THINGS THAT HAPPEN ONLY IN MEDICAL SCHOOL

 THINGS THAT HAPPEN ONLY IN MEDICAL SCHOOL

1.Love story beside dead bodies: you get to see people fall in love in dissection hall while cutting dead bodies along with sour formalin smell for their added fragrance.

• Hey girl, can u lend me your scalpel blade for the dissection. 
• Hey, i forgot to bring the gloves, can u lend me.
• I forgot to bring my Cunningham manual,  come lets study together in your book.
• Can you make my hair and put it back, its touching the dead body.
• You missed a lot yesterday , come il teach you about yesterday's dissection.
• You can stand behind me for a better view.

2.Sleep with skeletal bones : yes !you read it right , we sleep sometimes with a skull facing you or a long femur bone sticking somewhere near your legs while studying and falling asleep.

You buy a bone set basically at the start of your med school and this will be your best buddy till your completion of first year and yes your buddy will be shared with all the hostel inmates with different parts of it in different rooms

3.Even a neet top ranker will fail here: Only hard work, perseverance pays off, not just smart work.

You have to spend a lot of time with books ,

Just remembering the names of few terminologies is very difficult

Take a look at a sentence from greys anatomy book for example: 

"The inferior border is thin and sharp where it seperates the base from the costal surface and extends into costodiaphrammatic recess and more rounded medially where it divides the base from the mediastinal surface."

Yea those who are wondering, that was about the lung anatomy borders, and yea it is difficult to understand.

4. Make yourself bleed, play with urine, Getting to legally show your six pack abs : yes, medical students have to prick themselves for a small amount of blood fr examination in practicals many times and have to get naked for few topics in physiology like ecg, and urine for biochem experiments.

5.Taking history, examination of the patient in ward : Everyday a different set of students come to wards to take history of the patient, examine them , and irritate them with so many questions ,scare them with multiple diagnosis.

6. Watching all disgusting things in wards and feeling nothing: watching a surgeon doing a per rectal examination(putting finger inside the anus)to a patient in ward and the faeces sticking it to his finger after taking it out.

A medico will feel nothing even if he/she is talking about stools, feces, pus, and stuff while eating food, while a normal person would start vomitting 

7.Blood, blood everywhere in OR: You get to see blood and sometimes a lot of blood , foul smelling pus coming out from abscess cavity, drilling and fixing screws ,loading hammers to fix broken bones inside opeartion theatre.

8.Bad handwriting: A bad handwriting=good doctor and a good handwriting= bad doctor.( not always)

9.People everywhere in hospital: You get to see lots of people including doctors rushing , running from here and there, patient attenders sleeping on floor, waiting rooms, people celebrating the birth of a baby, people crying for the recovery or the death, people running for investigations.

10.Senior and junior bond is at a different level: Med students learn mostly from the seniors and books rather than consultants and teachers and the bond is very good between them.
