ok, first please type in full english because your post just made me dizzy . . . second have you considered not attending lecture anymore? you might just be the type of person that learns more studying on your own than in class. you have to be disciplined and actually study in the time you would have been in class in addition to the time you normall study after class . . . if you are feeling like you aren't learning in your classes and that you don't have enough time out of class this is probably the best solution. some schools do have mandatory attendance, or don't offer a note service so this may not be an option for you (in which case I have no clue what to suggest) but if you can do this I suggest you try it out. . . you really can't possibly waste more time than you already are phazed out in lecture right?

First thanx for replying bro.......i was not hoping any reply at all bcaz this is a kind of personel prblem......

Attendance in our school is mandatory if i thought of bunking the lectures , the student affairs department will call my home on the next day that i m bunking the classes..............

I also tried to read from the book between the lectures so that i dont lose my concentration but i m always thought that if the Profeesor asks any quetion to me what m going to answer him,? this made my concentration lose again...........

I will try it agian though......but how should i give my full conc. to pharmacology....its so boring...!!! I hope m writing proper english now

 

[WiscDoc]

Where are you going to school? I think the previous poster (PP) thinks you are going to an american medical school. (MBBS degrees are not offered in the U.S., I don't think).

PP: I think this is the best english the OP knows.

The only advice that I can give is BUCKLE DOWN! You have to get everything out of your head, and study every minute you get.

Good luck

I wasn't dissing your english just your massive use of abbreviations, you obviously have a good handle on the language, its just difficult to read an entire paragraph in abbreviated slang. Sorry if you thought I was commenting on your actual fluency, I didn't even realize you weren't in an american medschool, lol. 😳

I'm sorry your lectures have mandatory attendance . . . alot of students in my class who attend lecture out of guilt but don't pay attention study in the classroom, some even have headphones jacked into ipods of laptops?!? but this might be better than just being phased out . . . if your not concentrating well you wouldn't be able to answer the proff correctly anyways right?

I'm not even reading that. ths iznt MySpace...... dood. Y shd i waist mai tyme ehlping ur layz azz wen u (can't do it anymore) don't take the time to write proper grammar, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and abbreviation. It shows a lack of respect and professionalism, and makes you look like a *****.

 

[cdql]

I understand English isn't his native tongue.

I can even understand messing up depressed and turning it into dipressed.

But to f**k up "have" and turn it into "hv" shows one of two things:

1) You have serious learning deficiencies and should probably seek some help (I'm not saying this to be mean. Seeking help for that kind of problem might actually improve your medical school performance)

or more likely,

2) You are being lazy

M out of ideas thts why i put my prblm in front of u people..........
PLz give me ideas to overcome dis prblm............I want suggestions from u guys !!!!

 

[cdql]

okay

here goes

1) go to class with a cup of coffee. sit in the front. pay attention. don't talk to classmates.
2) once class is over, head over to the library for study time
3) stay there until 9PM each evening
4) after 9 you may do things like exercise for 30 minutes, chit chat on the phone, take care of errands, shower, etc... etc...
5) eat healthy foods to keep your energy going
6) cancel EVERY LAST ONE of your extracurricular activities
7) keep your computer and cell phone turned off until 9PM each night
8) take a baseball bat and smash your television into pieces
9) don't ever go out and enjoy yourself on Fridays and weekends
10) if you follow these steps, you'll find yourself successful but probably miserable

hey, no one ever said med school was all fun and games!

This should be a sticky in preallo, although I would add the stipulation that #4 is not allowed within 2 weeks of exams.

 

[vtucci]

Go to your student affairs office.

1. See if they have a tutor system or referral system.

2. Maybe you should get review books to help put it in perspective. You seem to have a pretty good grasp of English. Do you want to practice in the US when you are done? I would recommend Lippincott's for pharm, micro made ridiculously easy for microbiology. Robbins is the gold standard in path but it is enormous. For review books, I would suggest Rapid Review of path by goljian and BRS. What is included in your forensic medicine course (histo? histopathology, toxicology etc?)? All these books can be purchased at amazon.com and get to you by international shipping. If you send me your e-mail address via PM, I have some good review sheets for pharm.

3. Maybe you have ADD/ADHD and can get tested for it in Pakistan. Or perhaps you have another condition-bipolar or depression. A number of these conditions pop up during the time when students enter medical school and can be very disruptive to our performance. A number of students at my school (myself included) did not need medication for ADD until med school because we were able to compensate for it earlier. I don't know how good they are about picking up ADD in pakistan during elementary school, high school etc.

Best wishes. Hang in there you are not alone!!!

HEY thanx i really liked the first rule...but i think following rest of the rules will kill me in 2 days...............

 

[vtucci]

actually diet is really important. If you are eating anything that you are "allergic" to, it might not manifest itself with a maculopapular rash but with difficulty concentrating. Also, refined sugars (cookies, cakes, candies) while tasty and enjoyable before tests, are not the way to go to get your brain in top shape.

