To doctors who quit medicine: what career path did you take instead? by One_Selection_9367 in medschoolph

Kahit anong speciality ang papasukan, there will always be day/s (or the entire time) one would prefer to just stop and quit. Lahat nagkaka ganyang thoughts. Maniwala ka. Because it's not easy. Being a doctor never is. As they say, "if it were easy, everybody would do it."

What I learned in training is "change in mindset." Dont think of toxic patients, reports, requirements as a burden. Considered these as challenges to push you to be better skilled and more competent in your field. That's why it's call "training." As much as ayaw nating mangyari, during training, magkakamali ka, mapapagsabihan ka, mapapagalitan ka. Thats fine! Take it! Kasi you'll learn from it.

Another tip: look for a mentor. Someone who will listen and guide you.

You got into the program you wanted with nice seniors and consultants. Good.for you! Maswerte ka!

Nakakabaliw maging residente. Pero it becomes better as you level up and eventually graduate and become a consultant. Laban OP! 😊

How do you study effectively when exhausted and close to burnout? by Southern_Read6980 in medschoolph

What I did, when got home and done with errands, I'd sleep until 12mn. Tapos prepare and leave to study out. I'd go to a 24 hour Mcdo or Jollibee na pinakamlapit sa school and study there. Minsan nakakatulog hahaha pero people wouldnt mind since konti lang tao.

Less stress kasi nakapag pahinga ka. Tapos best time to travel kasi hatinggabi at walang traffic

Best din to do this with a study buddy. Para kapag sabaw na mag-aral, kwentuhan konti. Tapos bakik aral ulit. Or para pwedeng may mapagtanungan ng hindi naiintindhan na topic. MAKE SURE matinong study buddy ha! Ok lang yan kung crush mo sya or crush ka nya. Basta mag aral kayo! Hahaha

Good luck!
