ATTENTION INTERNS.

AS PROMISED, IT HAS ARRIVED.

What this is: ideas and tips from a soon-to-be R2 who has survived intern year to help you function as an effective intern so you can focus on the important things: caring for your patients, learning and growing as a physician

What this is not: an encyclopedia, a bible you follow to the letter. The Immutable Truth of Intern Year Reality. This is not going to teach you medicine. This is not geared toward a specific specialty; it is designed to be helpful to an intern starting in any specialty training program.

Where did the self-care part go? For every time I attempted to write it or sought folks to help me write it, I came to realize that everyone’s idea of self-care is different. The basic tenet of self-care in intern year is: remember that if you don’t care for yourself, who will care for your patients? So remember that you deserve and need time and attention for your sanity. And everyone gets by better when they help each other.

Common mistakes when studying

1. Studying what you’re good at

It can be quite tempting when studying, to study what you know, rather than what you’re not so good at. It’s okay to sometimes study something you know to give yourself that little confidence boost, but don’t forget to go over the things you are weakest at. Make a list of the topics you struggle with - you can identify them perhaps by doing test papers. It’s quite likely that those topics will come up so make sure you understand them

2. Underestimating work loads

When i had my GCSE exams, i went over what i had to study before i had the exam in February (exams in may), and made a timetable for studying; it turned out i had so much more to study than i realised and so little time left. I was glad that i checked at that point in the year and not any later, because my timetable brought me right up to the first day of exams, and that was just to study things once. I really recommend at the start of this school year or now (depends where you are in the semester/term) to check what work you have and make sure you don’t run out of time.

3. Passive studying

If you’re like me, there’s no way information can go in your head just by writing it down. It may work for some people, but chances are, just copying down notes straight from a textbook isn’t going to get you that A*. There are plenty of other ways to study that are effective - flashcards are great, as long as you condense the information - quizzing yourself and getting others to quiz you - trying to visualise things rather than read them, perhaps draw pictures related to processes to help you understand them.

4. Focusing too much on memory

Memorising is vital, yes. However, it isn’t any good if you have no idea what the things mean that you are memorising. Your brain works best when it can make connections to things, so if you try your best to understand what you are memorising, you’re more likely to remember it. I found that when i read something that i didn’t understand and then re-read it and tried to make sense of it, it was one of the things that i never forgot, because i took the time to go over it.

5. Cramming

We’ve all done it. Sunday night up until 11pm. It’s not nice. You wished that your past self had done some work. Your brain can’t handle cramming, especially late at night. If you do find yourself in this situation, don’t study everything; pick out the biggest topics, the ones your teachers emphasise the most, and the ones you don’t understand. Leave the rest behind and pray it doesn’t come up lol :)

so that’s all my tips for fixing bad study habits, i’m hoping to do more original help posts like this soo please follow to see them!

And then there was a tittie grab...

I think not.

Last weekend a friend stayed over and I slept beyond terribly.

She had stayed over many times in the past without any problems, but this time the room was hot, she was clammy and way too close , and I kept waking up every couple of minutes.

Unable to hit REM, I kept waking up annoyed time after time.

How do I tell her to go home in early in the morning ? How do I tell her I wanted her to come over for a few minutes, not spend the night?

She is a great friend but when she wants to hang out, it’s too intense and too long.

I couldn't tell her... last time I did she kept bringing it up for weeks.

“ Are you going to send me home?” ”Are you sure you want me staying over? because last time” yadah yadah yadah..

I did not want to be rude. So I sucked it up...but this time something different happened.

As I was sleeping (or attempting to) she was petting my arm (as she usually does) and she grazed my boob... almost caressing it.

I woke up immediately bothered and confused. “ Not only did I slept like shit, but now you are touching my tits? “ I thought unable to utter the words.

I got up and started getting ready, she noted my uneasiness and ill temper.

She left the apartment, shortly after she sent me a message saying she was sorry and that it was a mistake, etc.

I told her we can continue to be friends, but that I don’t feel comfortable with her petting me, or staying over anymore. It was fair, it was clear.

I was annoyed, mad, and now confused of her “mistake”

She was clearly shocked and hurt by my conclusions... truth is, I don’t give a fuck if it was an accident, it made me feel hell of uncomfortable.

I care for her, but whether she is straight, bi, bicurious,, gay, etc... I don’t care...I care on how I feel. I should be comfortable in my friendships, and especially in my own home,

2 Months ago a similar advance happened, where she was close to kissing me and I told her I felt very uncomfortable. She claimed she doesn't remember, and it was not her intention, etc.

Again, I D G A F if you are gay or straight or curious but stop making shit weird.

She calls me asking me why it made me feel uncomfortable, and I tell her... perhaps in her culture women are way more touchy feeling. However, for the average female - its wayyyy too touchy feeling.

