 other dose. If you're new to the channel then hi my name is Nasser and I'm now a fourth year medical student studying at King's College London. As you can see from my surroundings I'm not in my usual room back in London where you normally see me film my videos. I'm currently on peripheral placement from my obstetrics and gynecology rotation somewhere outside of London and honestly obstetrics and gynecology has just been fantastic. So we've got a pretty busy day today. I've got afternoon clinic in the genitourinary medicine slash contraception clinic. I've got a meeting with my clinical supervisor and our biggest med school exams are coming up pretty soon so this is my exam studying timetable and today we're over here so we're going to be studying neuro which is good because I could use a bit of neuro studying. It's currently eight in the morning so without further ado let's get dressed pack my bag and head to the library. The absolute best thing about this peripheral placement is that my commute to the hospital my commute to the library takes me a whole two minutes so literally the best thing ever. After a solid studying session of reading and taking notes I move on to doing practice questions which is really important for committing your knowledge to memory and for this we got to give a shout out to the sponsor of today's video QuestMed. QuestMed is an online question bank for medical students with over 6,500 questions and 15,000 anky style flashcards. If that wasn't enough there's an entire textbook of notes you can read up on the latest information for every single condition. One of my favorite things about QuestMed is that you can go through their questions using the app on your phone even if you're offline which is amazing for me when I'm commuting on the London Underground. Another feature is that you can actually search for questions relating to just the specific condition that you want to test your knowledge on. Compared to other question banks I've used QuestMed definitely gets me thinking harder about their cases and makes me really consider multiple differentials as opposed to just seeing a buzzword and jumping straight to the answer. They've got great explanations for why each of their answers is right or wrong and the comments section you can discuss questions and topics with other users. Their space repetition flashcards auto-populate as you get questions wrong so you don't even have to spend the time making the flashcards in the first place, QuestMed does it automatically for you. They're an absolutely fantastic resource for anyone in medical school and the first 100 people to use my code Carmamedic25 will get 25% off any plan and after that you can use the code Carmamedic for 10% off. Thank you to QuestMed for sponsoring this video and let's get back to the vlog. Healthy session of morning studying done now it's time for my clinical supervisor meeting. So this is the mid placement clinical supervisor meeting so each rotation that we do we have a beginning of the placement, mid placement and then end of placement clinical supervisor meeting. So what we do in these meetings is we discuss our progress throughout the placement and yeah it's kind of like a check-in just how have you been finding the placement is there anything I can help you with aren't you having any problems things like that. So I need to set up a quick zoom. I'll be honest throughout my time in medical school I haven't really found these meetings very useful they've mostly been tick box exercises because my clinical supervisors haven't really been they haven't just they just haven't really been invested in you know the student experience and making sure that they're okay. However my clinical supervisor during this rotation on Ops and Guiney has been excellent very very keen on making sure that I'm learning making sure that I'm active in placement doing everything that I need to do and I'm honestly really thankful for that you know that is part of what medical school is it's you being taught and mentored by people who have done this before you and them sort of taking you under their wing and so I really appreciate that it's it's been a good experience this book. Okay anyways I'm rambling way too much and I need to send this link. Good morning Khanfan thank you are you? That was a great conversation I feel like we got everything that we needed to do finished and that is another thing ticked off the to-do list for today so just currently 11 10 all right guys so I've got just a little bit of time before my shuttle bus comes to take me from this hospital to the next hospital which is where I have my afternoon clinic in genital urinary medicine and contraception. I definitely hear a bunny rabbit behind me in these bushes I'll try and film one for you if I catch it but there's bunnies absolutely everywhere here I don't see him he's hiding but anyways if you didn't already know that I am now officially on TikTok you can see that right over here I'm having so much fun posting on TikTok and I'm posting there daily actually these are the two books that I used to study for the grueling USMLE step one exam over the next couple of weeks I'm gonna be taking a little bit of a step back from YouTube and my other social media because it's getting a little bit much with my exams coming up but I will be posting every single day on TikTok I've got eight videos stashed ready to go and I'm doing one per day so make sure you follow me if I haven't filmed a bunny rabbit for you by the end of this vlog then I've failed and you can let me know in the comments down below