Exercise is great too. You might feel better adding 30 minutes in a couple times a week- not as anxious/restless and better able to focus during the rest of your day.

Just start buckling down. It's never too late to make improvements in your habits. Get excited about the material and remind yourself how it's what will make you a pro. Good luck.

Stamina can well be a diet and exercise issue. Mental stamina can be built up by doing a lot of practice questions. 🙂

Thanx again i was really v depressed at the start and was thinking that should i share my prblm wd u guys or not.....but knw m feeling much more relaxed and i promised that i"ll cutoff all my activites nd try my best to focus on studies

Still i"ll wait 4 new suggestions which can help me to focus nd building mental stamina....................

I must say u guys r really cooperative especially vtucci...........

 

[Church]

HEY thanx i really liked the first rule...but i think following rest of the rules will kill me in 2 days...............

If that's the best you can do, then find another field. You don't have the strength. Nothing personal, but if you can't grunt it out with a few simple restrictions, you may need to consider other options.

 

[cdql]

HEY thanx i really liked the first rule...but i think following rest of the rules will kill me in 2 days...............

when you read through this reply, let me reassure you that i'm not doing this to be mean. i'm doing this out of pure honesty (and to be a little mean)

you know your problem is a lack of concentration. and yet, you won't make the sacrifice to go to the library and study?

i have a gift for you then. it's like the stethoscope they give you when you enter med school. consider it my exit present:

 

[psipsina]

If that's the best you can do, then find another field. You don't have the strength. Nothing personal, but if you can't grunt it out with a few simple restrictions, you may need to consider other options.

Seriously, the only parts of that list that I don't currently follow is 1) I watch a max of an hour of tv a day while making/eating dinner -but I have the self control to turn it off after, otherwise I'd sell the thing 2) I go out on weekends when not within 2 weeks of an exam, not all weekend, but spend a day or night with friends or on a date with the hubby . . . but if the rest of that seems impossible to you then you really have no hope of doing better in medschool.

 

[Tired]

Plz tell me how can i put conc on my class lectures nd how to adjust my daily time between PATHOLOGY, MICROBILOGY , PHARMACOLOGY and FORENSIC MEDICINE................

You should just quit. Obviously this isn't for you. Go do something else.

I feel your pain Shahjee, but it sounds to me like you are just in a temporary funk if you made it this far only to start burning out now.. on a separate note.. ive seen all sorts of international students sleeping in the library lately, so it might just be part of the season.. high levels of growth hormone or cortisol maybe...I dont think they are lazy per se, just tired.. like a bear needs to hibernate, to restore mental wakefulness.. you might want to look into the ADHD thing, adderall-like drugs will give you the "mental strength and stamina" you seem to desire.. but of course with other side effects you may not like

Dude. Please. I know your hands are flying over the keyboard as you feverishly pour out your soul to us dumb Americans but are you really saving that much time by dropping the "u" out of "but?"

And "bcaz" in place of "because" is just plain obnoxious.

Please. Stop.

i cant understand whats the problem in writing abbreviations...is it hard for you people to undertand or is it against your rules......I had a habbit of writing small words.........

It's hard to read, and noone will really care to read, like people like me. I read one sentence of your first post, and then I skipped to see how other poeple had understood what you wrote, since I don't have the energy of reading that kind of text.

It's a problem for us. Since you want an answer, it's a problem for you as well.

Do you guys have nothing better to do then respond to this *****? if I had to guess I would say he is not really in medical school and just wants to waste your time. If he is in med school, I really hope he won't be practicing here any time soon, or ever for that matter. He is very unprofessional, whiny, and replies to every post relatively quickly. If he is in med school, maybe he should spend the time he's on SDN doing some school work instead. I understand most american medical students like to help anybody in need, or suffering, but let's find somebody who si serious enough and worth our time responding to.

P.S. and OP, it I am or I'm, not M alone!!

 

[LuckyBambooGirl]

Ignore those people who say you don't have the stamina. It is all about training yourself to learn. If you are about to start your third year you are almost there anyway, don't quit now! By the way, I don't follow all of those "rules" either!

I suggest you talk to some of your professors about the way that you have been studying. They have seen many students go through med school and may have some tips that will help you improve your study habits. Also talk to upperclassmen at your school about what they did to get through the courses. Finally, seek counseling for your depression/ADHD. You may be able to do this through your school.

The OP is in a MBBS program in Pakistan, which is a 5-6 year degree, so getting ready to start his third year is not quite "almost there," at least not in the same sense as third year in the US is "almost there."

I cant even read the OP, it makes me dizzy, whatever problem you may be alluding too, the first problem would probably be grammer, which can make it difficult to succeed in medicine or life in general.
