5 sites every med student should know about!

Folllow my studygram:Studyspiration

When it comes to medicine, understanding the principles is key, however it might be quite difficult to understand even though you attend lectures and read all the chapters, which is pretty normal since most of the times neither professors or text books make any great sense - therefore these different sites, or youtube channels can help you out a great deal. Here are a collection of some that I have found useful and that pretty much everyone I know makes use of. 

1. Dr. Najeeb (https://www.drnajeeblectures.com/). You will often find medical students talking about this guy. He is probably what would be called a superhero between med students and that is for a good reason. His website features tons of videos that explains pretty much everything. He does it in an interactive way where he engages the audience and draws on the whiteboard so that you can follow along. This does cost money - however if you can split the bill between some of your friends, or you can use some other students login (if they are that generous ofcourse) 

2. Kenhub (https://www.kenhub.com/). Now this website is amazing for studying anatomy or the central nervous system (I think they are working on expanding their content, but this is what they have for now). It is very good because it gives you a simple overview over what you need to learn. The content on here consists of videos, articles and many quizesses which I loved during anatomy.

This website costs a monthly fee (there are also other options for payment), however you can split this with some friends as well, I shared my account with my study buddy. 

3. Khan academy (https://da.khanacademy.org/). You have probably stumbled across some of their videos on youtube, however they also have a website where all of these videos have been compiled and they have made up this “interactive” system where you gain points for finishing videos. this is for FREE. Yes you heard right free. 

4. Anatomy zone (Youtube channel) Now this is almost an essentiel for every semester that you do. In almost all of your courses you need a little bit of anatomy, and thankfully this youtube channel has got you covered. It is soo good! I mostly make use of this channel, because honestly they just do it so well and its free. 

5. Armando Hasudungan (Youtube channel). This very talented artist, makes all the medical concepts become illustrative and thereby making the understanding of the principles that we cannot see become more easy. 

Study hard, study smart and stay motivated, 

Love,

Some TED talks that will change your life.

How to make stress your friend by Katie McGonial (14.5 minutes) 

“Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.”

8 secrets of success by Richard St.John (3.5 minutes)

Why do people succeed? Is it because they’re smart? Or are they just lucky? Neither. Analyst Richard St. John condenses years of interviews into an unmissable 3-minute slideshow on the real secrets of success.

A simple way to break a bad habit by Judson Brewer (9.5 minutes)

Can we break bad habits by being more curious about them? Psychiatrist Judson Brewer studies the relationship between mindfulness and addiction — from smoking to overeating to all those other things we do even though we know they’re bad for us. Learn more about the mechanism of habit development and discover a simple but profound tactic that might help you beat your next urge to smoke, snack or check a text while driving.

Don’t regret regret by Kathryn Schulz (17 minutes)

We’re taught to try to live life without regret. But why? Using her own tattoo as an example, Kathryn Schulz makes a powerful and moving case for embracing our regrets.

How to make hard choices by Ruth Chang (14.5 minutes)

Here’s a talk that could literally change your life. Which career should I pursue? Should I break up — or get married?! Where should I live? Big decisions like these can be agonizingly difficult. But that’s because we think about them the wrong way, says philosopher Ruth Chang. She offers a powerful new framework for shaping who we truly are.

The danger of silence by Clint Smith (4 minutes) 

We spend so much time listening to the things people are saying that we rarely pay attention to the things they don’t,“ says poet and teacher Clint Smith. A short, powerful piece from the heart, about finding the courage to speak up against ignorance and injustice.

How to speak so that people want to listen by Julian Treasure (10 minutes)

Have you ever felt like you’re talking, but nobody is listening? Here’s Julian Treasure to help. In this useful talk, the sound expert demonstrates the how-to’s of powerful speaking — from some handy vocal exercises to tips on how to speak with empathy. A talk that might help the world sound more beautiful.

Your body language shapes who you are by Amy Cuddy (21 minutes)

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.

The happy secret to better work by Shawn Anchor (12 minutes) 

We believe we should work hard in order to be happy, but could we be thinking about things backwards? In this fast-moving and very funny talk, psychologist Shawn Achor argues that, actually, happiness inspires us to be more productive.

