop am..better stop that lie from the pit of hell..
i can swear that out of 28 that was admiited in 2015 basic program..15 from rivers and 13 non indigens ... non of us paid a dime...who are those ur friend that told u non indigene must pay.. now they made u change to anatomy..nawa o
half of the list was indigen on merit..
..remaining half was non indigen with merit scores...

dnt paint uniport black o..
i dnt say its corruption free but uniport is trying to reward excellence esp MBBS admission.

IamLukas:
I sent you a mail sir.

yeAp. saw it..i replied yersterday

Lordmavidon:
Hi everyone, am a medical student aspirant. To God be the glory, after completing my basic program in uniport, i scored 276 in my first JAMB, This yr and i was feelin i wouldnt make it to med surg but JAMB canceled it and i was stil scared . I read like neva b4 and went for the exam, emerging wit 292!
So my question is am i there already cus according to som friends in uniport the cut off is 280 4 last yr? Thanks for ur contributn

280 ..not sure that was last year sha coz
my time it was 280 post ume for merit list.. maybe that was where 280 rumour came from. although sha o.. hmm

but with 292 ..seeing d light... ur waec result nko..anyway


tempted to ask how was ur basic result.. u can be sure of MBBS admission with ur basic score after doing some private statistic.. uniport basic dont do wayo.. ur ginger earn u ur shot without denial. so transparent wit MBBS list ..dnt know for other course.

harrychuksx:

alright bro... thanks a bunch.
which school are you aspiring for?or you r a doc already? mine is unical

JESU am in 200L Sir

harrychuksx:

it well bro.. that's why one has to know the modalities that schools use in admission before diving into them..... that score and his waec grade could have given him admission on merit list in another school... bro seems uniport uses combination of ya jamb and o'level?

cant just say.. dey never aired out there mode..

maybe a thorough survey of those admitted will give an insight.... but with A&B @waec and 300 in jamb cant b denied na..haaa ..we go carry den go court jor

beside uniport quota has been increased from 100 to 130...
.saw that on mdcn web also confirmed from current yr1 guys..


issue of combine waec... i ll confim from a friend and update asap

harrychuksx:

drajjay:
I can't really tell .to be frank I don't know the strategy for admissions since they proscribed post ume.But personally I think the jamb score is quite low for medicine.

snr colleague... weldone ma..how's path & pharm

Uniport Basic program just relaease there form for 2017/2018

i discov doing d Basic/predegree programm is cool..that if u can stand firm to be top 40 amidst 1000 Mbbs aspirant @ after d study program.
its a good way to go too.. coming from straight jamb sucks this days..

charleymed:
Lol.
I used only last anatomy and at times i used Richard Snell for the clinical stuffs (those boxes).
The lesson I learnt is this, in Med school, you don't actually need too many books... Just make very good use of the one you have. Last was my best friend when people were busy carrying massive books like Keith Moore et al, about.
I read last to the point that I lost count, I am talking about over 35 times. And most of the time, I didn't use atlast and it helped solidified my imaginative abilities. See, at that point... I knew that anatomy was in my blood, and I was not scared of anything, not even getting a distinction. Immediately I finished my anatomy exams, i knew that a distinction was imminent, and I didn't shake a bit.

The lesson is this. You can achieve anything when you commit yourself thoroughly to what you do.
My regret is that, my love for anatomy distracted me from giving much attention to other courses, but at the end. I was happy.

.35 times.. jesu

lol... ure right boss..sticking to one is cool, but my combo help me understand better with ease and b a good stuff mover..
just like wen i read liver with charausia, went to last , i flow well with some added point..

If u read surface markings of liver with last anat alone , it isnt enough, u might b surprise wen i tell u tinz last didnt mention as i merge it with charausia surface markings , it makes my friends whu read last alone become dump while we do d oral talk of anatomy.

i like ur talk on reading without atlas after a while..it works well in exam@using ur imagination of atlas smtimes

lol sometimes anatomy will be pushing u as if its the only course in Basic med science till close to exam wen u realise BCH wont forgive u..


Balancing in all course is the key though..

charleymed:
Last anatomy as summary?? Are you kidding me??

i dont start with last..who am i.. haha i mean after overhauling maself with BD charausia.. last anat become soft..

Donpre:

Good day boss....

I would love if you'd tell me what courses are taken in 100lvl at uniport and which anatomy textbook is recommended

Thanks!
