hi drbin i just went through some of your posts & i saw that you are doing your first reading as well started sec. read of some of a sub ject i know this is very natural when you are reading esp. first read this thought bother alot that we are forgetting what we read i did the same thing with my first read in b/w my first read i read physio twice b/c i thought i forget but you know what it doesn't make any difference infact you slower your first read you know what i mean that you more delay your first read what i figure out that however you read you can't remember your first read so i think best way is to go through all subject once fast & start sec. read all over b/c even i read physio twice i t is too old now & has become first read for me.from the sec. read which will be near to your exam you start retaining stuff & your speed will be good anyway that was my point of view everybody knows himself/herself better.good luck you are doing great we all are in the same boat now days, reading, reading, reading..............only.

yea zzzz thanks for the advice i felt the same after i started revising. so I already determined to go on with first reading itself. nw striving to finish pharmac.but i found out one thing when i started reading BS it was no more as boring as it was 2 months back when i read it for the first time,at least it is nw something written in English rather than portuguese... so thats nw my driving force for reading pharmac .....the thought that little more easier days are ahead
oh god i want to finish phamac in 5 days. pls strengthen me

yes pharmacology is very volatile. i keep separate notes just for drug names and actions adn special features!!!! when i come across a new drug i just write it down in my little pocket book. i also visit teh pharma site adn check on old postings i made andi am amazed at my previous knowledge. i am not daunted tho i believe that when the time comes, God will bring me to remembrance of all that stuff. good luck.

when i finished pharma i think i knew nothing. But actually i did. but the percentage of retention is vey poor. may be like 15 / 20 %. the major problem is the mixing of the names of drugs. like when solving Qs, i knew the answer but couldnt recognise which drugs are which
so its confusion which is so irritating. But is it possible to remember everything in pharma always? i dont think so.as there are so many drugs and the keep on inventing new ones. and than there are the side effects.
but still i like pharma as only here is the tools by which we can do something about diseae.....

Dont worry drbin..physio is just like solving a riddle..but make sure you know the very basics dalm cold..in and out, if u do not understand..then dont move forward, because you will get stuck, somewhere in future..so making this basics very clear..once you are done with this..then everything is just logic flow..r u doing with kaplan DVD..?? Plesae do with those, it takes time..but you will know byheart..at the end and understand the concept very well which you never did before..
All the best, you can do it..lets do it

thanks fruit Hodgkins female doc ny and aisha
i will hear dvd today even if it takes time bs i truly want to understand them. did GIT yday and then did 50 more qs after that....no good got lot of mistakes so nw hearing dvds for those chapters. could nt do pharmac yday got CNS and antimicrobials and last 3 chap left. will try to fit in.
to keep up social life is difficult nowadays.ND i know aisha hw painful it is whn u take ur baby to day care. I stopped talking with my friends here even thru phone. when I was struggling with graphs, one called me and i told that I am studying nw so i will call later in evening when I am free. i believe i was as polite as I could saying that but she refuses to talk with me nw.. I dont care it, bs friends who dont understand u, arent good friends at all so y worry over loosing such friends? I had only very few friends here and another one also wont talk to me bs i stopped going 4 swimming classes with her.
I used to worry before, that i didnt hav any nice friends here to share my feelings but i dont any more bs in this forum i feel like in college surrounded by my very close and nice friends supporting each other and caring each other. thanks everybody.

it is not easy to shelve 'social' duties but you really willhave to find a way to get out of them so you can concentrate. if your husband understands, then you can set aside a few hours in a day maybe sat for stuff like that. implore your husband to be patient for just these few months neccessary to pass the exams well and thereafter you willhave all the time in the world to have parties. and friends should understand that you do not have time to chat. i tell my friends that. my family at home too do nto get phone calls unlike before. i hope they all understand. anyway, i will make it up to them after. children are a different kettle of fish. you cannot delay giving them love and attention for 6 months. they cannot understand so that is where you will need to find a balance.
good luck

drbin, I feel its better keep contact with friends thru emails. That is safe. Also keep aside phone calls during weekends..but u should call them or even simple text message will do or U call them when u r cooking, shopping..like that! That might fill the gap..
Because I know how it feels..but we are social animal..we cannot escape staying connceted with society..may be after the exam, you may feel bad, but just be intelligent enough to manage these things, but if somethings really wrong with other person..never mind, God will give some other nice friend who can understand you much better..so dont worry keep going

hey Drbin don't be discouraged because all you feel it's normal, just keep reading everyday, first read is really hard but then it became easier. Keep your schedule and post your diary and everything will be fine. Good luck

yes first reading is hard, you feel so stupid and wonder why you just cannot understand anything. be encouraged that it is not just you
oh poor you. never mind being sick today. tomorrow will be a better day.