She asked me to please not change with her, that she wants our friendship to perdure. I agree, with new set rules (which she claims to understand)

After that, she stopped talking to me.

Doesn't text, answer texts, sees me and purposely avoids me.

Who changed now?

Fuck you, you contradictory girl.

I valued (and still do) our friendship.

Clearly, if it happens time after time...it makes me re-think the whole violet story.

From my end, I hope you are well and I wish you the best although im annoyed and hurt from your petty behavior.

It’s a haircut kind of day Long live long hair!

First year !

Just like that, I finished first year! Full of challenges and surprises but also packed with knowledge and information. Looking back at it, I’m so thankful for the opportunity, looking optimistically towards the future and hey people, I only have one more year abroad !

Don’t just finish, finish up strong

10 days of classes 18 days left in Mexico The end of the semester is pretty damn rough But I can do it ! Let’s gooo

Dear D, You wrote me about passing your drug test for Work You sent me snaps of a casino and the movies and casually eating hash browns at Macdonald’s. Did you once asked me how I was doing ? How everything was going? Did you said you missed me ? Or that you loved me ? No, you’ve proven that if I withdraw effort, yours is still zero to null Heartbreaking isn’t it It is for me I have an exam tomorrow and I’m aiming my best to remain focused and tackle it successfully. But, you still manage to linger in my thoughts 💭 Gnite D

I know you’re tired bitch but keep fucking going

little by little it has become easier to forgive you ...and forget you than to linger on to a memory of what we were and what we could have been. Making peace with inner feelings can be a challenge, but facing them head-on allowed me to grow and take the scales off my eyes. Now I only have one true focus… to be the best I can be when it comes to my career

10 small tips to improve your productivity

Who can resist reading another little post full of tips to help you get more work done? Here is a few things that I find useful when trying to get myself motivated.

Clear desk, clear mind - I like to organise things before I start working. If things are messy, I get a little preoccupied and procrastinate even more. My suggestion is clear your desk, sort everything you’ll need to study and get on!

The two minute rule - If a task that needs to be done takes less than two minutes, just do it. My dad has often suggested that this is a great way to sort out your priorities and so far it has worked for me. Things like check my emails, cross off events from my planner, file something away don’t take long but get you in the mood for productivity. As they say “object in motion, stay in motion”.

Break your time up - Schedule your study time and any breaks you need to take. This helps structure your day and acts as a motivation to get things done. Especially if you can reward yourself at the end!

Leave your phone alone - Like most people I use my phone constantly but when I’m trying to work, it is best to leave it alone. Out of sight, out of mind. Try leaving it on silent and behind you so you aren’t tempted to pick it up after every beep. Use your break times to check it.

Find your top three to five priorities - Seeing a long list of things to do is usually, for some people, kind of counterproductive. Figure out the main things that need to be done and work on those. If you’re able to complete those main things, you’ll feel like you’ve accomplished the days necessities and may even want to complete some more.

Try using a mindmap instead of a to do list - Apparently using a mindmap layout instead of a traditional list can help boost productivity. It is a little more funky way to see all your outstanding tasks and might not look as overwhelming as a super long list.

Wear headphones - You don’t have to always listen to things but it can help block out any noise that can distract you. If you’re someone that likes some music, try songs with little or no words. This is a great playlist by Spotify.

Don’t multitask - As much as you think you can do it, trying to multitask usually ends up in a confused mess and takes twice the time. Stick to one task at a time. If you think of something you need to do, write it down and do it later.

Change things up - Doing the same things in the same place can get boring. Make the effort every now and then to change where you’re studying or how you’re studying. This can include moving your studying from the desk to the kitchen table for a change of scenery, or making flash cards instead of annotating your notes. Studying with a family member or friends is a fun way to get some work done!

Be positive - Most people have times when they just don’t want to study or anything, it is natural. However it is not worth sitting staring at your books in an unmotivated mood just waiting to feel inspired. If you’re not feeling it, do something else for a while. Come back to it a bit later and have another go. Usually walking away and coming back is all you need to feel more productive.

I hope these few tips are useful! These are the kind of things that work for me, so give them a shot and let me know if they help. Best of luck with your studies x

Then I guess I haven’t found love ...

The wave

My mood is usually stable - for the most part, I’m a happy, peppy, merry-go round chick. The glass... to me is usually full: water, water and air, just air- still full on endless molecules… But here and there, I get to days like today when shit is just not going right.

I’ve got a knot on my throat and can’t manage to cry this off… but when days are hard we must remember every day comes to an end. Those meant to be will stay, those meant to part will fade. Worry not about keeping people, for those people will stay willingly and without restrains.

Good night Xo
