My first year experience so far

So its almost been 7 months of getting in gmc, i do have few thoughts about it.

It is incredibly draining and toxic, i expected to have a certain level of toxicity but damn like this is far beyond what I have or what I could have imagined in thousand years.

Everyone is still in competitive mode, like silly comparisons as far as in my college, it is like that, this gets so draining.

MBBS is hard. i mean i thought before joining the course, on how hard can it truly be, but wow this is insanity, the amount of material/content one must read and recall, and here my university give exams almost every week.

I thought having cleared the hardert NEET, this would be a breeze, i got humbled so bad.

The toxicity is real, like constant humiliation from the profs and other seniors is degrading.

And the infamous "personality development programme" just is so fucking annoying, all the rules to be followed and the stupid ego game being played just takes such a insane mental toll, it is so draining, its like you lose yourself by the time you complete the course.

Its so exhausting, and i bet i have more hell to be seen later in the upcoming years,

The people in this sub werent joking, this is insanity, no wonder the rants, and the arrogance, this shit really does take a toll on your mental health or whatever health you had to begin with.

Micro

Honestly apurba shastry is great but again it is very volatile. I don't watch any lectures and that's why I don't know how to revise from the textbook.

Any ideas on how to recollect most of the info ... Specially lab diagnosis coz that seems to be quite high yield...

I suffer with gareeb ambitious parents

Ok so I am a non-indian who wants to study mbbs in India. I did my 11th and 12th from HSC. I passed the exam but I will have to take a partial drop for NEET. Even if I am taking partial drop with bsc I have to pay $1252 to the uni plus tuition fees to the college. And I do not think medical would be any cheaper. Btw both private and government charge foreigners the same(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) and I can't even go back to Nepal (parents aren't letting me).

Suggest me ways to have less fees. My parents are sucked dry by a lakh😭🙏 sahyog

Uni in 2.5 months very low prep is Selective anat V.S. , Rm prasad/ jambhulkar, uni notes for physio enough for passing?

I just want to pass because that's the most that's possible now. I know i don't have time to read standard textbooks so i want sources which are concise as well as understandable.

Is selective anatomy vishram singh enough to pass anat?

I don't understand jambhulkar notes directly and i either need video lectures or textbook reading to actually understand the notes. Because i directly read the notes as my first resource. What should i do so that i directly understand and retain the notes itself?

Please help. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression and that's why i wasted my 6-8 months but I'm ready to give my all now, I'm just confused and need a proper plan to start.

I really wish not to fail.

Toxic friends.

So I have actually 4 good friends including me that's what I thought until recently I saw there new version every person of our group is friends with another group, they'll easily go to the other group even if it means to not care about the current ones.

I think I shouldn't say it a group were just four people but one of them says weird things about me to the girls to idk why, to impress them or what. And one only comes to me when he needs me, he won't keep me above the other people and will go with keep others over me maybe his extended friend group they have other friends to group study other to hangout other to go gym, other to go play sports but can't see me, when i said i want to go gym i want to play sports.

One is my roommate, he's good but sometimes he also do the same thing but it's tolerable, I'm not talented not popular not a academically bright to fit in with my friends, I get the hint of it when our cultural fest was going on but it's getting evident that they don't actually like me, and just keep me as a side friend, I tell them everything where I'm going if they want to come but they don't even think about me. Huh! I can't even take stand for myself.

I think I should draw my boundries and clear them from now on. And try changing to myself with new year as this academic session is almost over.

I wish I could have seen things earlier even though I was aware now I think I really don't have any friends in college left, as i sticked to these 4 from starting.

I came to med school looking for people, now I just want peace

I joined medical college thinking it would be the beginning of a new life. New people, new experiences, close friendships, maybe even people I’d finally feel understood around. But somewhere in these past 6 months, I feel like I’ve changed a lot

I did make friends. Some stayed, some drifted away, some situations ended because of me, some because people just changed. I got attached too quickly to people, overthought a lot of things, expected depth from temporary bonds and ended up hurting myself more than anyone else. I think somewhere along the way I forgot how to just “be” around people without constantly questioning where I stand with them

What hurts the most is not even losing people, but realising how emotionally exhausting it gets when you keep trying to hold connections together while feeling unwanted at the same time

Medical college has honestly made me more isolated than I’ve ever been. Academically I’m struggling, mentally I’m tired, socially I’ve stopped expecting much from anyone anymore. I used to yearn a lot for friendships and closeness, but now I just feel drained. At this point I genuinely just want peace. I want to focus on surviving first year, fixing my health, becoming disciplined and learning how to be okay with myself

Maybe I’ll still make meaningful friendships in the future, maybe I won’t. But I think I’ve stopped chasing the idea of “finding my people” desperately. I’ve realised not everyone gets a perfect friend group or a “college family” and maybe that’s okay

And honestly, if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s this, don’t lose yourself trying to be liked by people. Be kind, be genuine, but don’t build your entire self-worth around friendships, replies, attention or validation. People come and go a lot faster in life than we expect, so learn how to stay with yourself too

For now, I just want to learn how to enjoy my own company again

I did quite well in these two terminals but now i am scared cause i just haven't been able to focus on studying at all and listening to others answer in class is making me panic me even more. Seniors said it could be cause i am feeling burnt out , but i need to come back no! Please please someone help me. I don't wanna ruin my pre university and main university exams!!!

PLS HELP GUYS !!!!!!!

I used to stay in a shared room with my roommate, im someone who was always used to having my own room and everything, im in a deemed uni for mbbs so like yeah but i got 94 percent in 12th so like yes, and i passed all my internals so far, i CANNOT tell you guys how much i ran around to study, ive explored everything- college library, hostel study hall, a local paid library, hostel stairs, hostel basement, random sofas in the hostel etc…
And i did it, i was dying cause i had to plan getting out of my room with my books without my roommate noticing and study cause i just COULDNT with her in the room.

Ok so now, ive got my own single room finally after begging in the hostel, and even though its my own personal room now, i am not studying shit, i havent studied for more than 3 weeks almost now and i feel so horrible because now i literally have my place.
I dont know what weird situation this is, its not like id wanna move back with my old roommate but overall i feel like shit i think ive gotten too relaxed idk man

As far as my knowledge is concerned I think I've failed my 2nd Internal examination of Physiology

How will it affect my final university scores?

What importance do these marks hold?

Will it downgrade my final university scores too?

This scene is so good

Watching House makes you question medicine, humanity, and why hospital administrators still tolerate him. But somehow, between the insults and the chaos, the man always cracks the case.
