As the title goes, this morning I woke up as Benedict Sachdev the medical student from IMU.
I will be sleeping tonight as Dr Benedict Sachdev MBBS (IMU).
It has been a long journey of 5 years.
Began on the 28/2/08
2 and a half years pre-clinical phase1 at Bukit Jalil IMU campus
2 years clinical phase 2 at IMU Seremban Campus and half a year at IMU Batu Pahat Campus
Ended on the 28/2/13
The past years have been full of wonderful memories from the
mind blowing orientation of ragging and bullying,
enjoying the daily 2 hour lectures as a holiday,
memorizing FLM's at the library,
practicing clinical skills at the clinical skills unit,
representing the batch, house team and IMU in sports,
attending life changing talks,
having tea in the library and hanging out at the student pool lounge,
rushing assignments like a mad person,
waking up as early as 5 am to get to the hospital,
preparing presentations one after another,
enjoying my life staying next to the beach,
watching movies at the cinema on a near weekly basis,
playing games, youtubing and making videos,
talking with people of superior intellect and ... ,
embracing the government health care system with my now fellow colleagues,
sharing memories and tears with patients,
witnessing life and it's middle and end,
travelling back and forth as the only crazy person from Port dickson to Seremban on a daily basis,
running home on weekends to spend time with family and friends,
studying last minute and passing by God's grace,
staying for the first time in my life with a housemate,
food hunting and tasting with buddies,
hanging out at the shopping mall,
football gang/futsol gang,
sitting exams one after another,
and lastly - enjoying this experience of learning with wonderful friends, lecturers, staff, and most importantly family & God.
Truly I tell you, this course at IMU (international medical university) has been life changing, maturity growing, knowledge overwhelming, fun and leisure filled, and lastly one of a kind!
Thank you my dear family, friends, colleagues, teachers, lecturers, university, hospital and clinic staff, and everyone else who have played even a minor role in my journey at IMU. Most importantly thank you God who without I would not have become Doctor Benedict Sachdev!
Congratulations MeDt108 / C2/10! Press on and be a good impact to society. Always remember, you can do it! FAR OUT!
for those wondering, i got a family medicine case for my exam with ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and alcoholism. I was asked about both my obs&gynae as well as orthopaedics portfolio.
