Dear Journal ,

I found out extreme restriction , makes u not happy , u get low immu, easy to get sick, headache, cold, sleepiness , hungry .. snacking , eating alot .. with no excercise while sit 24/7 with little sleep ur doom .

So balance life with fm, frds, some recreation like ur afvorite TV once a wk an hr or so or a night then study as fun , b happy , like play game style while studying .. so ur stress gone , less hungry , less sleepy, less sick , with eat good regular meals .. makes u eat less jsut regular few meals aday .. instead of snacking .. when eat small quick meal to back to study in 10 , 15 min .
# of pages, time of hrs of total studying r nothing but like ur age , jsut a #, count, but to b meaniful with the age , # , count , total of hrs of studying, in sec, min, hr the real gem is how much u have got in that one hr instaed of taht 3 hrs got nothing .

Ok , this post is for my reminder as middle ground is rt way , no extremenist way , even the god stay in middle ground after so many extreme sacrifices , only found out the way of freedom , enlightment & become god with full power .. to b god when finally in middle way of practice nod
[ reference to some religious , am not really good at it , but have heard about some senario like that fr old , parents, grands ]

Ok , new yr, new resolution, old style study have to change abit .
Be active study , now just got it in split sec this morning, while quiet reading been doing great , but am trying speak out read explain loud to hub then , ohhhhhhhhh ,
the read loud , try to get , understand the idea .. really paid off. You will never sleepy, no time, since have to keep reading , thinking, speak out ur reading same time in sensible way ....... so FM , even have to speak to teddy bear , do that , at least u will hear ur voice , flow, tone .. so it makes u study 3 .. 5 times at the same time... Read , think , explain , relisten/hearing what u r saying , eyes & mind follow books & ur brain .. while all happen same time to think/judge .. is that voice , person saying r all true, rt, make sense... Do I get it/ understand it or not ......... oh, yha .. so ...... DONE .. no more review much , it nail to ur head , BOOM , will never forget .

Do that 1st thing in the morning, while ur fresh, no distraction, no distress , no eye & brain strain yet

Ok, calling for study hard, post abit here ur situation, vent, ask for help [ not fr me, jsut kiddin g, any time fm, ] fr who u all kn........ MMMMMTTTTTTTTTTTT
CAn post even 1 pg done well here a sprogress, confest ....... watching TV , partying, shopping, day dreaming , eating toooooooooo much if u want

http://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/thread/35166/157/ instead of copy them , I rather link here too wink to avoid repeating , typing frds name re greeting , saying hello winkgrin

Oh , God , pl give me strenghth, patient to withstand my study especially the biochem, cell molecu, genetics then ohhhhhhh immu and this harsh cold winter without any more sick in fm, boss , me , frds too .nod

Not much to post, weather is snow storm, white out again, but glad me home but fm members r out so abit worry though all r ok .

Study , am try to hold all in place as much as possib le , so not bad compare with my bad cold fr yst .
How abt urs??
Ok, all Fm, frds ............ to post short & not to miss any one ... have a good week & wk end ahead with , productive studying & eating if happen to b lucky in china town or with chinese frds or self for this Chinese New Year.. Happy Chinese New Yr to frds celebrating the New Yr tmr .
Great to have chance to celebrate, wish all around the world festivals, religious days & occasions & events .

# 1 Golj lecture .. audio only or also the live lecture , general & system few 100 pgaes each too , and RR patho whole book . How about his slides ?? >>> Use only Audios and RR together and nothing else. While listening to his lectures he refers to his slides and that is the best time to study them and to absorb them. Take your time with the slides and lectures. I have almost added stuff from Questions his lectures into the RR.

# 2 where is best, good to see , learn , parctice, read ECG thouroughly ?? Ganong only Ganong gives you the right detail you actually need to know.

# 3 anatomy of heart, blood vessle .. any good books, site or just kap LN, HY anatomy ??
I did most of my anatomy from my old med school book didnt do Kaplan at all just used HY for NA

# 4 pharm.. kap LN alone or any eg Katzung review or ???
I used only Katzung review. its a lengthy book and has a lot of info but i did it in my med school and therefore it was easier for me to go thru and i went thru it faster.

# 5 Qs ... means kap Q bank CVS or ??? 2006 old dl or recent online ??
or UW too online ?? I save UW for the last and use KQbank mostly but Qbook and the forum and on our 2nd read then go for 50 questions of UW and see what you have done where you made mistakes and how and why you made go back to books and read. After completing the whole system go for 50 questions and understand you mistakes. Either use UW in your 2nd read or 3rd read and alternate it with Kaplan.

Hope this answers your questions

Few more Qs forget to ask .. how about HY 100 pages , 36 , ?? 46 etc & his 350 Q in old CD , new few 100 Qs in RR new one with few 100 Qs online ??
Any of them , good to read or still RR & his audio is enough with slides along with audio .
It's really hard to follow the RR with audio order , any how , congratulation , you did that difficult task , that need patient , consistent effort . Will try .

Thank you for your prompt answering of all my curious Qs nodnod, it is very complete , thank you NNL , thank you nodnodnod

Look My view of doing Cardio is this
Review time = under 2 weeks.

Starting with Physio
Pay special attention to graphs and their implications. Cover up the General CVS in this time frame. Learn the ECG thoroghly.
Go for Anatomy too along with physio
Combine Blood Vessels and Heart in Patho.
UNDERSTAND THE PATHOPHYSIO OF EACH AND EVERY DISEASE. THEY ROTATE QUESTIONS AROUND THE PATHOPHYSIO.
Stick to Goljan Lectures and RR nothing else will make you get a good score.
Then move on to pharma go after MOA, SE repetitively.
REvise is once more.
Then after one week when you are done with the system then move on questions on Cardio to check whether you got the concepts.

Moi 2 cents.
