Is it the Mimiko I know or there's another one?..I could pin point to things still on ground that Mimiko did during his time but I can't do the same for Aketi..Mimiko focused on health and education and the realities are still on ground today..Mother and child hospitals in some parts of state were the brain child of Mimiko...Modern schools are there.. University of medical sciences, Ondo was also the handiwork of Mimiko's administration..Mimiko also provided free school buses for students transportation to schools. Now list Aketi achievements and let's compare and contrast. |

Abcruz: I think it's rather False because the anterior compartment is supplied mainly by the femoral artery while the medial and posterior compartment of the thigh is supplied by the perforating branches of the profunda femoris artery.
The muscles of the medial or adductor compartment supplied by the perforating branches of the profunda femoris artery include: adductor magnus adductor longus, adductor brevis, gracilis and obturator externus.
The muscles of the posterior compartment supplied by the perforating branches of the profunda femoris artery include: semitendinosus, semimembranous and biceps femoris. I thought the muscles of the adductor compactment are supplied by the obturator artery. |

samuelpeters: Yes. They admitted too much plus those that transferred from other departments to medicine and dentistry. Even pharmacy is facing that issue. When i was in 2nd year, my friend in biological sciences transferred to pharmacy and they were almost 498+ and they can't graduate more than 180. So they will make the rules strict and drop so many people on the way. Med school now is one attempt or you leave. They are also looking at increasing pass mark to 60. Maybe they have implementated that one sef. UNN is becoming a dubious school with their money making mentality..The huge number of students admitted is all about making profits. |

Dreyyy: Okay. Hello. I haven't really posted anything on here before but I need the help, so it's worth a try.
I'm a medical student in my 3rd year and I believe I'm going to fail my first professional examination. I've been doing very badly, not because I have difficulty understanding or because I'm not passionate enough but because I can't seem to get what I'm reading to stick in my head.
I read and come back and reread and still, if you ask me a question on the topic, I won't know anything.
I did badly the last two semesters. My Anatomy is good enough but my Biochemistry and Physiology have gone to hell. I don't know what to do.
I haven't completed any of the first and second semester's work and I'm struggling to find my footing with third semester.
I feel defeated and depressed. I don't want to repeat or withdraw.
What study methods does anyone, any medical student or anyone think I can use to be able to remember what I've read?
Please, help. I'm a medical student but in 2nd year. I noticed from onset before we resumed for 200L that I preferred reading Anatomy because of the diagrams and illustrations..I could spend much time in Anatomy than biochemistry and physiology and in same vein I knew passing anatomy alone wouldn't take me to the next level, I had to design a time table..Many Medical students I know of prefer reading their Anatomy than other courses which I saw as a normal thing. I read Gross Anatomy on Mondays and Tuesdays, Embryology/Histology on Wednesdays, Physiology on Thursdays and Fridays then Biochemistry on Saturdays and Sundays..This method has really helped me because I can't go a day without reading the course for that day, it has instilled a huge level of discipline in me..And with this method, I touch all my courses in a week..And I've set a standard for myself that I'm going to cover all my texts and notes two times before any test..I don't think there's anything bad in aiming distinctions as such people can never fail MB exam...You need utmost discipline and tenacity to survive the rigours and huge workload of medical school. Always strive to read between lines as it will give you a better understanding of what you're reading... |

