In Sri Lanka, many medical students go through a culture of humiliation that has been normalized for generations under the excuse of “discipline” or “toughening students up.” Consultants and senior doctors sometimes publicly shame students during ward rounds, insult their intelligence in front of patients, mock their English or accents, and belittle them for minor mistakes. Some students are forced to stand for hours without breaks, threatened with repeat appointments or poor evaluations over trivial issues, and made to feel guilty for taking leave even during genuine illness or mental health struggles.
This is the kind of training we are expected to endure, yet some people still think medical education here is “easy.” What disgusts me most is the fake empathy shown by certain individual compassion that suddenly appears only in front of patients, and even then, only as long as the patients remain obedient and compliant.
I genuinely hope we are the last generation that has to suffer this kind of bullying and harassment. I hope the newer generation of doctors are simply normal human beings with good hearts, capable of breaking this cycle of generational trauma and ending the toxic mentality of “I suffered through it, so you should too” 🤢

If you are a such consultant reading this “F you for acting so entitled, we are waiting for yall to retire soon!

I have realized that almost all of us, including myself, struggle with study anxiety. It feels like we are constantly stuck in “planning mode” as a way of avoiding the discomfort of actually starting the work. Instead of studying, we spend hours organizing timetables, searching for the perfect study method, watching productivity videos, downloading apps, colorcoding notes, or trying to build the “ideal routine.” Ironically, these things make us feel productive without requiring us to face the real challenge: sitting down and studying consistently.

Planning itself becomes rewarding. It gives us a temporary sense of control, power, and accomplishment. We convince ourselves that we are preparing to succeed, when in reality we are often delaying the difficult part the uncertainty, frustration, and mental effort that come with learning. It is almost like productive procrastination.

I think social media and productivity culture have made this worse. We are constantly exposed to endless advice about “the best way to study,” “how top students learn,” “the perfect morning routine,” or “scientifically proven study hacks.” As a result, many of us have become obsessed with optimizing studying instead of actually studying. We spend more time consuming productivity content than engaging with the material itself.

The truth is, there is no magical study method that suddenly removes the discomfort of hard work. Most successful students are not successful because they found a secret technique. They succeed because they learned to tolerate the boredom, anxiety, and imperfection that come with studying. At some point, progress stops being about finding the perfect system and starts being about developing the discipline to begin, even when you do not feel ready.

I have also noticed that study anxiety often comes from fear ; fear of failure, fear of not understanding, fear of realizing how much there is left to learn, or even fear of not meeting our own expectations. Planning feels safe because it keeps us in a state of preparation without exposing us to the possibility of failure. But the longer we stay in that phase, the more overwhelming the actual work becomes.

Sometimes the most effective study method is simply to stop searching for the perfect approach and start imperfectly. Even one messy hour of real studying is worth more than ten hours spent planning the “ideal” study schedule. The uncomfortable truth is that motivation usually comes after starting, not before. Let’s just study like we used to we don’t need the perfect method or routine 😭😭😭
