I Failed Medical School 

thank you so much girl

I'm so glad to hear that Sarah. Thank you for watching and finding something useful in what I said. I wish you all the best

Flo Mekenye thank you so much for your kind words 💕 unfortunately having failures is the only way I am forced to recognize the importance of self care

@@lifetime_learner same here failures and painful experiences open my eyes to what’s important but sometimes it takes time to learn the lesson

Levi Mordechai My friend at school is in his 50s studying to be a doctor as well. He was a surgeon in Iran but he was not able to practice here in the USA so he went back to school and started from ground zero. Very hard to do. But because of how much he loves medicine, it shows through his work ethic and how helpful he is to my class. Everyone loves him because of his attitude! It just goes to show that at the end of the day, what really matters is your heart, intentions, and attitude. If you are successful in that, no failures in life could ever take that away from you. Keep pushing hard my friend, you can do it 😊

Hey Tyler, thank you so much for listening. Congratulations on your commitment to medicine, I know that must have been a difficult process. As you can see, I can't promise your journey won't be filled with its own challenges but I strongly believe everything happens for a reason & anything you face will be for your best [definitely character building] and for the betterment of your future patients :) let me know if you have any questions about school!

Thank you :) best of luck with medical school. It’s the most rewarding career & something worth working hard for everyday

Wrong. We're talking about patients lives. If you FAIL medical school, leave. The heart felt stories and motivations go out the window when a patient is coding and the 6 year graduate freezes under pressure and someone's family member dies.

Thank you for watching 💕 best of luck in your endeavors!

thank you Neha

very well said! I did not think of it that way before.

Hello Noor, thank you for watching. Congratulations on getting into physiology school. Things have dramatically improved with school. I cut down my studying at least 50% than what I was normally doing and my grades are even better. I was able to cut down studying the more I let go of control. Instead of focusing on learning every little detail in lecture because I was scared I would get questions wrong on a test, I listen to lectures one or two times a couple days before the test and do not take any notes. The rest of my time I watch videos from outsides sources and read study materials from outside sources. This reduced my stress so much because I am actually focused on learning the material so I can understand instead of trying to force myself to figure out what my professors are teaching. We have amazing resources on the internet now where teachers will help you learn the same concepts that your school teaches but they do it so much more concise and easier to understand. I am now finishing up my second year of school and taking boards in June :) I can do a video of my studying habits if that will help you.

@@lifetime_learner Thank you for replying you're such a sweetheart. Thank you for the congratulations as well I really appreciate it especially in these times when I'm completely doubting myself and my passion but I know deep down that's what I want despite failing my MSK practical which I have till the summer to redo it if things are ok with the pandemic situation. I really hope you crush your exams this summer. I def need your tips because I need to adjust my studying habits now to become a better student. I also wanted to know how did you mentally take this failure and took this opportunity in your favor to grow and develop. I shall stay tuned for your next video then. Thank you again and stay safe and blessed

Are you in PT school?

I am sorry you are having such a hard time. Medicine is really difficult and it can mess with her head if you let it. There's two things that could be happening 1) your heart is telling your body and mind that this isn't want you are meant to do 2) you are going through a difficult time to better shape the kind of doctor you want to be. I had two breakdowns about not being sure if I can do medicine. Breakdowns are normal, some people have a bunch and some people have none. Don't let this emotion make long term decisions. Every moment where I had to question if this was really something I could do, it brought me closer to wanting it. But, it took a lot to get there. I had to really feel every emotion I was feeling and ask myself why do I feel this way? Is it because of the stress? is it because of family? is it because I don't feel good enough? is it because of money? I had to break everything down and reassess the answers. Looking back, even though they were painful, I would not want to skip having a mental breakdown. It taught me a lot about myself and I would not be where I am without them. My professor gave me some great advice that I recommend you try: 1) write down all of the skills you have 2) write down all the qualities you want your future job to have 3) write down everything you love about medicine & everything you hate (do that for every career you have ever thought of having). Nothing is perfect. There is no perfect job that will shield you from the emotions are having right now. But there is a passion in this life that will push you to overcome it.

where you are in your journey?

Thank you 💕

Hi, the score was based on a curve so the person in my class with the highest grade set the standard for the rest of us. Anyone below the 5th percentile which ended up being a score of 53 was considered failing

I did an update video 😊 but very well, half way through my third year almost. Completed pediatrics, neurology, obgyn, and currently on family. Loved them all! Stay safe!

Hey!! Going to post today or tomorrow 😅

@@lifetime_learner lesssssgooo

You live and you learn.

@@lifetime_learner now that you are done with medical school you should give a review of your school by name and call out the stuff that needs correcting. Medical schools need to be held accountable for the things they do to students just to make money.

Rude.

@@gdaymates431 snowflake word for “truth”

@@kellanhills1972 You seem like a very unhappy person. I hope you're OK. You've left quite a few negative comments on this account. Usually people who do that aren't in a good place mentally. Look after yourself.

Chris Hardin much better thanks! Finishing 2nd year. Just signed up for the USMLE to take it this June. Are you in school?

@@lifetime_learner I'm glad you're doing great :)
