Good Morning :)

In the last two months of your exam, you will be getting many inputs on how to revise, including me. A humble suggestion to all students is not to follow any of the suggestions blindly. Listen to them, change them to YOUR way of study, Modify them a bit -  Because the suggestions are based on experience of students, doesn't mean it should suit you. ! YOU are always unique, you have a unique study pattern, you have your unique strength and weakness - Modify the preparation based on that. ! Not only now, during the entire life, you will have suggestions from various forms from the society, take some which seems correct and ignore the rest ! Keep doing things you believe in and keep doing it repeatedly  - Your only goal should be whatever you do shouldn't hurt anyone - That will be enough. !A very good morning, pathocubs !! Start the week with a big smile, so your fears just run away !

Speculation kills !

All of you must be wasting your time over a notification which was put on NBE. NEET is deferred till further announcement.  Let it be. Please do not get confused about anything. The medicine will be the same forever, and nothing can change.Let's assume they bring in maths into NEXT exam - Does anyone know it before ? No right - so its new for all. So no problem in competition. We shall keep doing our job, and leave the rest to God/Nature. I liked this message by a student in the group - "Just prepare thinking its on 10th jan...nhi hua toh we will get time for one more revision!!" - N Sarma.This is the perfect attitude. Go ahead you have an entire life waiting for you, the mosquito bite (neet/next/ini) should not bother you.!Regards 

What to do - What year you are in ?

With the insta live yesterday  - Found that there are students who are confused of not knowing what to do and I personally felt should address the issue. Second year - You can get help from any source to understand pathology. Final say is Robbins. I will teach you how to understand Robbins and how to read between lines. But ultimately there is no replacement for textbook.3 and 4 year  - if you have not read Robbins in 2nd year. Then it's difficult to go back and read the entire book. Yes I shall help you learn it in the complete pathology course.  What makes you the best is  - When you see a patient in the ward - you have to relearn the pathology/investigation. There will be no single person in the wards not being asked for lab tests. You have to understand why should i do this ? How it will help in diagnosis. That's integration. For students in profs, my humble opinion do not involve too much in MCQ solving. Do a little bit of it and spend more time in reading. Intern and Post intern - This is the time you will be focussed for your exams. Complete Pathology classes will help and with the MCQ's to be solved. Solve them and improve gradually. We shall see practical scenarios and lets learn more with real life casesBest wishes ! Do well !

Personal Life vs Exams

Once again a very good morning. :) Let's talk about something which will be going through the minds of a few people preparing for exams. Personal life and it's interferences, i am not just talking about "the bf-gf situation" -  I am talking about everything else. One of my family member had corona, i was not able to readI had corona, so past 2 weeks i wastedI am not able to concentrate because of the relationship - and fought. so and sooo on... What shall we do ??At any point in life health is the most important thing. If you are recovering from a disease that it the priority, yes you will lose your rhythm, yes your plans must have been derailed, yes you will lag behind the schedule. But can be bit keep it aside and now channelise our energy post becoming normal and take baby little steps towards reading?  Answer is Yes you can. Do not worry about time spent to take care of your family members, it's a selfless act done by you to them. You will be rewarded, God or Nature is seeing it and any day your deed will be rewarded. There was an instance where a student had spend months for his mom battling from cancer last year and lost her a month before exam. You wont believe he is doing his MD Radiotherapy now in a very good institute. Yes he took care of his mom and yes she blessed him from above.Relationship - A never ending saga. Do not stop it just for the purpose that you are not able to concentrate on reading, not on that premises alone. If you have done it for better reading time, you will waste more time thinking about why you let it go, than when you were happy together.  If it ends due to any other cause, which was not your fault - Let it go - the other guy/girl is unlucky - Stay happy <3 PS: I am not a life coach, i am not a motivator - I am just the same shitty person as you are, who has gone through a lot. Now a big smile and start the day - You are good and your day will be better ! A very good morning !
