How was the Blob made?

Hello…. everyone…. So let’s get started and drive our  way thorough the central nervous system… So the basics… We have a Brain …(yes we all do😂)  the brain is be…

Source: How was the Bolb made?

all the books you will need…..

reading from the standard textbooks is very important…. but how do we define which book is standard ?? so…whichever book makes us understand  the concepts easily is standard for us.. don’t bother if your fellows don’t feel the same….cause ultimately you will be tested on the subject and not the books…

ill enlist all the important books needed …my suggestion…go to the library… see all the books available…read a page or two from them…you will know the book you connect with…then go buy the book for yourself.. understanding is important…facts can be mastered by repetition at any point…so even if you feel that you are falling back…do not keep switching books…cause then you wont know any book in entirety. few topics may be better explained in the book other than the one you are reading…read them in addition and not in substitution….

the list is..

Embryology: langmans embryology, moores embryology (cardiovascular system is beautifully explained )

First blog post

Helloo Everybody…

my name is Medha and i am a final year MBBS student studying in Mumbai.

This is my first post here so i will be breifly describing about Human Inside and why i started it.

Medicine is a field of science where if you do not have anyone to guide you….there are high chances that  you might just get lost in the vastness of the field and it can be at times… daunting too…(speaking from my personal experience)most of the students just like me have no clue how to go about studies keeping a bigger goal in mind which is the bottleneck of our field the POST GRADUATION exams be it USMLE or the Indian pg neet… in first and second year we are absolutely unaware about it and we really don’t care about it and we do ignore it….we soon realize the worth of our golden years once we are exposed to the fierce competition of the entrances…it is very important to have a goood balance between your college shelf exams ,the clinical experiences and the entrance….

Human Inside is my modest effort to help  medical students understand the human body a little better than what they already know…and try and amalgamate important topics in 3 important arena… i.e the approach clinically, college exams and also the entrance point of view…ill be sharing a system wise review of all the topics here…including..key concepts,clinical experiences, fun facts on all the subjects that we come across in medicine at some point from embryo to nuclear medicine.

 

i hope you guys will like this….

please feel free to correct me whenever and wherever i go wrong and feel free to ask questions post comments or message me….ill always be happy to help.
