Hey guys! Welcome back to the channel.
If you're new here, I'm Sebastian,
a medical student from Australia.
And today is my first day
of third year.
That's right. Third year. I'm halfway through my degree,
and I think that is absolutely wild.
The first two years just flew by.
But today is an orientation day.
And we have six and a half hours of Zoom lectures.
So before I ran late on the first day,
I'm going to quickly join notes.
♪ We stayed up till the mornin’
♪ Talking till the first light of dawn
♪ And just like that without warning
So I'm on a quick 25-minute lunch break,
and in the morning we did a rapid fire introduction
to everything that we can expect in third and fourth year.
And so, these are the clinical years and they're going
to be broken up into different clinical terms.
And so, we are going to be given
four to five different clinical terms,
each of them covering a different aspect of medicine.
So that could be things like critical care, surgery,
internal medicine, community which is going out
into a general practice,
and for my first term, I'll be doing internal medicine,
covering respiratory and Geriatrics.
So we had a lot of different clinicians
talking to us about what we can expect
and the type of assessments in each term,
and they stress the importance of a good work-life balance.
So there's a lot of things to look forward to
in the next coming weeks.
But for now, I'm going to relax for the next minutes or so,
and then I'll head back to join the Zoom call.

All right guys. So back in the car and we're cooling off,
because it is 32°C out in this Australian summer.
But Deb and I had a bit of a hit.
We're not the greatest, we're kind of just
rookie tennis players. It's a bit of fun.
But we're going to head back home
and just relax for the rest of the evening.

- Good morning guys.
So Deb and I are driving to the Royal National Park
and we pretty much arrived.
We're just going through the little road
that gets you into it.
There's a big sign out here saying "Expect delays",
so hopefully we don't get
caught up, but it's been a beautiful drive over.
It's extremely hot.
I think it's about 33°C right now
and the UV index is at 10.
But we're going to have a walk around.

Hi guys!
So we just arrived to the site of the trail.
And the reason why we're actually
at the Royal National Park today
is because I have a day off.
We don't have class scheduled in for today
or tomorrow.
So it's a bit of a half week.
And they're really easing us in back into the clinical work.
But next week is sort of when we officially start.
That's when I'm going to be assigned my clinical teams
and my supervisor
for who I'm going to be following around.
So I'm going to try to make the most of these free days.
And then, we have more clinical work on Thursday.

Okay. So we're halfway towards Wedding Cake Rock.
The whole walk's about three and a half Ks.
And the coastal breeze is actually making it
a lot nicer, but we're going to take a quick stop
by this cliff, because the view is spectacular.

This is where we started.
It wasn't me, but
this guy was on to something.
All right guys. So we got to the end of the walk.
And this is the Wedding Cake Rock.
It's unfortunately all fenced off,
because of safety reasons, of course.
But, you can see behind me that this little slab
of rock is perfectly aligned, like the little square
wedding cake.
So that's where everybody gets their
money shot when they come here.
But we're going to rehydrate for a bit,
and then we're going to make the way back.

All right. So we just got back to the car
and we are super hot, super sweaty,
so we're going to Mc's
and grab some frozen cokes.

All right guys. We're at the shops now.
We just finished up having dinner.
We had a bunch of different pizzas
which is completely unhealthy, but
really, really tasty.
When you get this Taiwanese desert,
it's like grass jelly and stuff.

So Deborah is never satisfied.
We just finished the grass jelly and she wants
to get more.
And we're going to head back home
before she impulse buy something else.
(chill music)
Morning guys.
So, it is Wednesday morning and it's another day
without class for me.
So I will be kicking off the day with a tutoring session
with a new student of mine.
We're going over the GAMSAT.
So I'm going to quickly join the Zoom
and get started.
Yeah. I'm good, I'm good. How are you going?
Cool. So we're doing the GAMSAT today.
Every time I'm trying to learn a concept,
I just imagine an analogy in my head.
So I'm brown-eyed,
but I carry a blue recessive.
My genotype is brown-blue in terms of like
the dominant brown allele
and the recessive blue allele.
But my phenotype is actually I have brown eyes.
The tutoring session is done and it's time to film
the 100k Q&A.
(chill music)
One point.
(chuckles)
Yes or no?
(giggles)

All right guys. So we just got back home.
And we're feeling pretty full after lunch.
But we're going to relax, watch some TV
for a few hours,
and then later tonight, I might edit the video
and do a bit of respiratory revision.

