I got exams within 2 months & being honest here I got frustrated of not study & no strategy I wasted 17 days doing noth literally nothing (procrastination at the highest level) & after 2 days I m improving I can say but got less days for exam but those who reading this …. Mf just start any topic just do 3 per day

Just thought about the exact same things, that was a nice and clear reminder, May God Bless you for ur advices and perfect notes !

the acting is ✨immaculate✨ but thank you for all your videos and resources Dr Watchman!

[nehankhan]

Dr Watchman :) I love the way you used the The Spider Model (aka. Radar) to explain the concept of learning breadth not depth in medical school. Kinda reminded me of FIFA when they use the radar to demonstrate the abilities of each football player, it shows how lob sided their skill-set can be, and this is exactly what you are explaining here. A similar concept exists in cricket where you are labelled as an 'all-rounder' if you have abilities in all three domains, batting, balling and fielding. What you do for the medical community is amazing <3

Great insight especially about broadening you knowledge across multiple areas. I would look at our med schools past papers and tally what specialities came up again and again - usual suspects - cardio, gastro, womens health, resp etc and focus more of my time on these topics in the run-up to exams. Pareto's principle of 80/20

awesome video mate, thank you! Keep making great content!

12:35 mark - I agree, note-making is v. time-consuming. Thanks a tonne for your shot at making the "ultimate set of notes." ZeroToFinals and Geeky Medics have to be my two favourite online sources.

Genuinely the best advice I've seen for finals! Thank you!!

[sandiswanolufefemdlalana]

I wish I had seen your videos much earlier in my medical learning. Thank you so much!

[Medic-ixes]

Dude how do you do all this. Work as a GP and write four text books, make revision cards, record audiobooks, make YT videos. 🤯

[mtcoipu]

Tom does the thinking so we don't have to! Gotta say I know it goes against the entire ethos of spaced repetition and everything, but many a student I am sure is googling "how to cram medicine" so if you have any insights about what to do in a short time frame that would be really appreciated!

[AmirKhan-owyv]

You are doing a great work. I am going to follow your videos regularly from now onward.

[GuyThatAlex]

Currently in my first year of Physician Associate school. Honestly, you hit the nail on the head. This video is just what I've been looking for.

[agnosia]

Im currently using ur Website articles, they r just perfect, I was wondering if the medecine book articles are as simple or more detailed, means detailed more than supposed for a final exam .

[soul]

Really useful insights! Can you please talk about the type of books that medical students should be using: class notes, review books, or textbooks? And the issue of not having enough time to cover textbooks vs. no enough explanations in review books/class notes.

[gaurabbhattarai]

I'm about to start med school in about a month. Hoping for more of your content! Thankyou

[Pizaerable]

You are an amazing person!!! Would be possible at some stage to go through how to pass OSCEs, for example how to tackle the in-vivo questions (summary statement, differentials and etc)???

[prsp]

This is such a super helpful video. Would you consider making videos or notes on history taking and all the different presenting complaints- I definitely find this hard and it’s not really taught for us :(

[SadanandDubey-qz]

What resources do you recommend to learn history taking and examination. My professors cannot be relied upon to teach me.
