When it comes to the issue of making a choice between two healthcare courses, I am always of the opinion that the individual making the choice should know what he/she wants. In as much as the patient would be the beneficiary of all the expertise that would be brought to bay from different fields, being relevant to the patient is not as important as you doing what you desire. And while you make your choices, please make no assumptions. Don't be carried away by what you read on the Internet or what you feel should be the norm. In the hospital, there are clearly defined roles and responsibilities stated out- and no matter how much knowledge you wield, you are not expected to act except it is within your statutorily defined role.

Health practice has left the era of "we are here to help the patient by all means we can no matter what". The human body is not a 100% predictable machine. It's a spectrum of continuous designs and processes which are inter-related and ultimately affect each other. If you go out of your "way" to help and something goes wrong, you are very on your own. These days patients are becoming 'wiser'- looking for who to blame on their perennial woes. Their relations have lawyers standby should anything happen. The era of studying a healthcare course to be relevant to a patient by all means is gradually fading out. So please let's put things in perspective.

This takes us back to prioritizing personal desire over the will to be a proverbial sacrificial lamb. Study a course because you want to- not because you feel it will make you 'better' to a patient than the other person studying a different course. The tides are changing.

Finally, I've observed that a lot of students in the healthcare arena derive their self esteem from the course they are studying. This is a very flawed mental engineering. It shouldn't be so. What you study is not as important as how you feel about yourself. You don't need to study a particular course to be somebody in life. Nobody cares what you are until they know how relevant you can be to their lives. The Nigerians that tell you a particular course is better over the other probably know nothing about your course. They don't know how many hours you spend daily to make an above-average grade. They don't know how many hours you sleep per night just to ensure you are on top of your material. They're in the not-know about so many things. Why make their opinions important?

I will always say no course is better than the next. What is important is who is studying the course - that's where we can talk of who is better and who is not.

I rest my case.

Gross Anatomy: Snell's Clinical Anatomy By Regions

Histology : BRS Histology + Di Fiore's Atlas of Histology

Embryology : BRS Embryology

Physiology : NMS Physiology plus/minus Fox Physiology

Biochemistry : MN Charteajea Textbook of Medical Biochemistry

The books I recommend to medical students are often looked down upon. They are indeed risk adventures. Most medical students I recommend books to end up not using them. Why? Because they're not the usual books. Medical students are used to the books generations ahead of them used and prefer spending long grueling hours on huge endless textbooks. To some of them, that's the drill.

But one girl attempted to use of of the books I recommended in her Pathology exam. Her classmates were studying Almighty Robbins and Cortran Pathologic Basis of Disease. I told her not to use it. My reason: the book was too detailed and time wasting. I offered her a trio of Pathology Secrets+Pathguy.com+Some lecture notes I emailed her. The results was out last week- she topped the class with a distinction mark. They still think she's a genius.

Happy weekend.
Dr lomaxx, pls can I get the PDF copies of those books in your former post (from Anat - Surgery)....Here's my email: subechu@gmail.com... Thanks in anticipation

my dear, treat promises like a handful of air. It holds no true meaning, what if the person promising you a job gets sacked, dies or your relationship strains immediately you need the job? Humans would always be humans. If it is your true passion, I would advise you to take it. You can convince your family, I am sure they would understand. Yet, you can still let it go, but never base your life on the word of mouth of a fellow human being. Think of the next 20 years, your state of mind then, what would you have preferred mi lady. Whatever rocks your boat my dear. What a funny world, a million people out there are dying for this course, yet we have someone who is not that concerned and has been given. Life is something else.

finish with what you're doing now.
If in the next 5-10 years, you still feel un-fulfilled without the MBBS certificate (which I highly doubt), you can then go back to med school.

Dear lomaxx, i like you so much.
You are the bomb, you are an embodiment of perfection.
Just two questions...
1)why did you choose medicine?
2)if you had a chance to start over again what will you rather study apart from biomedical engineering?..
I humbly await your reply sir.

University teaching hospitals Nurses are being thot what medical students are being taught
the offer courses like
anatomy
physiology
biochemistry
microbiology
pharmacology
the do clinical rotation in various fields like ob/gyn, cardiology,pediatric,psychiatry,anaesthesiology, in order for them to choose a specialty
scrubs nurses can be a doctor's first assisstance in surgery, nurse anaesthsia can work and earn twice as much as a house officer
somtymz people get carried away by the M.D attached to names and the fames rather than sole aim of medicine
being a nurse doesnt mean you move around wipin butt and passing urine and faeces pan, you practice real medicine
so dont overlook little thingz cos you think the aint worth
a nurse far more better than being a physiologist,biochemist,anatomist radiologist and a dentist (no offence)

What's This B.S?
u only do elementary /intro of these courses.

u r posted to psychiatry, Medicine, gynae etc Ward is NOT the same as doing Medicine, psychiatry or waeva!
Bcz u're posted to d obs nd gynae ward to learn nursing doesn't mk u know anything about gynae or obs or wateva... You don't even clerk so u can't diagnose anybody of any disease so just stay in your zone nd do your work nd don't try to compare yourself with anybody.