A call to men by Tony Porter (11 minutes) [TW: graphic desc. of rape] 

At TEDWomen, Tony Porter makes a call to men everywhere: Don’t “act like a man.” Telling powerful stories from his own life, he shows how this mentality, drummed into so many men and boys, can lead men to disrespect, mistreat and abuse women and each other. His solution: Break free of the “man box.”

With Stephen Hawking’s passing, today is a sad day for science. But amongst all his praise and achievements in the fields of physics, for me personally his biggest achievement was making a grand, full life despite the terrible misfortune of being diagnosed with ALS. It would have been easy to become a recluse, embittered with the hand he’d been dealt, a brilliant misanthrope. But this was a man who maintained his sense of humor and refused to be mentally beaten. Three years ago, he told One Direction fans that the theory of alternate universes could provide a reality where Zayn Malik was still in the band. He conducted an interview with John Oliver where his factual, deadpan delivery was funnier than his interviewer, managing the cheekiest grins as he did so. And let us not forget that Stephen Hawking is the only person to have ever portrayed themselves in a Star Trek episode (Next Generation, “Descent, Part 1″), where he appeared alongside actors portraying Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton, whom he proceeded to defeat in poker.

Hawking’s observations on black hole radiation, string theory, alternate universes and artificial intelligence are things that will probably forever remain beyond most of us. But we could all learn a thing or two from his humanity.

The passing of Stephen Hawking is a devastating loss for humankind. He’s shaped the way so many of us think about space, about life, and about the universe. If you’re grieving today, we understand. May we suggest you click on the links in the post above? Reflecting on his mammoth wit, charm, and intelligence might make you feel a little bit better.

Rest in peace, Stephen Hawking.

Reconstruction

Oh my. I haven’t visited this Tumblr account for YEARS. I think I made this account back in 8th grade, I was a huge fan of anime and manga back then. I don’t watch anime and read manga as much now though. Over the years, I also exposed myself to different things, such as video games, asian dramas, american and european television series, boy bands such as The Vamps, novels of famous Young Adult fiction writers and going to sleepovers, taking trips with my friends, just socializing, joining numerous organizations in and out of school and pursuing academic excellence. My 8th grade self would never have thought I would be like this now. I’m currently a grade 12 student, and would start college a few months from now. Blogging has started to interest me, and maybe I should use this account rather than to start a fresh one. I hope everything will go well.

SONA Reaction

President Rodrigo Duterte has made many promising plans for the nation in his very first SONA. I am glad that finally, things will have significant changes. This is a very important thing for our country because we're still a developing country. We need to improve more to make the Filipinos living here feel more happy and secured. Someone like him is a leader that we need. Someone who knows things, has a strong personality, and isn't submissive even to political leaders of other countries. This way, other countries wouldn't step on us easily. I agree with what he said in his speech that there is a need to lower the personal and corporate taxes because our taxes are very high compare to other, more developed, countries. We are actually the third country in Southeast Asia that have the highest tax rates (next to Myanmar and Thailand). Also, countries with lower rates of tax have lower cases of corruption. The freedom of information bill has been a subject on meetings in the government for decades and it will only start to take effect on Duterte's administration. Another major work of his administration is the operation to hunt down and arrest drug users in the country, which had been a problem for many years now, probably since 1990′s.

These are just some of the things that President Duterte talked about in his SONA. But how can we make sure that all those things will not remain as just plans? Well, for me, I guess we just have to put our faith in the duterte administration and believe that change really is coming to us. After all, by the election, we entrusted the next 6 years of the Philippines to his leadership.

Epilogue

A number of days had passed.

In the middle of the morning light, Boruto was playing games as usual.

He was starting from the first level, with a new character.

Beside him, his still-bandaged mother was mending his clothes. It was the jacket that had gotten tattered when he’d protected Sarada.

Next to his mother, his dad was reading the newspaper, as well as being a partner for Himawari’s playfulness.

“…Mom.” Boruto said, “You can just leave it like that.”

“Eh?”

“It’s cool like that.”

Chapter five: Uzumaki Boruto!

Naruto was inside darkness.

He didn’t think they’d gotten very far from the village of Konohagakure, but, rather than saying this was some place he didn’t remember, it’d be more accurate to say this was a parallel world.

