@ TS: hey, throughout ur med life, or even b4 that, ull hear thousands of advice about becoming a doctor. they wud always say na kelangan love jud nimo pagka-doctor k or else, d jud nimo mkaya ang med skul.well, il be honest with u, i ddnt want to b a doctor in the 1st place...for so many reasons, one of them being that it would take a lot of time away from ur family and loved ones.also, a career here in d phils is not so promising financially. but then wen u start ur internship, kanang makakta na ka ug patients, u might have a change of heart. for me, 1st year med was the toughest year. 2nd year was ok2 lng k medtech man gud akong pre-med so familiar na ang subjects. 3rd year lisod pud. 4th year pinaka-kapoy k internship so lowest form of life ka but lingaw ra pud bya. its really up to u jud f u want to pursue this. weigh the pros and cons. remember na there r ppl hu wud have wanted to bcome a doctor but then wla nlng k d nla kaya financially. but i also hav friends hu quit med n r now happy with their lives. just make sure na whatever decision u make, ull be ready to accept the consequences...
good luck!

tnx doc....
1st yr was tough... i found histology really hard.... pero 2nd yr is tougher.... swerte lagi mga medtech..murag wala lang sa ilaha ang medtech-related na subjs...which mostly are our major subjects....

i know..i should be grateful kay despite sa kalisod sa life karon my parents opted to send me to med school... they didnt force me..that's for sure...though it had always been assumed that i'll one day study medicine... it's much tougher to quit now kay diba?wala q gipugos ani... niya kalit lang mustop na q..
pero tinuod jud na oi, di nako mafeel na happy q.. i also never wanted to become a doctor...my passion is not for medicine..i wanted to become an architect/painter/photographer.. pero narealize nako dili sayon i.pursue ang ing.ato na career..... dili man promising ang pagkadoctor diri financially pero at least kahibaw q na stable... and that time naglisod q papa (who was in that line of work) so tan-aw nako mas maau nlng guro musunod q sako mama...pero, it's not easy pala...
i've thought of the possibility of quitting...well actually doc, upat mi na gnahan na mu.quit karon.... mangaply nalng q abroad ana...pero...it's hard pala to decide...much more tell your parents that you cant take the pressure anymore...

can i ask doc, what did you do para makaovercome ka sa stresses that med life can offer?
and, naa ba mo'y classmates na cheater pud?? la lang...kay one the reasons nganong di q ganahan sad kay nay cheaters...and they make themselves known to us....nya bati lang kay if ever mudako ilang grades ang uban gamay, ang mean mutaas sad...last yr, na'y nahagbong tungod ana...makalagot kay ang cheaters na tagsa ra musud nakapasar tungod sa cheating and TPs..

thanks!

[purisima]

@maddox_pitt: how did i overcome stress? with the help of my family, non-med friends and medskul classmates. i remember during my 1st year, neuro-ana mi ato, then nkalit nlng jud kog ka-burn out. bisag unsaon nakog tuon, wa na jud msulod sa akong utok. i cried and told my mom na nanglisod na jud ko.she told me na whatever i decide on, they will support me. that took off a lot of pressure. u need to unwind jud sometimes. there are things u can share w ur fam. there are things u can share with ur medskul classmates that u cant share with ur non-med friends and vice-versa. also, learn to laugh hehe every now and then our batch has received comments from nurses and residents we've worked with na na-doctor nalng daw mi but wa lng ghapn mi buot hehe im about to start my residency and ill be honest with u, things dont get any easier after u finish med skul. mas daghn na kag responsibilities and ppl expect so much of u. but do ur best nlng jud. u can only do so much. becoming a doctor is a vocation. it entails a lot of sacrifices and the rewards arent always sufficient. i think u knw that already.
re the cheaters in ur class, dont mind them nlng. its not a competition btw. they will suffer lang pud nig internship nla k dha na ka mka encounter na kalit lng ka pangutan on sa consultant hehe try ur best to have a good grasp of the basics like physio, anatmy etc k magcge jud na balik2.

[purisima]

@ maddox_pitt: uv mentioned that the cheaters in ur class just study the tp insted of reading the books ryt? actually, kami pud at one time or another, reviewed old tp's. esp sa finals dba at the end of the school year na ang coverage k hit anywer, d man jd nimo ma-cover tanan. dont get me wrong ha. we still read our books jud but kelangn man sad gud ug gamay nga wina-is sahay. if u think about it, wen ur revwing old tps, its like ur revwing lng pd wat uv read. ang nka-pait lng k sahay, ang ubn teachers, they recycle the tps thats y ang ubn na nagrely lng jud sa tp and nothing els, mas dagko na hnuon ug kuha sa katong mga gabasa jud ug books. bsta,dont mind them nlng jud. paniguro lng sa imong self nga ikaw nkasabot ka sa imong gbasa. kami sauna k magstudy group mi. pero sahay sa pila ka-hours among gspend para study, murag 50% naspend sa cgeg chika2, 30% naspend sa cgeg kaon ug bsag unsa and 20% sa pag study jud hehe btw oi, do wat works for u. good luck!

[ssssarzzz]

uhm... ti.ti lang ko... ok ra ba ang PT para pre-med? ask lang ko kay ganahan baya unta ko ma.doctor pero ambut lang.. ni.ana ang classmates nako nga kung disidido ko mag.doctor kay mag.medtech nalang daw ko pero ni.ana sad ang family doc namo nga ok rang PT... i'm confused na

We can do things when we use significance as our inspiration (that last acronym after your last name?)....
I believe HAPPINESS is the ultimate reason to be able to achieve things without the feeling of being pressured like you almost drag yourelf to be one.
Whatever you do, once you love what you are doing, everything is a breeze.
The world is so complicated on its own, I cant imagine what would it be like to do things of which your heart is not into it.
