I can't believe I'm officially a Final Year medical student... it's wild! This video was filmed over my first week back to school. I started the year with 8 weeks of psych (divided up 4 weeks in hospital and 4 weeks in a community centre).
Overall I really enjoyed it but I really quickly knew it wasn't the speciality for me. In about the second week I was commenting to people I missed "touching" patients - which sounds really weird but hear me out. As a doctor (or med student) you're taught to use your questions to understand a patient and their symptoms and taught to use your hands and tools to physically connect to them and "find" those symptoms (and signs), and in psych there is A LOT of talking and connection but there isn't much physical skill... and I just missed that. HUGE respect for psychiatrists and psychologists, I definitely tried to learn as much as I could while I was there... but I just don't think I'll be a psych in the future. 💜.

Buy me a coffee at ko-fi.com/emmabmd
Just trying out a new feature - by no means is this meant to pressure anyone, I'm just a med student who spends way too much on coffee!

My Live Schedule - bit.ly/LiveWithEmmaB
Study with Me Emma B - Will be focused pomodoro technique style lives, come ready to chat on the breaks and focus in between!
Coffee Time - will be more casual time to hang out, answer some Q's maybe do some casual study, think of it like a group of friends hanging out and "studying" (you know you've been there!)

What I'm Grateful For

hi how are you?

@EmmaB_MD 2 года назад

So I'm dying to know - how do you make your coffee at home?

@gdaymates431 2 года назад

I only drink tea haha. If you never start drinking coffee, you never get coffee cravings haha ;) I have a question, how often are your exams in medical school, specifically in first and second year? The American schools seem to have them constantly but Australia seems to be mid term and end of year, is that correct? Also, if you could have studied one thing before you started medicine, what would you pick? What is realistically the most useful? Anatomy? Physiology? Math? Lol. Thanks. I hope you're enjoying Australia :)

@@gdaymates431 haha I actually don't have cravings - not addicted YET XD I just like it! But I can go days without it and have 0 problems :P Didn't start drinking caffeine until medschool really so it still has an impact! More than one question there :P but I'll try to answer both.... 1) Every school is different but yes it seems most schools are more structured on a semester here so mid year and end of year exams with assessments in between. So we didn't have "block" exams like the US (ie. learn cardio... test on cardio) we would learn a few blocks and then have a test. 2) I think I wish I had MORE Anatomy in my BSc because I felt ... not behind... but that I had to put a lot of work in to learn that content in Med school. But I think every degree brings different strengths so it's better to do an undergrad that you're passionate about so you don't burn out / it will reflect in a better GPA. Also - don't study the summer before MedSchool though! That's time for a break and to celebrate and spend time with family etc. Thanks! I'm loving Australia!

@@EmmaB_MD Hi! Haha. I was more speaking about the culture around me of "I need me mornin coffee because I can even speak to you." I currently work in an office and that's basically everyone I've ever worked with. Thanks for the advice amd taking the time to write such a long reply. I start next year and basically have no science background so I've definitely been trying to learn some things before I start. Just watching videos on things before work in the mornings. It isn't a burden for me because it's all new and exciting. Anatomy seems like such a mammoth task. Glad it's taught in chunks. The one thing I am worried about is math. My math is TERRIBLE.Im guessing they teach you any formulas you need to know and you just have to remember them? I'm glad you're enjoying Australia. It's a beautiful country.

@@gdaymates431 oh yeah if you're grumpy before coffee - maybe you need the coffee too much haha No problem! I hope it was helpful. Definitely worth brushing up on stuff but Med School is designed to teach you what you need to know! I wouldn't worry TOO much about Math. We do use physics but more to understand things (like... velocity of blood flow) but you can understand those concepts without actually USING the math you know? Other than that any dose calculations or something you always have a calculator to double check! You'll be fine! I think I've had to DO math for one question haha and it was just dividing... and we had a calculator.
