Being admitted to a medical school can be the best news.This is especially the case for a young individual whose past life has been culminated by dreams fantasies and the desire to have a stethoscope hanging around their neck, as they march gracefully along hospital premises dressed in spotlessly sparkling white coats.No one would feel thrilled than to have the honour to take charge of a patient's ailing condition and confidently offer a profound remedy.Thinking of that one title "Daktari" makes them feel like they own the universe. Not to mention the respect the society accords them as if they were some king of demi gods.
"Not all that glitters is gold".
My first year in med school seemed to have a positive correlation with the wise man's saying.It wasn't a honeymoon climbing the ranks and becoming the dream doctor that you yearned so much to be.The reason being you had to invent some marriage-with benefit kind of relationship with your books; allowing them to be part of you,unless you wanted the demise of your relevance in the medical course. Everything was complimenting Darwin's theory "survival of the fittest" and "adaptive radiation" since the struggle now focused on becoming a second year rather than a being a doctor. Our common prayer was Every man for himself and God for us all. Words like 'reality' now more than ever made a significant sense. You were faced with the reality and you had to survive by all means.Now, I set out to compile some of the best quotes made by the university of Nairobi medical school lecturers and students at the lecture theatre,Millenium hall 2 famously known as MH 2. Whereas some were inspiring,others made us question our existence and purpose in med school. Still others were hillarious and made us lively all through the course despite all odds.Hope you enjoy!
MH2 QUOTES.