Seven hours later, we have finally finished the video
which is now rendering and I'll post it on YouTube
in a second.
So, I have to go to bed ASAP,
because tomorrow we're starting super early.
It's a 9:00 start. We're going to be doing
cannulation and venipuncture practice.
I'm so super excited.
Going to shower and head to bed,
and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
♪ Pretty Carolina,
♪ oh-oh, oh-oh
♪ Stone cold stunner, she was a winner
On the bus towards the hospital now.
This morning we have two clinical skills sessions
lined up.
I think one's on venipuncture.
I'm not sure what the other one is.
And then later in the afternoon, we have a training session
on electronic medical records.
So it should be a full day,
should be a lot of fun,
and I'll see you when I'm at the hospital.

All right guys. So I just got back home
and I've unpacked, I've freshened up,
and I'm trying to cool off,
because it is currently 38°C
outside.
And we finished out EMR training session
before at the hospital.
It was really good. We got to see how it all works,
how we organize patient lists.
As medical students, we're very limited
for what we can do.
We're allowed to view certain things
and we're allowed to make progress notes,
but they themselves have to get approved
by one of the registrars
or one of the high level consultants.
And this morning, they also gave us more information
about our clinical term.
so next week, I'm meeting at 8:30 a.m. in the morning
with one of the respiratory teams.
So I'm going to go through my computer,
have a look at the course outline,
and to read up on a few things so I'm a little bit
more prepared for next week.
♪ What it is
♪ It ain't all so bad
♪ So bad
♪ Take it off for what it is
♪ What it is
I think I'm finished looking through uni staff for tonight.
So, it's been about an hour since I finished dinner.
I'm going to head downstairs,
do a quick gym workout, and then relax
for the rest of the evening.

Hey guys. I'm on the train now with Deb.
We've just finished lunch and we're going to head home.
So this morning, I had a orientation session
with the clinical school.
They went through how each of our terms
are going to be run,
a little bit more information
about the general practice term,
about the surgery term, and we also got
to ask a few questions to some of the fourth years
about how they felt in third year,
what they struggled with, what resources they used.
So it was a good overview.
Really, really hopeful for next week.
Going to go home, do a little bit more revision
and touch up on respiratory.
♪ But you didn't want me, what you wanted was a game to play
♪ And you couldn't handle that I have my ways
♪ I found your mind tricks
The reason why I'm trying to touch up
on my respiratory knowledge is because next week,
on Monday morning, I am meeting my supervisor
and the clinical team
for ward rounds.
So I want to make sure that if I ask me a question,
I know what's going on.
And when we visit a few patients,
I want to make sure that I'm familiar with some
of the more common
pathologies or common disease cases.
And from next week onwards,
my typical schedule would be to meet my clinical team
in the mornings for ward rounds.
And then after that, it's a bit more flexible.
I can either choose to carry on and follow
one of the interns to see how they go about
carrying out their work.
Or I can do my own independent study
of independent learning.
But right now, I'm going to relax a little bit
until then.
♪ But you didn't want me, what you wanted was a game to play
♪ And you couldn't handle
All right guys.
It is a little bit later in the night.
It is currently 10:00 p.m.
And since dinner, I've been doing nothing but relaxing
and playing some video games.
But I'm here with my friend, Booce.
He's been keeping me company.
And we're going to watch some TV now.
But if you enjoyed the video, be sure to hit
that like button,
subscribe if you want to see more of my vlogs,
and until next time.
This is Sebastian and Booce.
Stay sharp!
