MED SCHOOL FIRSTS! Cadaver Dissection, Failing Biochem, and CRYING?!

My first ever story time! Chika chika lang, and OMG at my real personality finally showing bwahahaha. I had a lot of fun filming this video! Let me know in the comments if you enjoy this! #medschool #storytime
In this video, I talk about some most memorable firsts that happened during my first year of medical school, including what it was like to dissect an actual human cadaver for gross anatomy, and how I felt when I first failed a major exam.

Hi doc! Naninibago pa rin ako sa "I'm a doctor from the Philippines" pero ang sayaaaaaa laban lang talaga para sa lisensya 💪

[@AuraAzarcon]

ako din naninibago mehehe

[@thekiato]

Hi Doc! I took a non-traditional pre-med (linguistics), and school starts on Wednesday. Sobrang helpful po ng mga stories niyo about your med school experiences. Slightly scared but super excited to make own memories. ^_^

[@AuraAzarcon]

document it!!

[@thekiato]

DoktAURA I'll try po! Na-inspire niyo rin po ako mag-vlog eh. Hehe. Awesome videos po, thank you! 😊

[@joshdelarama2601]

Hey :) did u take additional units?? :)

[@thekiato]

Hi! I didn't. :) i only took the required MSTs (basic math and science subjects) in my curriculum. I had the chance to take Medical Anthropology, and Human Osteology though. :)

[@joshdelarama2601]

How many months???

[@BaninayBautista]

Dami ko na palang absent sa videos mo! Nagbibinge watch ako hihi dami kong natututunan hihi kahit storytime lang tong isang to. Haha!

[@AuraAzarcon]

Ang arte ko sa vid na to no hahaha

[@feypascual5405]

I'm a medtech student (3rd year). Gusto ko lang ishare yung naexperience ko kahapon ang ngayon (sep. 22-23, 2020). Bumagsak ako sa CC1 exam namin. I cried coz it's depressing. Since nasa bahay lang ako kase online class ang hirap magtanggal ng stress pagka ganito. Dimo makausap classmates mo na dati kapag ka natapos ang exam niyo kung bagsak man kayong lahat o ikaw pag nanjan sila tatawanan niyo lang. Pero ngayon iba e. So ayon na nga. Napadpad ako sa vid ni Doc Aura kase naghahanap ako ng motivation o makakapag motivate sa akin para magpatuloy at magkalakas ng loob. 2 years na to pero ngayon ko lang natagpuan hehe. God will always make a way para maging matatag ulit. Thank you for this beautiful Doctor💖

[@berneilunidad1049]

Good lord I always get inspired whenever I watch Doc’s videos and whenever I feel like losing hope, I tend to go here and rewatch more of her. Keep inspiring Doc! God speed and lovelots!

[@AuraAzarcon]

Thanks for watching 😋😋

[@joycenavejas3598]

[@joanmarylitera1724]

Hi Doc! Ma notice mo sana ako❤️. I am an HRM graduate po and naisipan ko po na mag med, kumukuha po ako ng mga pre-med subjects na kinakailangan in order to get into med school. Dakilang nega po talaga ako. But watching your vlogs, keeps me pushing na ipagpatuloy ko ang lahat. Ano po ang payo ninyo? From HRM naging med ang bagsak.

[@keemibadz04]

i love you doc aura!! inaapply ko sa pag aaral yung mga natutunan ko sa vlogs mo

[@docmarkiem.d]

Wow another Informative Vlog..Nice Doc Aura.. For me.. Sa Med school ko naranasan Bumagsak.. Lumagapak.. Gumapang.. Bumangon..sa mga Medical Subjects. but still it's Not the basis of being a good successful doctor Kung nag failed ka man.. Importante eh Nka Graduate at Nkapasa ka Ng Medical Boards and U have the passion .love and Nakkagaling ka at nkaka tulong sa mga maysakit.. successful mo sila na npapagaling and Bumabalik balik sila sayu . Kaya I'm not ashamed na I have failures during med school. Important I'm a successful Pediatrician and I Love being a Doctor despite of my failures during MedSchool ginawa ko un motivation to be successful Pedia now.. 😀😀😀🤗

[@cappuccinocoffee9734]

Eyy guys, I badly need your words of wisdom with this one. Ever since I was a child (now im 15) it is already my dream to be a doctor, I always aspired to be one. But my mom wanted me to go to law school. By the end of april, I made a decision to drop my life-long dream to go to med school so I can fulfill my parent's wish and from there I settled my mind that I will be a cpa-lawyer just as they wanted (it would very much help them since theyre itrepreneurs). But just this week, my mom confronted me and she said: "anak in a few months mag sesenior high kana, ikaw na bahala kung ano ang nandiyan sa puso mo; kung med or law". Her words ablazed my dying love for medicine but I also want to take my parents dream for me. Now its a matter of passion vs practicality. Guys help me choose which is the right one for me either take stem for medicine or abm for law?

[@blau6273]

I know you already picked something but I really hoped you went with medicine (most of all I hope you are happy with your decision right now). I know how muss pressure parental expectations can be but after all you are the person that has to live with that decision. If your dream is becoming a doctor (which is an amazing job, and I'm 100% sure your parents know that too) that's your dream and you should follow it. Anyway, I also considered both because both are incredibly interesting but I went with medicine. I'm sure you made the right choice too.

[@cappuccinocoffee9734]

@@blau6273 hi! Ill be finishing my shs life in few months, and yes, I've filled those college application forms with the "ideal" premed courses. My parents are in full support with my decisions, thankfully. Thanks btw! I appreciate the concern, kind stranger. Goodluck with your journey!! Ill meet you on the other side 😁

[@blau6273]
