24 HOURS IN THE LIFE OF A MED SCHOOL STUDENT - THE STRIVE TO FIT


Hey guys! Welcome back! Today's post is going to be a little different. It is going to be another Youtube video. Although I'm only a sophomore in high school, I enjoy watching med school videos (yep, I know I'm weird!). Jamie from The Strive to Fit is one of my favorite med school vloggers. She is extremely realistic and talks about different problems med school students face. I love her vlogs, and I wanted to inform you about them. 

 Today I'm going to show you one of Jamie's videos called: 24 Hours in the Life of a Med School Student. By the time she posted the video, she was a 3rd year med school student in her OB/GYN rotation. 

 After watching this video, my eyes were opened to how challenging medical school can be. There will be lots of studying, sacrifices, and all-nighters. And if you are not passionate about medicine, med school would be 'hell' for you. Check out my last post Reasons Why You Shouldn't Go to Med School if you are considering pursuing a career in medicine. 

 Without further ado, I hope you enjoy the video!

Cesarean Section

Important notice: To those of you who read my posts faithfully, I have something to tell you. If you notice, I publish my posts every four to five days. But as school is approaching, and as my schedule gets tighter I decided that I will write my posts once a week instead of every four to five days. After this post, I will start writing on Fridays.  I'm also curious as to which type of posts you enjoy reading the most on my blog. I want to know which type of posts I should be writing more of.

Acute Subdural Hematoma Surgery

source Welcome back to my blog! For today's post, I decided to do something a little different. I want to put up a Youtube video of a brain surgery that I enjoyed watching. The patient is an 83 year old woman who fell down and injured her head.  This injury had given her acute subdural hematoma. Acute subdural hematoma (SDH), is usually caused by a head injury from a fall, an assault or a motor vehicle collision. SDH is a clot of blood that is formed between the dura mater (the brain's tough outer covering) and the brain. This blood clot is formed due to the stretching and tearing of veins on the brain's surface. These veins rupture when a head injury shakes and jolts the brain.  This surgery is done by a brain surgeon who will cut open the patient's head and remove the blood clot.  ** WARNING: Do not watch this video if you are squeamish at the sight of blood!!! ** If you are not squeamish at the sight of blood, sit back, relax and learn something n...

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome back to those who faithfully read my posts. And welcome to my blog to those who are new! Check out my other posts if you haven't yet. They're quite interesting.  T o kick off the new year, I wanted to do a Q&A post.  As I was looking through my previous blog posts, I saw that most of my posts were about medicine and college. None of them were about me! (Lol! I don't mean to sound selfish!😂) I really want my audience to know more about me. So, I hope you don't mind if I make this post a little different! ______   Here are a few common questions with my answer: Q: "What is your name?" A: My name is Kristine (with a 'K' if you didn't notice!). People tend to spell my name with a 'Ch' and its quite annoying! 😂 Q: "What grade are you in?" A: I am a sophomore in high school. Q: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" A: A doctor (duh!) That's why I made this blo...
