hi ,
I'm an undergraduate medical student from egypt , I had been recently having difficulties with my study, I were'nt doing good , and after I thought thoroughly about it I decided that I want to be a doctor and I want to continue my study as a medical student and I realised that I needed to change all my lifestyle as a whole, I treated myself from comptuer games addiction, I stopped my computer graphics design mania, I began to focus more on scientific readings and generaly I really started for the first time to think about my future, I have got alot of changes going on in my life in the last 4 months, and I want that "awakening" to continue , but the problem is that the educational creed in my college is far out-dated, most of our curriculums is what you have been studying in america in the 80s, and the way of teaching itself is really bad, still just concentrating for the most part on "memorizing" huge amounts of data and making me feel like a hard-disk not a future-doctor! so I was convinced that the only way to keep myself evolving is to get education that helps me evolve, so I started reading about new medical achievement from some scientific magazines and from the internet, but I just feel this isn't enough , so I wanted to get some advice from you, I am going to study internal medicine and pediatric medicine for this year so,
what I want in short is :
1- what're the most popular books on internal medecine and pediatric medicine?
2- is there anyway to get up-to-date medical journals on these 2 topics and what are the most popular journals? how much does it cost? is there anyway to get reliable free journals?
thank you.
