hy guys i'm joshua, i'm sorry if i'm gonna sound little bit naive here. pardon err'one! this issue of being a medical student, is it worth it at all in a country such as naija? from the rigorous admission processes, sleepness nights, humiliation from senior practitioners and many more.. Its a usual believe that medics are opened to automatic employment, but is it realy like that here in naija? what about the area of specialization? why do most aspiring neurosurgeons, cardiologists/cardiosurgeons, urologists end up becoming maybe a gynaecologist or even just a normal medical doctor? is it the rigorous exam? or is it that the route to such specialities ain't just tough but also expensive? is medicine even a course for an average nigerian whose parents ain't earning big?

are residents being paid salaries? or they are the one that pay 4 their training? many questions!

natdswiftest123:
Gudmrn medics n aspirants hop u all had a nice Xmas celebration. I really need your encouragement at this point, I've enrolled for jamb again for medicine but I just can't explain what am going through to you guys....I'm really getting tired of this chase, I just feel there is too much to be done in no time. My 100lvl first semester exam is by February and jamb exams would be kicking off at that time. I'm so confused, I've always been able to draw inspiration from within me but this time I need you all.

Now my advice. What I did was skip all my classes since attendance was useless. Library extension and night classes were my love. I got my med and made the best result in my dept(not anyhow result o)

Am not sure if the school will be admitting students for MBBS this year because last year they didn't as MDCN rules out the school must not admit despite choosing eksu in jamb..they wrote to JAMB concerning MDCN directive due to the fact the students were over admitted
Just before the 2nd MB exam was written in September, we had 300 level A, 300B, 300 C, The accreditation issues has been resolved..the 300a &b of 42 students wrote their 2nd mb exam last year and 300-C will write theirs in March, this year..so accreditation isn't an issue for now but i cant assure if students will be admitted this for medicine this year

U.I dnt use olevel grade anymore. Reason why u shd pick u.i is 1. She doesnt lay emphasize on jamb or olevel. Just a 200 and credit is enough 2. 95% of her students are chosen by merit 3. To completement number 1 above, only the post utme score is used for admission.
U.I is known for her transparency. Hope that helps.

It's another year. God! let this be the year

Dsame thing happens to me last year in ndu. no post utme score and i was admitted in to pure and applied chemistry
But thanks God now am now 100l medicine student of Igbinedion university okada

1. After being thrown from a motorcycle moving
at high speed, a 16-year-old female was
found to have a paralyzed right pectoralis
major muscle. Which set of movements at
the shoulder joint would be found greatly
weakened?
Abduction and extension
Abduction and lateral rotation
Adduction and flexion
Lateral rotation and extension
2.After a jarring blow to the left anterior
shoulder region, a young field hockey player
was told by an examining physician that she
had a muscle tear that resulted directly from
the superolateral distraction of a fractured
coracoid process. Which muscle was torn?
Deltoid
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Serratus anterior
Subclavius
3. During a fight a man is stabbed in the lateral
chest beneath the right arm. The wound does
not enter the chest cavity. Physical
examination reveals that the vertebral (medial)
border of the patient's scapula projects
posteriorly and is closer to the midline on the
injured side. On return visit the patient
complains that he cannot reach as far forward
(such as to reach for a door knob) as he
could before the injury. The nerve injured
which caused these symptoms is the:
axillary
long thoracic
musculocutaneous
radial
suprascapular
4. While observing a mastectomy on a 60-year-
old female patient, a medical student was
asked by the surgeon to help tie off the
arteries that supply the medial side of the
breast. The artery that gives origin to these
small branches is the:
Internal thoracic
Musculophrenic
Posterior intercostal
Superior epigastric
Thoracoacromial
5.A woman with breast cancer subsequently
develops metastases in her vertebral column.
The most direct route for spread of the tumor
to the vertebral column was via:
branches of the cephalic vein
branches of the lateral thoracic vein
branches of the thoracoacromial veins
lymphatic vessels draining into the axilla
branches of the intercostal veins
6. A man suffers a penetrating wound through
the anterior axillary fold, with resulting
damage to one of the main terminal branches
of the brachial plexus. Among the effects is a
significant weakening of flexion of the elbow.
One or more other effects to be expected is
(are):
a)Loss of cutaneous sensation on the tips
of several fingers
b)Only loss of cutaneous sensation on the
anterolateral surface of the forearm
c)Only weakening of flexion at the shoulder
Weakening of flexion at the shoulder and
d) loss of cutaneous sensation on the
anterolateral surface of the arm
e)Weakening of flexion at the shoulder and
loss of cutaneous sensation on the
anterolateral surface of the forearm
7. A person sustains a left brachial plexus injury
in an auto accident. After initial recovery the
following is observed: 1) the diaphragm
functions normally, 2) there is no winging of
the scapula, 3) abduction cannot be initiated,
but if the arm is helped through the first 45
degrees of abduction, the patient can fully
abduct the arm. From this amount of
information and your knowledge of the
formation of the brachial plexus where would
you expect the injury to be:
axillary nerve
posterior cord
roots of plexus
superior trunk
suprascapular nerve.
Good night u all.
Zellie I've tried sending the textbooks but I haven't been able to get them through. The files are large and they don't upload for me to send.

Just decided to tell u first if it will be okay by u.

For the fact that Eksu medical school had gotten her 1st clinical accreditation doesn't mean her final clinical accreditation has been acquired.