all right bus is coming very soon and I do not want to miss it so let's get going I'm here a little bit early because I'm where to heat up my lunch let's go just finished time for the clinic let's go and I wouldn't let you guys down see if we can go say hi you guys think it'll let me touch it probably not let's be real but you don't want to say hi hey buddy oh my god his eyes are so cute I won't bother him anymore but at least I found one for you guys all right finally back home I feel exhausted so clinic is finished all the staff there were really really nice very welcoming but from a learning perspective from a seeing patients perspective it was pretty mad didn't get too much the insertion of a coil coil as if everyone knows what a coil is the coil that goes into the uterus and provides contraception long-term for women and then also some presentations of sexually transmitted diseases like uh candidiasis nicer gonorrhea but only underneath a microscope slide so yeah it was okay it is what it is clinical placement really is like that sometimes it's completely slow and boring and nothing happens and other times it's absolutely incredible and you're assisting in c-sections and seeing all this crazy stuff so you got a bit of both worlds very first thing I'm going to do is change into comfy clothes and just chill out for a little bit because I'm heading to the library with Georgina in an hour so take a little bit of a break and then go continue for a second half of the day all right guys after talking to Alexia and a very healthy session on tiktok my alarm has rang and it's time to get out so let's go make some snacks and some coffee for the library and then meet with Georgina and get going all right we're here with Georgina on youtube as you guys will know from previous vlogs Georgina has been my companion in the library over the last couple of weeks we got snacks together we study together and spend a good time it's been really useful yeah it's been really useful but guys basically we've been studying for how many weeks now it feels like forever but it feels like forever maybe three or four actual hardcore weeks and we've got another three weeks ahead of us so it's the 29th today our exam is on the 20th so it's coming up real soon and we were saying this yesterday in the library like we're so done like I've had enough yeah I absolutely feel the same I think we've both had those points where we've been like I'm done and we've said to each other I don't know what I'm doing anymore am I doing this right and I think it's perfectly natural really yeah it must be this is our fourth year in uni we've written more exams than we care to count we've also both done degrees prior to this so like we've done this all before and yeah it's getting to the point where I've had enough I just want to graduate I want to start working I want to have different responsibilities outside of uni feeling recently like just get me out of here I want to start working I feel ready yeah I don't know just the end will come it sometimes feels like it's going to be forever when you're in this state it's very true and I know that a lot of people in on our course are feeling the same at the moment they're just like when you see them in the street or in the hospital they're like that is really reassuring everyone everyone feels the same way yeah struggle central struggle struggle city population 450 what's our plan for tonight we've got a tutorial at six oh no boo no you've got it too okay fine yeah I'm not sure what I'm going to cover I'm doing neural do you focus on specific topics like one topic per day and I find that's helping because before I was just doing scattergun shotgun approach of like a bit of everything and I was getting stressed out studying is our plan study plan all right let's do I've got infinite snacks so we'll be we'll be energized for a while we can do this all right let's do it see you in the library guys I found another one what would you call him jasper bunnykin do you think he'll let us touch him oh my god run rabbit run all the studying that I'm doing for today I think tomorrow marks our three-week point until the exam so from here on out pretty much just going to be go go go study study study so it's currently 9 15 p.m usually at this time I would go straight into working out using the weights I have here let me show you guys I've got my yoga mat over there which I lay out over here and then I've got some weights which have been very very nice on this peripheral placement and I'm actually going on a planned 10 to 15k run with a friend tomorrow in Hyde Park back in London so I'm going to conserve my energy and not do exercise today but I do have footage of me exercising from another day so roll that clip so before I came to Ashford my good friend Jochina on YouTube she told me that everyone gets fat in Ashford and let's just say I haven't exactly got the healthiest of snacks sitting on my shelf so I promise myself I'm not going to get fat and I've been working out almost every other day that I've been here haven't got anything too crazy just this mat a couple of weights and some extra plates over there it's definitely keeping me in shape and doing a good job in addition to running so I'm gonna say you guys down and continue so on days where I'm not exercising if my flatmates over here are free then we meet up in one of our rooms and we go through past paper questions to help prepare for the upcoming exam I've actually got some footage of that from the other day so roll the clip one of those two things how I'll have dinner shower and go
