1st of all. They're several schools in Nigeria where you can gain admission into medicine by merit and one of those schools is University of Calabar( I schooled there and my admission was based STRICTLY on merit)
2ndly, most people lie about admission into medicine. The thing is medicine is the most sort after course in the world Nigeria not excluded. Now when thousands of people apply for admission into a limited space only the very best will be picked and that'll be the best of the best. Most times this persons who didn't do well enough go about telling lies that they pass but weren't given admission (please note I'm aware that they're some irregularities do occur sometimes but it's not as high as people blow it to be). Now the numbers of those who did not get admission greatly outweigh those who did so it's easier for these persons to spread the facade of lies to the unsuspecting populace.
3.) An average student can study medicine, all he needs is consistency never miss class or hospital rounds and try to read Atleast an hour or two each day. I played politics in school and still topped.
4.) Yes the fees for medicine in a federal university is always slightly higher but the difference most times isn't always upto 10k and yes medical books are very expensive but here's the pros:
U can get soft copies from ur friends for free
Same way medicine expenses are higher so also do a medical student have higher chances of getting scholarships to train himself. We have to mention but a few

I was a beneficial of most of those so I can tell you it's very legitimate.

Most of my classmates during my time trained themselves in school from Scholarships

Finally. Forget those stories of withdrawal, a SMART student would never be withdrawn from medical school. In medicine what u need is more of working smart than working hard. And u just don't wake up 1 day to see withdrawal. U are given 3 chances depending on the school and conditions. You have RESIT, REPEAT before withdrawal so if u are on last attempt and u don't read who's to blame for your failure?? The school or u.

To end it, Nairaland is the worst place to seek important advice as most people here are either Fakers, saddist or just plain stupid. I wish you all the best in your academic pursuit.

God bless you sir..

evening doc's..... I wanna choose u.I dis year and I had Two B's and 3 C's n my o levels.... pls with 280 and above can I be consider for admission or s dere a close course to medicine dat can easier be crossed n 200l....please I need ur opinions

Bro,
Calculating your screening score with the method UI used last year(assuming your B's is (B2) and C's is C4) you've got an aggregate of 66.66(jamb 280)
Bro with these you can't actually get medicine (cut-off mark last year was 76.75)
So my advice, apply to the department of 'physiology' with a strong CGPA & prayers I heard your crossing is possible.


Mind you, UI has change her point grading system to 4.0 to have a strong cgpa won't be beans so if you get physiology eventually, do not forget to chase your dreams.

Hi everyone, Please I need your prayer and help, am an aspiring student of medicine,I wish to study it after my MSC, which I will likely be finishing nextyear.I actually want to study it for the knowledge I will gain from it, I have decided to write WAEC again,Jamb too, my problem is that am afraid of how am going to gain admission, because all my brain is telling me is that everything in Nigeria is through long leg, and I am a daughter of nobody, that has always weaken me. Am an average student and I believe I will be able to struggle the medicine year through but those medicine students close to me won't just stop telling me medicine is very difficult and 80%of student will end up not graduating etc,this has created large fear in my heart. Am a female and am not in the rich side, some people will even say in studying medicine I will have to be buying different costly textbook.Please advise with schools to choose, what I should be aiming for in my WAEC,JAMB etc. Am really afraid of WAEC because I don't believe they give one ones result as when I wrote my first WAEC, there was almost nothing I knew not in those subjects I took, but still I ended up with Cs.There are some schools in my area that have been tagged schools that have As in their WAEC,those with B grade and those with grades etc, but then, I was young and foolish and thus think its not true until my friends we are of the same brilliancy level got As and I ended up with Cs

From your story so far,It's vivid your passion for medicine is astounding but you must be very wise in choosing your institution.Gone are those days when people are placed on the same level of tests and those who actually impressed are ultimately admitted.

The change in the system has disrupted the mode of admission giving those with distinctions upper hand:this is where the choice of institution comes to play.

If you wouldn't want to compromise your belief and faith,you shouldn't indulge in examination malpractice but if you wish,it's your choice to make.

Lastly,believe in yourself that you'll make it no matter what happens.winners don't quit!