It was terribly cold, and distortions rippled through the sky. It plainly wasn’t the airspace of his own world.

Kaguya had held the power of sending people into parallel worlds too… Is this something like a kekkai, or a subspace?

About half of it looked like the second-hand knowledge he had of the games his son played, but this place shouldn’t be all that different from his own world.

Naruto’s movements were hindered.

He was physically restrained.  He quickly realised he was bound to a pillar.

“Just this one has been very special…he’ll take some time.” The young ore named Momoshiki commented.

His arm was stretched out over Naruto’s stomach. He was sucking in his chakra.

The pain wasn’t at the level of incapacitating agony, but Naruto didn’t have any intentions of pleasing his captors by begging for his life.

Chapter four: From within Darkness

The third exam had all the fuss of a festival.

Besides the obvious attendants of the genin-participants families, the spectator seats were crammed to the brim with influential people from the villages, the Daimyou, ninja guards, samurai, and the heads of large corporations.

Stands popped up here and there, as well as pedlars selling beer, as well as various stands selling the speciality foods of each village. It had already become a huge deal.

Of course, it went without being said that within those spectators, Boruto’s father, mother, and little sister were seated in a special seating as well.

Chapter three: the Chuunin Exams

A boulder was destroyed by a  huge Rasengan.

“Did you manage to create such a huge Rasengan in just one day?”

Sasuke’s words held a little disappointment in them, but Boruto didn’t notice, too drunk on the power of the Gauntlet that Katasuke had given him.

The shells which were loaded inside the Gauntlet could fire the jutsu hidden inside them very simply. And the Rasengan was no exception.

Of course, the Rasengan here wasn’t made using Boruto’s power. It was the power of the person who had made several Rasengan to help out with experiments, who didn’t know what they would be used for…it was Konohamaru’s Rasengan. 

In short, Boruto was doing the same thing as handing in a test paper with someone else’s work on it. 

However, right now, for Boruto, his dream of being acknowledged by Sasuke was more important than the methods.

Even this is a ninja’s effort! The ends justify the means!

Both his parents were too busy with work and the adults around him pampered him too much, so he had no one to help him realise the simple truth that they weren’t justified. 

That was why Sasuke didn’t say anything to him.

“I’m different from my dad!” Boruto said, “Our abilities are different!”

“You certainly are different from your father…” Sasuke said, “Although I hadn’t wanted to think you were.”

Chapter two: Deprivation

The door opened.

There stepped in a man who couldn’t possibly have come here, but who couldn’t possibly have stayed absent.

“Yo,” While looking a little embarrassed, the Seventh Hokage…. Uzumaki Naruto gave his son and daughter a clumsy smile.

The hours felt like a dream.

His father was here, his mother was here, and his little sister was smiling.

Nobody was lonely.

Large, piping hot chicken taken out from the oven.

Himawari’s sparkling eyes.

Confetti scattering everywhere from the crackers.

His mother, looking she was having fun for the first time in so long.

And, his father, who warmly watched over her expression.

It would’ve been nice if this lasted forever.

If things could just stay like this.

Boruto thought.

He wished.

Translator’s Note: Phew, sorry for being late, had a bit of a rough time in rl world lol. This is a reallly long chapter (40 pages, 6.5 k) so I advise reading it bit by bit. It also answers quite a lot of questions. Father-son tension, and new gen dynamics abound! (Also I’ve had no time to proofread, so I’ll check for typos later, apologies if you see any.)

Chapter one: a Hero’s Child

There was a young boy who was always gazing at the sight of his father’s large back.

.

His father was a hero.

He wasn’t an ordinary hero.

He was a hero who’d saved the world.

Even inside the successive Hokage who’d spanned seven generations, his father’s name was the kind that would be written in gold, a hero among heroes.

The Seventh Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto.

That was his father’s name.

It was an incredibly dazzling name…and a heavy one as well.

.

His father wasn’t only responsible with looking after their own family.

The boy wasn’t so much of a child that he couldn’t understand that fact.

“But, that’s why I keep telling you…that isn’t a good excuse to not look my way y’know…”

But, because it was unavoidable that the boy would end up feeling like that, nobody scolded or reprimanded him for those feelings.
