journeY as a 3rd year student!!!
Here I was finally entering the departments… it was awesome feeling yes clinics and all.. now v could actually treat patients…v had clinical batches now… our entire batch was divided into nine subjects of dentistry to attend different postings… v were a batch of 13… amazing… first six months went off without any struggle… there was no staff for general medicine and general surgery.. the staff that was appointed had some conflicts with the dean of dental college…then! All we did was going to the appointed staff beggin them to take classes … again going to dental college dean and asking her to conduct classes and from there coming to medical college dean begging for the same..this shows how well coordinated is education system in professional colleges…so first six months v just did nothing… 2 medical subjects and one dental subjects all neglected….with procrastination encore…
V used to come back to hostel… cook food on heaters.. get veggies from the market… hog like cows stuff ourselves… sleep…get up…hog again… fool around and sleep!!!
Now came a new in charge for Oral pathology dental subject…again he screwed our happiness… v were taught extra to cover up the 6 months that were not used… now we started realizing general medicine and general surgery are medical subjects and with not a soul to teach us v must actually start reading ourselves…. 3 months before the final exam … v had a news that our batch was the first one to give 7 subjects a stretch in final year with semester system being called off…and instead of 4 papers in 6 months each semester way…one paper of final year was clubbed with 3rd year subjects and 7 were made to be given in a shot.
Though it wasn’t confirmed…thankfully me and my friend went to the dean to ask her if it was actually there…the most astonishing part was she was not aware… she confirmed it with the staff and was like yes its there for ur batch and I could feel the sand moving beneath my feet…I was like VOW! This is awesome…nobody knows anything and one fine day they r like ur batch has 4 subjects in 3rd year and 7 subjects a stretch for final year….
Its now when the fear gripped us tight with not knowing what would v do with a final year subject in 3rd year and with 3rd year subjects not given much importance till now…
We had out of the way classes for final year subject … our portions were completed within 3 months…suddenly everything started rolling too fast…
V had our theory papers…somehow I managed to write something…by now v got used to writing papers…something relevant something irrelevant all clubbed together to make it look big and worth fetching us some marks….
Needless to say our surgery and medicine papers were tough … v somehow filled in the sheets with whatever v could recollect…now since the 2 papers in line were not good… I thought that 3 rd paper is personally goin to be tough too…so this being a dental subject very very huge to revise a night before…with so many things to be precise in each disease…I started revising with the most unexpected chapters…toughest…and could finish only one chapter till 3 am…then got so bugged that randomly revised somethings and was revising till the last second before entering the examination hall…I did not revise the most off repeated and important pre-cancerous lesions and conditions…thinking it to be too easy to be asked…
To my awe…I find the first long note…pre cancerous condition…I was regretting why? Why I did this to myself? Why I did not read this? But then I had an idea what it was… though one knows what it is but in dentistry its very important for the last time peep before an examination to boost your answer on that sheet…my personal experience…but somehow I wrote something… it was the worst paper of my 3rd year with so many regrets on my mind…if I would have read the off repeated easy questions…………..!!!
I came back cried…slept off …let go!
Next was the final year paper…I read every single page before an exam not ready to repeat another disaster…somehow I was backed by my brother…he boosted up my morale… I wrote well…
It turned out to be very good… I scored 70/100 in theory… which is very good. In practicals I took help from medical interns to teach me the basics needed for examination somehow got through….

Here I was with results out once again happy to know that I am 3/4th doctor…lolz…now a final year student!