Education › Re: How Do I Remember Things I've Read Before Exams? by MrEgghead(m): 4:20pm On Sep 28, 2020 |
Issiijay: Well, I attend Federal University Oye Ekiti. I'm in my 2nd year studying industrial chemistry.
Ever since secondary School, I've wanted to study civil engineering. Chose UI twice but I wasn't picked. Not until I chose Fuoye, this time I had to go for a course in science. I got confused, I don't know which to do. My best or favorite subject then in Secondary School was mathematics, I know it to the core. But I thought of not studying it cos I don't want to go deep into maths, I want something different.
Choosing a course to do became difficult cos I was being careful as not to choose what I'd regret later cos I feel doing a certain course in school isn't about choosing any course.
I also didn't want to go deep into Physics, despite the fact that I know Physics well just after maths, then I went for industrial Chemistry. My Dad was worried too, he felt probably I should go for something related to engineering. I felt chemistry would do
Resuming, most of my course mates would say they're studying industrial chemistry cos Chemistry was their best subject and they had interest in it. I felt disturbed cos studying it for me is of a different reason.
Coming to exams and grades, which is the main part. There's something bout me, I hate qualifying myself. I prefer wen people do so themselves. With my grades n intelligence, they say I was the 3rd best graduating student in my secondary School. But for me,I'm really really average.
Everyone dislikes reading school notes I guess,most read to pass not to understand. In University, you must learn to read well and assimilate well. When I go for lectures, read my notes after, at the next day I'd forget all I've read.
This stuff has been happening since secondary School I guess but it became worse in University. My Dad is so brilliant, he's always wanting the best from us as the children especially I as the first born. I've prayed several times,fasted,even met with a lecturer n a counselor on what to do.
This discouraged me that I don't really have to read after lectures,instead I read when it's 4 to 3 days to exams so as to remember some, making it be like I'm reading to pass. Cos if I read them long ago, I'd have forgotten. The problem is that the notes tends to be now plenty to assimilate n understand.
I'm always depressed about this,and I'm tired,I don't know what else to do. The main problem is remembering most I've read. Some times I'd want to read my notes, I'd be like if I read, I'll still forget once it's tomorrow ���♂️. I don't know what's wrong with my retentive memory.
If I can read n remember most things I read I'll be having good grades. Infact I'm so so ashamed to write out my CGPA. even if my parents or friends in school sees it, they'd be so disappointed cos if the fact they know how intelligent I am.
For my 100level,it's just 3.00.. it's so so so so lowwwww. My dad could cry if he sees it. He wants me to graduate with a first class also I too. We haven't done first semester exams yet in this 200level,I need to do well at least have more than 4.00. I cry when I imagine how can this be possible. I've bought lots of photocopied past questions of each courses. Just as how I've gotten handouts. I look at how plenty those notes are and past questions are and be like how will I read , assimilate and remember all.
I'm so bemused right now cos school's resuming soon. And we might be rushed to so exams. I don't want to fail. I even picked my notes recently at home and after reading the first page of the handouts,I saw how much lessons the notes still hold and how much I'll read,I stopped feeling discouraged and just now as am typing,I can't seem to remember all I read in that first page. It's annoying and painful.
Is there something I can drink or take or do I have to keep reading and reading and never stop till it's stuck in my head. Maybe a topic from each courses per day, I don't know. I'm not lazy to read the notes. I'm only feeling discouraged of my ability not to remember wen I read.
And something,I am not a night reader like most do. I don't read at night. I've never done it. That's wen I get to sleep. My lecturer says if it's like that prolly I should be reading at the noon time or when am free during the day, making use of all opportunities during the day.
I go to classes by 7,come BK by 5 during Mon n Tuesday, 7 to 3 on Wednesday n Thursday n on Friday it's 10 to 12,by 5 to 6,I go for church choir rehearsal. Saturdays, a lecturer could get us to come for some classes,by 4 to 6, I'd still go for Choi rehearsals cos am an esco
PLEASE I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP No one is born a dullard and with consistency, you can even graduate top of your class. Map out a time table outlining the course you will reading per day from Mondays to Sundays..If you're offering 7 courses per semester, it will be better and if you're offering above that, you can strategise.. This will instill seriousness and steadfastness in you because you wouldn't want to go a day without reading the course for that day, it has been working for me till now..Strive to always create time to repeat everything you've read many times because repetition gives lasting memory..How do you expect to have 'As' when you read your courses once..Go and ask those on First class, they cover their courses 3 to 4 times before exams... |

Chapman801: didn't you see when I apologised for drifting? i rather include medicine in my opinion because kids out here in nairalamd don't know what it is. I am very sure you are a medical student . Some think it is just a seven year course, one year internship and a pay check and i laugh to this. my brother who has been practicing for 7years now wants to leave Nigeria because of poor pay and incessant strikes and dilapidated facilities. If you are a medical student or you know one tell them to gidi up. It is not how it used to be better pray for the grace of God and do not talk foolishly. i just even gave you a hint on how medicine work placement is and you are here saying nonsense. pray for the favour of God all else na FMC kogi you go land and you will understand Did I complain to you? I know your type..What will you gain in trying to downgrade medicine the way you're doing now? Every course in Nigeria doesn't guarantee fortunes in anyway and most of us know about this and we still chose that path not because of the money or the job availability but because that's what we've been called to do..The read deal to some of us is about 'Saving lives'..it doesn't matter if it's at FMC Kogi or health center in oba ile...What matters to us is getting to save lives...Not every Doctor wants to be rich or money freak...We chose it because it's the best job in the world.

Chapman801: all I can say is that we shouldn't use the excuse of going abroad to deceive the innocent op. she should go for nursing if she loves taking care of people and seeing people recover. she should go for pharmacy if she loves outreach and answering to people's needs on time. i rather be a pharmacist than be a nurse because I will be very sound in drugs. medicine is for the prestige and nothing more. how much do nurses earn when they work with government 120k at most and 300k. If you work for like 20years. what is the need of me studying a course if I can't use it in Nigeria. Nigeria has a lot of brain drain in pharmacy. ineptitude of hospitals in purchasing facilities. I won't advice any pharmacist to work in hospitals. The richest health professionals in the world own pharmaceutical industries and make a lot of dollars. Red Rock can't match that. As a young pharmacist you make money early live a balanced life and not always on calls. how much does an intern doctor earn 120k. at most 150k. before you can make 300k and above, it is either you are a consultant 0or work in a multinational company. This means you must have worked for at least 5 years after internship. now calculate this 7 years course plus internship and at least 5years residency making it 13 years excluding strike some time even fifteen years and what about entering a residency another problem. sorry for drifting go for nursing or for pharmacy. you don't really need residency for pharmacy but you need guidance. There other courses like optometry and dentistry and many more. I know all of these because I have friends in the health sector There's no need including medicine in your discussion, it's unrelated to the topic. |
