MEDICAL SCHOOL: A POEM BY ZAZU

From Amoebas and chloroplasts
To nucleated erythroblasts.
I always linked old ships with masts,
Mast cells have made me recast.
Rulers, rockets, rheostats,
Thank God that’s all in the past.
I would yawn as time strolled past,
Now it’s running very fast.
Have you seen my day’s forecast?
Class to class, then back to class.
My class cannot be outclassed:
From the first guy to the last
Bureaucrats and Diplomats,
Quintessential Plutocrats
Geeks & Wizards, Fat & Phat
Geese & Gizzards, ratty Brats.
Pastors, Members, Counterparts,
Photostatting copycats.
Then, when results are broadcast,
Mehn, come and see acrobats.
‘Cos no feeling can outlast
Your joy, knowing you have passed.
So much joy, but in contrast
Many skies are overcast,
For among the enthusiasts
There are those who haven’t passed.
I once thought all docs had hearts,
But now I am very smart.
And it goes far beyond that:
My brain has been torn apart.
Renin? Rennin? This or that?
Who knows glucose glucostat?
ALT ain’t alternate.
CAT is not after a rat.
FISH is not part of breakfast,
PDA is in the heart.
Hippocrates where you at?
We need to have some chitchat.
‘Cos in that oath that we chant
Some lines are irrelevant;
You should see machines we gat
They are more than works of art.
First the kidneys, then the heart,
Now it’s bone marrow transplant.
I was a genius, so brilliant,
Now I look so ignorant.
Surgery was done by humans,
Now robots have other plans.
The future is so pregnant,
Time is never hesitant.
Soon the scalpel will depart,
Stitches insignificant,
Foetuses will choose their looks,
We’ll do surgery on Facebook 

INFO ABOUT ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY FROM CMUL cc joshuaidowu.blogspot.com

ANATOMY DEPARTMENT

Ag. Head  -  Dr. F.I. Duru  M.B., B.S., M. Sc.

The Department of Anatomy  teaches gross, neuro-living developmental and micro anatomy through lectures, practical, demonstrations and seminars. Emphasis is placed at all times in clinical significance of the structure being studied. In this way, students are being stimulated to learn basic anatomy. Our Clinical colleagues make very helpful contributions in this area..

The Undergraduate student population which averages about 650 consists of Medical, Dental, Physiotherapy and Physiology students. The department has inputs into the training of Nurses, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Biomedical Engineering and Residency Students Programme.

The department runs postgraduate M.Sc, M.Phil and Ph.D programmes. There are strong links existing between this department and Clinical Sciences department in which members of staff of this School provide services for them.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

A poem by ZAZU, a medical doctor.

What! Past 10 and I’m still sleeping!
My alarm’s been beep-beep-beeping.
Should’ve been in class since seven,
I know I shouldn’t have eaten.
Man, I have read nothing today,
I didn’t come to school to play,
All these courses I must read them,
Off to class until 5.00am.
-with coffee, and packs of chewing gum
Just to drive off sleep when it comes.

#MEDICAL SCHOOL ADVICE: TIPS FOR BEING SUCESSFUL IN A MEDICAL EXAM

Tips for Being Successful on a Medical School Exam

So, you get your tentative schedule for your first week of class, along with some required reading assignments that will be discussed in lecture, power point slides, and maybe even some practice problems. What do you do? As I mentioned before, medical school is like sipping water from a fire hydrant. With that said, any chance you have to "get ahead" and lessen the high powered flow of information that is going to be coming your way, take it! You'll thank yourself later. Here are some suggestions for things that have worked for me so far.

1. Pre-read. Many professors will give you reading assignments for lecture. Read them, all of them if you can, but if you are pressed for time, at least read the introduction, all the bolded titles and subtitles and the conclusion/summary of the material at the end. This will help you have a basic foundation for the material that you are going to cover in lecture that day. You may feel like you aren't being efficient with your time since you are taking time to cover material that you aren't familiar with and that is going to be explained to you in lecture anyway, but trust me, this is extremely helpful.

#MEDSCHOOLADVICE: MAKING IMPACT IN YOUR CAREER

 Making   meaningful Impact in your Career by Joshua Tolulope Idowu

The future is so bright for those who are not just ready to get on their tracks but to run!  Not just running but running purposefully! Ben Carson is great a successful neurosurgeon who separated a craniopagus Siamese twins but he did not start from there, he ran a race in Medical School, Professor Devauchalle an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon ran the race in dental school and he was the first person to carry out a face transplant! You want to break grounds? Don't sit there. The exceptional ones are Moving on while the general ones are sleeping. Do you want to be a  career fellow  just interested in other peoples ideas without trying to develop yours? Someone found the cure to Malaria or some group of people and so on.