BabyGirl114:
Thanks Sir, but sir,how do I know if I am one of the best of the best?because I don't think I am since what I studied in university has almost nothing to do with physics, chemistry

Neither was lomaxx (check him up In previous pages) .... Dont let ur situation determine where u end up in life, if you want medicine go for it. I believe you would be more mature than ur younger colleagues. You know how life is and you know why you are going for med dont be deterred, in the states anyone can study med you just have to work hard nd take remedial classes for the foundation in science.
Chase your dream and let your passion be your atp... Also choose schools wisely like the erudite oogway said earlier even if it means going to a school in ur state or favoured by your catchment. Just make sure you work smart and hard. Dont give up dont fear

Thanks for all the advice, am really grateful, may God reward you abundantly, I will continue to have hope and give updates on this thread, I wall the medicine in South Western states are very frightful for a poor girl as me,I will pursue my PhD as well so I shouldn't loose it all next year, the truth is its frightful,only rich kids and highly influenced people that I see that gain admission for medicine and extremely brilliant people (genius with 320 upwards UME)

One of the greatest obstacles to success is fear-If you can do away with and remain positive,focus and resolute; success will be yours.Who says you can't make it even with the prevailing situation?

which school and department did you finish from?

I was wondering, if a person were to be involved in a fatal accident, and an artery and vein of the same size(e.g aorta and vena cava) were to be severed... which should be closed first or which is more fatal to the patient's life?

I think its the artery, considering blood in it is at high pressure... anyway, lemme hear what the bosses have to say

Do not look at your future with fear but look at the present in awareness'' the greatest achievement in history were made by men who saw a thousand reasons why they could'nt make it but they concentrated their effort and mentality on that single reason of possibility.

Grace spoke for me, for by strength shall no man prevail...
Just believe in yourself...
Stay positive...
Trust in God...

And the sky shall be ur starting point!

to the genius part..... These same geniuses tell you they can't really say how it happened. Just prepare like you have no other choice than to get in. By the way stop pulling yourself down with words. South western universities pay the cheapest fees in the nation for that quality of education. You don't have to be wealthy. As you have been rightly told there are lots of scholarships for medical and dental students both the popular ones, less popular and even from alumni. I had never been to Ibadan before until I got admitted. I didnt know a soul but somehow I got in. Work and pray that's all you need.

Just like you have said sir, I happened to meet one faker,saddist or just plain stupid person named Ximenez,he sent me an email, I accepted, and he ended up trying to bring up more fear in me, telling me am so dull and all, I dont know why some human beings are so funny.Truthfully, Nairaland is the worst place to seek important advice

Donpre:

I think its the artery, considering blood in it is at high pressure... anyway, lemme hear what the bosses have to say

Actually concerning pressure in the blood there are control systems that would work to reduce the the pressure via vasoconstriction of vessels nd vasodilation of peripheral vessels nd reducing heart rate nd force of contraction. Nd when HR is reduced the pressure would be reduced.
Also not that due to the lower veinous return as a result of VC rupture cardiac output will be lower etc

Back to the questions i think it would be wise to stop bleeding from both aorta nd VC then try to repair the vessels. I doubt the individual would make it to the hospital before tissue start shutting down due to shock nd low blood volume.
I know my more experienced colleagues would have a better answer...

Don't mind the girl, i just decided not to respond, at least for now.

If you have gone through her posts, you can't help but wonder how someone who claimed to have undergone undergraduate studies and is presently undergoing postgraduate studies can be so naive with low self esteem and bereft of confidence with so much fear.

Pls, snr docs..
I got stockd wen I discovered the lymph from the lymphatic system goes through lateal vessel through oppenings of the subclavian Vien -left jugular to lymph nodes that occurs below the neck,armpit and groin for purification, that is, removal of lymphorial cells b4 the lymph(fliud) empties intothe blood. Via the HPV. Now, since the lymph caries digestive food too.. How does this food escape being removed by phagocytes in the lymphatic system b4 it goes through the process of emptying into the blood stream after it has passed through the HPV then through the subclavian atery to supply necc. Nutrient to the fore limb and through the illac atery to the hindlimb...
A humble dude is confused here... Plsss help.
