Medical students tend to be more studious and hard-working than other students, yet they are the most misunderstood group of scholars. Going through an immensely hectic curriculum, a major part of their life revolves around submitting numerous assignments, projects and performing practicals in the lab. The struggle is real.
Still, giggles keep running around as people keep making fun of them, not knowing how awkward these talks sound. Medical students are tired of hearing the same repetitive questions, again and again, that too from friends who have no faint idea of their lifestyle. Sounds unfair, right?
While most of us imagine medical students to be surrounded by books and busy in laboratories, they too enjoy their lifestyle and are no different from us. As the majority takes time to understand this, let’s have a look at various things medical students find relatable.
The biggest myth is that medical students are busy studying every time. They do have to study a lot but they learn to take out time.
Friends are worried about medical students dealing with blood more than themselves. Well, let them know that we have chosen this profession and we are well aware of what’s going to follow. Moreover, not all doctors need to deal with blood.
Medical students are often tagged as anti-social. However, they too enjoy their time and indulge in leisure activities. It’s just that their ways are different.
Many people have a misconception that doctors have to work round the clock every day. Doctors are committed toward their job and patients, but they also take out some time for themselves and for their family.
Medical education requires a lot of money. That’s why many people joke that instead of spending so much money, why don’t they just go on a world tour. That’s strange.
Well, the stethoscope is not the favourite toy in any way. It’s just that they can need it anytime so they keep it close to themselves every time.
Well, we might think for you little friend, but we believe in what Joker said. “If you are good at something, never do it for free.”
Medical students deal with such stuff almost every day and find ways to escape from such unpleasant chats.
