i really needed this video right now as an incoming freshman to college, i think i struggle with a future-hyper focused mindset, so hearing this video was really refreshing, thank you!
Yeah but once it’s undergrad stem you’re like fuck that 😂 I only study with anki, practice problems nowadays and use onenote to keep track of all my lecture materials and notes! But yes shoutout to that 20 pen and marker set every girl used to own 🤡
Hey Claire, do you know if you're going to a a video on your AAMC application review, where you go over your stats and extracurricular. It would be extremely helpful to premeds who are applying!
Oh my goodness, Your sharing was super cool, yeah, your tips can fetch A+ straightforwadly in organic chemistry, Yup, I can say that we can predict reaction products when it comes to organic chemistry instead it's not as much easy while pursuing inorganic chemistry, I don't know, I mean, How we are supposed to predict the reaction products when it comes to complex inorganic reactions, It's so frustrating to accept the trends, deviations and anamolies in inorganic stuff. I mean, is there any way to resolve the complicated stuff into super comprehensible things, because I think there must be an heuristic approach to predict inorganic reaction products as well. Well, your videos are quite incredible and the coolest part is that we can realize the consequences practically in that context.❤
I am an organic chem lectuerer and I dont know if im doing well 😢 its disppointing to me when i spent alot of time explaining and solving then having student not do well 🥲
Some students are just not sure of how to ask for help. Nobody WANTS to fail, thats not why we are taking the class! Try having more anonymous forums for students to ask questions they may feel too "stupid" to ask with their name attached. That seems to help a lot :)
Hey, I am writing a book with a character preparing for medical entrance. So if you were willing to give an interview about your experience it would really help me with my book. If you're comfortable pls send your email address.
studying for my organic final (I know I found this video very late I regret not watching this) MY THOUGHTs. I love my prof shes nice and sweet, but I am now finding out that the other organic professors all have a different grading system hers is a 90 is an A but all the others are 90 is an A but 86-89 is an A- which is way better than a whole B. I didn't know this until I was asking my friend in another class and she said that to me and I was shocked. Because she kept reasuring me Ive made all B's on the exam I should pass with an A, but was like no I need a 96 on the final to pass with an A (including our hw grade). SO TIP GO WITH THE PROFESSOR THATS GRADING SCALE IS BETTER. because 9/10 YOU WILL HAVE TO TEACH YOURSELF WITH TONSSS OF PRACTICE PROBLEMS
I had the same experience! Well, not quite; my away was psych and I reaiized I'm not gonna be a psychiatrist. I just don't like getting into people's heads and wrangling with lists of mental illnesses in the DSM. BUT the people I worked with were amazing and got me through it! This made me realize that medicine is as much about your mentors and colleagues, the people you learn from and serve, as it is about the patients and their conditions. This is among the many revelations about rotations.
I am surprised that you fret so much about your supposed failings in social media, particularly as a RU-vidr and content creator. I don't think you really have, but to the extent that you (may) have fallen short, it's only because you're engaged in the most consequential, demanding profession there is: medicine. Maybe those other RU-vidrs have a hundred thousand views per, but they make stuff up; you don't. You don't make up the woman with a lump on her breast that she fears might be cancer, or the teen athlete with a heart murmur that means he has to quit sports forever, or the army veteran with PTSD who just needs someone to listen, but no one has...until he met you. You've become so attached to your family medicine rotation probably because of cases like these as well as the relationships you've made with those who share your calling - so few in number, about 1 in 430 Americans who spend 8-10 years training to become the quintessential healers: physicians. The most time-consuming, strenuous, cognitively demanding education, a veritable rite of passage. Sure, there are even fewer astrophysicists - probably 1 in 1000 - but they study bodies of lifeless particles billions of light years away; you study bodies full of life, human beings, mere inches in front of you that you can see, touch, and palpate. And heal. Every once in a while, what you do may literally mean the difference between life and death for the human being in front of you, and you will surprise yourself. But even when your interaction is more mundane, you (especially you) will be a comforting presence to them. Standing there in your (short) white coat. They may not know that you are "just" a medical student- maybe those oversize pockets packed with tongue depressors, reflex hammers, and an odd Lange Case Files book don't betray your status as a neophyte. But they will always know that you represent...hope. And healing. What RU-vidr can do that? You don't need 100,000 views, you don't even have to be on RU-vid, to be a star. You are already a star, every time you walk into the exam room, or pull back the curtain in the ER, or place your calm hand on the shaking hand of a patient, or reassure the anxious parents of a sick child, or (soon) scrub into the OR. I know you will be amazing on your surgery rotation. :)
hi!!! coming from IG and i can’t believe it’s taken me this long to subscribe! your long form videos are a joy to watch and i can’t wait to binge the rest ❤ thank u for always being so vulnerable and letting us into your journey!!
happy to see u again. hope your doing well. being realistic these days is so hard. Seeing your videos somehow warns me in that way, to be more honest to myself in my path and the struggles of studying medicine .wish u the best
Omg congrats Claire!!!! Knowing how much effort and energy you put into this made me so emotional! I'm so happy for you! Take a nice long break now haha you deserve it! ❤❤
Thank you for this sensitive yet forthright meditation on life. And how to live it well. I like your advice on making the small things memorable because it ties into your bigger advice about not having to be a perfectionist and not having to always look to the future. The small things are NOW, right in front of us. They are the everyday, about living in the moment. I think that's the key to a life lived well. I love how the perfect scenes behind you - the Armenian countryside in its pastural glory - belie the theme of your talk, how the quest for perfection is hurtful and holds us back. Life is already perfect, down to our natural surroundings. All we need to do is to always bear that in mind. I know that's easier said than done - I am also a perfectionist, so it hurt a lot when my professional hopes were dashed. What I'm learning is that it's not about 'making up' for my failures but simply searching for happiness. In the moment. Thank you for showing me the way.
@Itsclairejean That was so nice of you to say that! Thank you:) But I have to give you credit because you inspired my thoughts! Btw I was just watching your video on O-chem but put a pause on it (procrastination?); maybe I'll add my comments over there
@@Itsclairejean I'm glad you appreciate my input! Yes, I will try to add thoughts that are worthy of your vlog and consistent with its theme of helping others :)
There's actually a lot of physics in med school. Starling's forces (capillary, oncotic pressures), LaPlace's law (aneurysms),lens equation (ophthalmology), etc. This sounds intimidating but the math is basic and applicable to whatever you doing (like finding focal lengths).
