Pharmacology

Unlike the silly Pathology, Pharmacology is not branched. It deals with the study of the mode of action of drugs, as well as their uses and effects.

Hence, we can all agree Pharmacology prepares doctors for disease management and Pathology for diagnosis.

Thus, evert course in the medical school plays a function and role in the moulding of a complete medical practitioner. Each, contributing to the skills required for diagnosis, management and prognosis.

I kinda like Pharmacology but mehn the course is so volatile, you need to read countless before it can stay....

Pls bros,is biochem a hard course
Biochemistry is very challenging but very interesting. I studied Biochemistry and for me d most interesting part is thenMetabolic Pathways. It can be very demanding but it is so fascinating to see how intelligent minds were able to elucidate numerous biological reactions in clear molecular terms. The limitations to studying it in Nigerian universities with ill equipped labs

Most people will notice i hardly talk abt Biochemistry, well, thats because me saying i hate biochem is the understatement of the century.

From my sec school days, chemistry has always been a mystery i culdnt solve. If i were a detective, chemistry will b dat one crime that will kip me awake every nyt.

So its nt a suprise why i hate biochemistry. One things sure tho, i knew i had to pass even if i dont lyk the course. So i had to start preparin way ahead, so i dont loose my dream cos of CHEMISTRY!!!!!!

I eventually found out not only is biochemistry simple, its in fact suited to my ability to cram anytin up there. All that didnt increase my love for the course, it gave me a leverage to tackle that mystery.

I stopped seeing biochemistry as a mystery instead as that roomate who snores all nyt bt u just hav to put up wit it till u leave the damn University. Well, thats Biochemistry
Biochemistry for me d most interesting course especially d Metabolic Pathways.

Well I guess the textbook u used may be another factor cos I use to hate Chemistry in high school but fell in love with it in my university especially Organic Chemistry.
I spent a lot of money of good textbooks many of which were foreign authored as they were colourfully illustrated with glossy papers which wud be very expensive now with dollar rate. But it is worth it as the textbooks wud still be invaluable even when u go for ur postgraduate studies.
I used Lehningers Principles of Biochemistry which was and is still my Bible till date. Also, Harpers Biochemistry. Another very wonderful one was General, Organic and Biochemistry by Denniston, Caret and Toppings published by Mc Graw Hills. Then in my department I boasted that no one had the number and the worth of textbooks I had. Besides I bought books on Organic Chemistry like Morrison and Boyd's, Organic Chemistry of Natural Products, also Microbiology, Biostatistics, Cell Biology, Physical Chemistry. Yet I no get first class angry

First year Optometry student UNILORIN. The critical thing about being in that school is that you must fight for the colour your ID cards carries. Crossing to the next class is the most important stuff. I will bookmark this page as it has been giving me insights on literatures I will have to acquire for my studies. Welldone, jargo89.

Re: Drey's Anatomy: An Insight Into My First Preclinical Year by jargo89(m): 10:16am On Jun 29, 2017
Now my school runs an intercalated kind of calender from 400 level upwards, in which you tend to have short postings in Medicine and Surgery till you have your final posting in 600 level.

Terrific right? YEAH!!!!!

That means we get a taste of ward rounds, calls, outpatient clinic time etc. That sounds all sorts of fun.

First week of December 2016, we resumed for an Introduction to Clinical skill (CLS) a.k.a Come, Look and Sign. It is actually a 4 weeks introduction to Medicine and Surgery, but it got that infamous alias due to medical students gaining absolutely nothing during the 4 weeks. We actually only looked and sign.

NOTE: I wont be discussing much about activities during the clinical periods; as its against medical ethic. Sorry.

Re: Drey's Anatomy: An Insight Into My First Preclinical Year by jargo89(m): 10:44am On Jun 29, 2017
During the 4 weeks, I got some information:

1. Hierarchy is a serious business in medicine and we medical students are the bottom of the food chain. The food chain kinda looks like

Consultant - Think the Lion, the Tiger, the boss, the King. When he's around; everybody gats behave or risk the abuse of your life or better get sent out (It is actually better)
Senior Registrar - Think wolves, Cheetah, the Lieutenant, 2nd in command, Igbakeji Orisa (lol). When top boss arent around, he runs the show. But when he's around, baba gats be gentle. He's not above correction from the consultant, although that rarely happens especially in the presence of minnows like us.
Junior Registrar - Think Stoke City (football lovers), the foxes and hyena of medical food chain. They are as mid-table as you can get. They have authority over House officers and students but are prey to the consultants and Senior Reg. However, there is a saying that most things you learn as a student in medical school, comes from the Junior Reg. This is because they arent too far to take a look at the bottom and they actually have lots of things upstairs (no offence, House officers *tongue out*).
House officers (HO): Where do I start? People call them the dog of the hospital. Thats enough description but I'll bite more. Who runs the lab? HO. Who spends more than 100 hours in the hospital in a week? HO. Who is almost forever in the ward? HO. Who receives the most insults from Consultants? HO. Who is blamed for mishaps in the ward? HO. Who is meant to be everywhere and at all time? God (HO in the hospital tho). I pity these guys, they work their butt off. Well, they get paid, so wetin concern me sef?
Students? Sighs...We are the definition of food in food chain. You see the HO up there has more mouth than us. We are the relegation candidates (football lovers); the Sunderlands and Swanseas. Hell, we play in Division 2. The students are further divided into subgroups:
600 level-----sabi small
500 level------still trying
400 level------who are they?

Yeah, so during my CLS, i was a nobody in the hospital. We were just the back benchers. We dont go for ward rounds. We spend most time with the nurses and lab attendants. Choi!!! We were more fridge repairers than doctors...lol.

But that would change in CLS 2 after the Block 1 PathPharm....cant wait

Disclaimer: The fact I used 'He' to describe the medical positions above doesnt mean females arent allowed. It was just for generalisation. Sorry ladies...*smiles*

2. Doctors and Nurses have an eternal beef.

Well, this is not always the case but common, the tension is palpable. I dont know for certain, why this could be but I would make a guess its due to anger generated in response to the dominating nature of doctors.

Most times, we the bottom of the food chain bear the brunt. The nurses shout at you for little mistakes. Scream at you for placing your bag somewhere. Almost tear you to pieces in situations you arent aware of you blocking their path.

However, one has to be patient with them and humble, cos you learn alot from them. Especially how to develop a rapport with patients, how to dress wounds, give injections, phlebotomy and bed dressing. So nurses are our needed enemies (BCH-esque) LOL!!!

3. I am cold inside.

Lol....I feel like I am the medical version of Hitman. There are so many times (especially in the A $ E) when you see some patients and their conditions and you believe your reflexive action should be running away. However, I just feel NOTHING. Most of my mates would be either hiding or making funny faces. But my brother, me awill just be feeling cool.

There was an example of a patient with DMFS and the leg was gangrenous and so bad looking. Trust me, it was bad looking. And smelly, very smelly. Most of my classmates, even seniors, stayed away from this patient. Mehn, i near am ooo. Even looked deep into the gangrene, seeing the bones and all.

That leaves some questions unanswered:

* Am I a Vampire? I cant be, cos I walk during the day (in sun) and I don suck blood (pfft).

* Do I have an icy heart? For God sake, I did Anatomy. How can an iced heart pump out flowing blood to my organs. So canceled out.

* Probably I am the Medical hitman then, a man with ice in his veins (Anatomy!!!!!!!).

Funny!!!

Anyways, Its a good one as I would learn not to get emotional with my patients. But does it make me a good doctor?
* I'll think about it.
