Of course "God's chosen people" think they own God's rain. Why should anyone be surprised at this LAW in isnotreal. Yes, you read that right. It is law.

I went to a coffee shop to study. It was hella productive. Did 30 MKSAP nephrology questions AND made anki cards. Love that.

I went put and studied with my friends today. I also found an amazing way to actually retain info in residency; it’s doing what i did in med school but with a twist (wow shocker). I’m going to be making anki decks. No surprise there.

I was hoping to manage a bit of studying but i appear to be easily distracted. I have an exam on the 15th of December that centers around Nephrology and Cardiology and I’m a tad bit scared. Could be my imposter syndrome. I would never know.

Im going to try to squeeze in a few pages of MKSAP reading.

Still love internal medicine though, and trying to love myself.

Internal medicine residency diary

Internal medicine residency is hard. It is mentally and physically taxing. And honestly, not being able to talk about it with anyone makes it ten times worse. Hence why im breaking my silence. Welcome to my reputation era.

Someone’s sodium was 128 and nobody even mentioned it. On medicine someone would have pulled out a whole-ass flow chart and gone to through every possible cause.

My doctor has no mercy. His lectures are LOOOOONG and wordy and apparently Kaplan and First Aid aren’t enough. But they will have to do because i have no time 🥲✌🏼

Now i am preparing for my internal medicine final next week (june 9th).

It will include; cardiology, nephrology, hemato-oncology, and pulmonary. Plus everything pediatrics related to them.

The only reason as to why i am not panicking is that i am SO IN LOVE with internal medicine that i just don’t mind it. It can beat me up for all i care.

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND BIOSTATISTICS AND EPIDEMIOLOGY. Yall have no idea how happy i am. Currently going through the lectures. The one you see on my screen is a presentation prepared by yours truly.

I finished going through the First aid and Boards and beyond videos, which practically saved my ass. I highly recommend watching them (for any topic).

The worst thing in medschool is that we have to learn biostatistics. I HATE IT. I don’t understand how i find Neuro anatomy nice and somewhat easy yet cant even grasp the concept of biostat. Hopefully i manage to understand it. I mean, i finally know the difference between the study types and how to calculate a bunch of things. That must be a good start.

Today I finished one of the lectures i dread most. Tomorrow I’ll be starting Biostatistics and I don’t think im ready
