GT Doctors & Medical Students Thread #3

[unicorn_ChicMD]

^hi sis! just to appease you, i also started med school in my late twenties. almost all of my classmates were fresh out of college: very naive about life in general but very competitive and hardworking. at first, i really had difficulty relating to them but eventually i adjusted. i even had(have) a barkada in medschool who are 6-5 years younger than me. they don't seem to mind naman. i guess ang mahirap lang for him is adjusting to the strict schedule and really sticking to it. the 1st 3 years(as what the other sisters pointed out here) will be ok kasi aral2 ang focus mo but when you get to clerkship and PGI, lalamunin ka na ng sistema. walang holiday and breaks. mahirap kung mahirap, minsan wala kang tulog straight 36 hours(siguro naps in between) and ligo.  You will miss the people outside the hospital-family and friends. but then it's the life we choose, so we manage. and if you really are passionate about it, masaya siya. kung mainit ulo mo at gusto mo na mag quit, itulog mo lang iyan and dinner with your medschool buddies, ok ka na ulet for another round of duty. Sabi nga ng isang mentor ko, not everyone is called to be a part of God's healing ministry. It's a calling.

Good luck to your husband. I'm sure kakayanin niya iyan. And our motto always: Rest if you must, but don't quit! Masaya makakita ng pasyente na napagaling mo or natulungan mo kahit in small way

ang mahirap talaga yung araw-araw pumapasok, doesn't matter if holiday or what not. ansakit sa puso pag gigising ako ng sobrang aga on a sunday or a holiday and my whole street is literally asleep, naririnig ko pa yung aircon nila na bukas pa lol. habang ako hustling hustling kahit dec 25 pa yan. lol.

^korek doctora! nakakainggit sila! pero sabi nga ni joey de leon, "mas masarap matulog kung pagod." that kept me going. hehe.

what kept me going after a "from day"  ay yung sinabi ng isang residente ko na ganun naman daw talaga buhay, magduduty ka, matotoxic, mapapaaway or mapapagalitan ng seniors, ikain at itulog na lang daw, tomorrow is another day.

Hello Doctors! I just want to thank all of you for inspiring me. I am now a licensed doctor. GT is a part of it. Thank you and cheers!

Hi mga gt doctors.  Ask ko lang, buhay pa ba ang pinoy.md na website? Hindi ko na kasi makita e. Salamat.

Hats off talaga to medical students and medical profession. By the way guys do you consider or have ever thought of taking the medical field because you want to work abroad?

Never thought of going to med school as a stepping stone to working abroad.  I went to medical school and became a doctor because as a child I?ve always been interested in science.  Being an astronaut or a scientist was too far fetched so settled for becoming a doctor.  I ended up up working abroad though.

I have a med student boyfriend and he is really studying hard. Nakaka-awa lang minsan pag mag shi-share siya ng frustrations niya dahil sa exams, grades, mga nangyayari sa hospitals during exposure. Pero nakaka-inspire din naman kasi di biro maging doctor.

Hello Ladies,

Question, If I study Medicine In China (western medicine) Ma-re recognize ba dito sa Pinas yung pinag aralan ko? Or, Makakapag take ba ako ng board exam? hoping to get an answer asap sana. Any information or suggestion is very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello! Hoping this thread would be active again. I'm currently a medical clerk, and was wondering if I can have tips for my upcoming internship in DoH. Thank you!

hello sis omg it's been years wahaha.
well ito finally in my last year of residency!!!
just thinking na nakikinita ko na ang end of the tunnel makes me want to cry chos.
i was too busy juggling residency and giving a few minutes for myself these past years.
after EVERYTHING, it is still very difficult, all the more now that i'm a senior. nung una it was so difficult and stressful and pressure levels x 1000 because i already have juniors depending (and blindly believing in my skills and knowledge lol) but now almost half year thru my senior year (jusme sana naman di na kami iextend with the covid and all since pumpasok pa rin naman kami), i dont think of quitting as frequently as i used to. ang mindset ko na lang is pagod na ako and i wanna go home lol. di na rin ako masyadong kinakabahan every duty day. pag toxic keri lang, just another day in my life lol. the day will always end, and ayun nga, eat and sleep and tomorrow is another day.
