How do you manage everything together though? I have consistently noticed that people belonging to the medical profession are really good at multi tasking and kind of maintaining a good social life besides working and studying. What’s the secret?
personally… im not sure i manage it so well? hahahaha.
gradschool is only possible because i take few units, have a scholarship fund and my specialty is not emergency based, and since most of them are autoimmunity related, i can do telemedicine when they are stable. i have difficulty doing 100% vacations though because im the only one of this specialty in my community, so whenever i do, i have to give specific instructions to the nearest town where there is another of my kind. but even then sometimes i cant help looking at my inbox out of paranoia.
social life is… debatable because im kind of shy so i really keep few friends and we rarely go out late even before hahaha. and those that i do keep are mostly healthcare too so we also see each other at work so i dont think that socialization counts… or does it?… i think i am only recently having a more “varied” type of friends now that im back in university for gradschool…
Oh i understand how you may be able to manage work with school now. I am actually one of those who can do one thing at a time so it is difficult for me to evdn think how studies, work and social life can go hand in hand. It’s either one or none for me lol. But I have seen this as a common thing in health professtionals, as if they have more hours in a day hah.
hahaha i think one aspect will suffer at some point. just the other week i totally trashed my report but another week i was called “superb” in class. there was a week when i didnt have a lot of patients and another week when everyone seemed to need me i was so exhausted. im older and hopefully wiser now so i am learning to let go of some things that i cannot control, learning also to say no to some things, and am less of a perfectionist and control freak like when i was young. 😉
