Our exam results came out today. While I would have been happy merely to have passed, I was actually awarded a merit. Medical degrees aren't graded (well, would you actually want to know that your doctor only qualified with a 2:2?), but my university does offer honours to the top 15% of the year; the merit/distinction allows us to accrue points towards these honours. Although I thought that I struggle to keep up with the 'hard science' part of the course, I have been finding the more clinically based element of the course makes it much more accessible.
I've also started doing some part-time work for the local hospital as a nursing assistant. Although the benefits are largely fiscal, it's also great to be able to increase the amount of patient contact I get. It can be very difficult to talk to a patient who is stressed, or angry, depressed or in pain. Despite its noble intentions, medicine is a highly nepotistic field, where it's not so much what you know as whom. Most of my classmates haven't done much in the way of work experience; usually it's a few days shadowing a consultant who's a friend of Daddy; I find it worrying that tomorrow's doctors can prescribe cyctotoxic drugs but don't know how to hold a patient's hand.
This is a blog about what being a medical student is really like - from the rigours of the course and stress of exams, to the general ups-and-downs of university life. This blog is really for anyone who is interested in studying medicine themselves.
