[30 June 2007] Starting to feel the pressure
Imagine this: You're just in your 3rd week in med school.

You come to class. You don't understand anything. But you see your classmates nodding to what the professor was saying, raising their hands, answering his questions.

You come to a review. You don't remember what they're talking about. But you see your classmates calling out the parts of the brain even before the student holding the reviews did, correcting him even, throwing in explanations and associating its function.

You go home. And you start asking youself:

Why am I here?
Am I in the right place?
Am I really supposed to be here?
Can I really do this?

Then, you cry.

Comments
cheer up.

it isn't as bad as you think, and it gets better as you go along.

med students are like ducks: all you see above the water is the duck moving gracefully and calmly through the pond; underneath, he's paddling like crazy.

the trick to enjoying med school is not taking it too seriously.
