Hey! They are through or almost through with medic school na!what's wrong with Nairaland?

Lagusta:
WELCOME TO DA CLUB!!!!! I promise u will hav an unforgettable experience as u start ur journey....

Since u r a fresher, u will resume 100L studying the basic sciences I.e physics, chemistry and biology, maybe maths (we don't do maths in unilorin). Then u spend the next two years (the preclinical years) studying the basic medical sciences I.e anatomy, physiology and biochenistry. In unilorin, we also do a bit of behavioural sciences, microbiology, epidemiology and a WHO program called COBES.

Now, when u get to 400L, you will do harder basic sciences: pathology and pharmacology, but u will also be introduced to the clinical sciences: medicine surgery, paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology. Finally in your last two years, yow will deal with only clinical sciences, including the surgical specialties, community health and psychiatry. Making a total of 6yrs.

After graduation, u will be pre-registered into the MDCN (medical and dental council of nigeria) and start your housemanship for one full year (don't worry, u will be paid salary), then you will go for service, but be preparing to write your primaries exam, in order for u to specialize in your place of interest I.e surgery, am I correct

Well, that's that for now...

Lagusta:
Yeah, most of the textbooks hav soft copies, u can get them easily from ur mates...

Don't worry, God will help

When I entered the cadaver lab, I stood still for a while....

The sight was horrific...

The stench was horrendous.....

You will see cadavers with centipedes crawling out of their eye sockets....


Maggots popping out as you dissect.....


And guess what, the first day I was there, I saw a lecturer eating donught beside a cadaver.....


And since then, I became a man!!!

There are many specialties in medicine and surgery, the core ones are pathology, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, medicine, surgery and community health

Pathology specialties include hematology, microbiology, histopathology, and chemical pathology

Medicine and paediatrics have the same specialties, only that paediatrics deal with children, while internal medicine deals with adults, the specialties include neurology, psychiatry, pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, and endocrinology

Obstetrics and gynecology is a major surgical specialty

Other surgical specialties include neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, urology, orthopaedics, paediatric surgery, plastic surgery, and the sub-specialties I listed earlier..

Community health is a major branch of medicine....

Lagusta:
Yes boss

Lagusta:
I know its normal, but its unexpected for that kind of patient....
That's why I said he should contact me

I av always loved d idea of a career in medicine since I was young... I'm also an aspiring student, and I know dat by Jehovah's willing, I will be bkom one, currently studying pure and applied biology at LAUTECH Ogbomoso at 100 level.... pls sirs, I want to ask if it will be a wise move to write jamb next year or simply go on wif dis programme, den go for direct entry? and also, as a Yoruba guy from Oyo state, do I also av d chance of gaining admission into d south-eastern universities of Nigeria as any of thr indigene candidates upon my choosing dem in Jamb? I really am a talkative...it is the excitement I guess

Those lazy bones in the anatomy lab don't use enough formaldehyde...

They just spray the stuff and leave it to rot gradually....
