Surviving Medical School

If you're in medicine, you're really in, nothing else matters but getting out, as a doctor!
To survive medical school, you'll need to exhibit strength greater than Superman's, and Hercules'
Medical school is tough... medical school is challenging... It's hard surviving medical school... It's hard to enter, even harder to come out successful... The system is gruelling, each level or stage is a hurdle that we must haul ourselves over. For we who are just starting out, we need every advice and motivation we can get.  Dr. Lomaxx Matata on Nairaland medical forum couldn't have put it better. In this eschatological piece

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

MEDILAG HOTSPOTS FOR LOVERS

So you're a medico in Idi-Araba and wanna catch some fun with your *****, these places you help. At your own risk tho



MEDILAG’S BEST KEPT SECRETS

In a school that literally never sleeps, it’s hard for lovers to get some privacy to do ‘what lovers do’ but believe it or not as impossible as it may sound, whether noon or night, couples in Medilag have come up with exclusive lovers’ spots, where they brazenly carry out ‘acts’ of love. Writers club put nose to ground and sniffed out some of the secret places couples go to be alone. Well guess after this, it would no longer be a secret, Sorry guys…

10 Labour Ward Medical Students’ Call Room: We are starting with this place because the school now also knows the alternate use to which the call room is put thanks to some couples who forgot to pack all their bag and baggage and left behind a used contraceptive for one of the cleaning ladies to discover. Now, you also know why for some time medical students that were not on call couldn’t get in to the labour ward.
9 College Library: the library all over the world has always been a romantic haven for couples who like to live on the fast lane; well Medilag is not an exception! Lovers that can’t wait for the covers of darkness, hide under the covers of bookshelves. Yes, they are responsible for the creaking noise you hear while you are trying to read!
8 Stairs Of Old Great Hall: If you have ever wondered what the first floor of the Old Great Hall is used for, the couples of Medilag have the answer. Anytime between the hours of 10:00pm and 2:00am, if you climb this staircase, you run the risk of running into half naked people swapping saliva.
7 Former Football Field: the football field closure was an all round tragedy, both for sportsmen and Medilag couples. Where else could you go to make out, look at stars and feel the grass scratch your back and yeah of course, play football?
6 Anatomy Lab Car Park: reserved exclusively for couples with cars. Yep! Your guess is as good as mine; all the cars parked outside don’t belong to the anatomy staff. They don’t stay up that late…
5 London Bridge: what is the London Bridge? Well, the London Bridge gets girls into boys’ hostel after visiting hours and also houses couples who don’t mind a little P.D.A. Where is the London Bridge? Well there are 3 of them and they run between blocks 1 and 2.
4 S.O.N. Field: popularly known as the most blessed ground on the premises of Medilag going by the number of prayers that go on there daily. Well, unknown to many, as the prayer warriors pray fervently, the lovers are committing all the atrocities that are forbidden by God right on the same field!
3 Hall 36 Car Park: ever heard of a drive in cinema? Well, Hall 36 is Medilag’s equivalent of that except that there is no projector, no screen and no movie but wound up cars, hugging, kissing and well.. you get the picture!
2 New Great Hall Staircase: it’s convenient, why? It’s close to cold room, so when a boy is tired of reading all those medical jargons and needs a break, he grabs his girl and heads up the new great hall staircase and they are entertained by the music from the fellowship going on downstairs.
1 Luth Cafeteria: might not be the first place that comes to mind when you are hungry but it is definitely on a lot of text messages if you know what I mean. The maze like verandah keeps inquisitive security men away, while the tall flowers keeps off curious eyes. Recently, a couple was found frolicking on a carton on the verandahs of Luth Cafeteria and it made good talk between security guards but it also shed light on what is Medilag’s best kept secret when it comes to romance…the Luth Cafeteria!

FOUNDATION PROGRAMMES’ ENTRANCE EXAMINTATION RESULTS 2013/2014

.
FOUNDATION PROGRAMMES’ ENTRANCE EXAMINTATION RESULTS
Unilag Foundations regrets to announce that the results of the Foundation Programmes’ entrance examination is yet to be uploaded on this website.


This will be done at a later date.
Please accept our sincere apologies.

From this, its obvious the foundation extrance exam result isn't out yet and wouldn't be anytime soon. This is probably due to the ongoing ASUU strike. For the aspiring Medicos waiting for this result, keeping praying and believing the best. Find something good to do with your time to take the tension off. Remember, BE POSITIVE

Congrats to the newly admitted medical students

 
You've made it!!! Among thousands of students who applied, you were selected. Wrong, not selected like in other parts of the world, but you merited it, you passed. Medical school admission is not something you're given, you take it by force. Since the time of John Hopkins, the colleges of medicine have suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

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.
