Hey guys welcome back to the vlog so
this is my first week of uni the first
week of second year and I can officially
say I'm a second-year student now so I'm really
excited I'm walking to my first class
which was just orientation week and so we'll
have a lot lighter classes more
introductory sort of stuff and getting
us accustomed to the new course so
should be good now we're having three
hours worth of lectures three hours
worth orientation stuff and a lot
planned, so I'll catch you in a bit.
[Music]
Started neuro block now which is pretty
cool and everyone's like freaking out
already so that's chill
we had a lecture on
so just got back home and for five hours
of lectures that felt a lot longer than
what it was I guess we've been on
holidays for so long that I don't really
know what it's like to go back into uni
it's been a while
but it's good to see my mates and
because it's the first week there's
obviously not much to do usually on one
day's we have our clinical day what
we're doing bedside teaching so I'd
usually like to brush up on some of the
stuff that we learned from that day I'm
probably gonna relax the rest the
afternoon I've got athletics later on
right now I'm starving
[Music]
okay so it's a Tuesday morning at 8:30
and our first class starts at 9:00 it
will be a seminar on central nervous
system malformation so we're gonna
figure out what that means but seminars
are a little bit different to lectures
because they're a little more
interactive they're a little more
practical and public health focus
instead of just the basic sciences and
then following that got to more basic
science lectures on neural development
and they'll go run back to back all the
way to lunchtime but right now we just
got in from the Train and with my friend
Declan over here and we're trying trying
to get a little bit of study done before
we head over
[Music]
it's pretty good a lot of pathologies
we haven't even learnt like Anatomy yet so yeah I didn't know
there were ventricles in the brain
thought they were just in the heart. After the seminar we have two
more lectures and once that's finished I
packed my bag grab a quick bite to eat
and then I start making my way over to
the library this morning we went over a
bunch of interesting things the one that
I liked the most was pediatric history
taking because we've never really been
introduced to the topic at all really
our lecturer went through a grading
system which is basically an acronym for
different aspects of the history which
you should be focusing on I made my way
to one of the nice libraries on campus
found a spot got settled in and made the
most of the quietness before the rest of
you need starts again
[Music]
all right so I just got out of the
library I did a quick touch-up when just
the lectures that we went through today
and it was a quick one we finished by
12:30 and I was a bit silly because they
put some of the basic science lectures
before the clinical pathology so we kind
of had no idea what was going on in the
first one so before I was just in the
law library and it's a really nice
library and it's quite quiet at the
moment because the rest of campus is on
a holiday but when it gets back it's
really busy but nothing playing for the
rest of the day so it's time to get out
of here
[Music]
so I'm back in my room now and it is
currently running at about five o'clock
so as you just saw at the library I've
finished reviewing this morning's
lectures which covered things like
neural tube defects so we went over
anencephaly and spina bifida super
interesting stuff I also went over
pediatric history tagging we never sort
of been introduced to much pediatric
learning so this is our first little
taste before we do more of it later on
in the year but since I've got home
there's not much more plan for the rest
of the evening usually on Tuesdays we
have a lot more lectures which run
pretty much the whole day from 9:00 to
5:00 but they'll pretty short this
morning was only from like 9:00 to 12:30
seriously I've been posting videos to
this channel every Wednesday and I'm
going to try to stick to it so I'll
probably edit a video that I have
planned to be uploaded tomorrow so for
the rest of the night I think I'll just
be working on that and actually by the
time you'll see this the video should
already be up so I will link it
somewhere here tomorrow there's a lot
more planned starting at 8 a.m. and I
will not be pulling a late night
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
yeah this is nice and knowing that I
just got back on campus we have three
lectures this morning which go
back-to-back all the way till lunchtime
and they'll be really on research
methods or research skills so we have a
research project that we have to
complete by the end of year three and
they're going to go through the course
requirements what we need to do and
they're going to help us to do like a
literature search because I didn't this
month we have a milestones U which is
basically little steps baby steps
towards the big project so it's a
literature search how to look at key
terms how to scope out the sort of
project and how to develop a research
question and I just got in I'm running a
little bit late so I'm going to head
over there right now
[Music]
hey guys
bloody lady back there
alright guys so we ready now haha
alright guys so we're in cellist I now
having a lunch break and they were
hosting a like Bob Schieffer all the med
students in year one two and three but
the line was huge so he didn't call us
and I'm with my mate I'm about to get
ties
[Music]
running up a jack just to help you come
I just wanna live in the moment just for
the bike is alone
[Music]
there was a call saying that consent may
be specific or it could be extended so
in the previous project if it was
specific to that project you wouldn't be
able to use the data again but if it's
extended or unspecified you will
probably be able to use that data and in
rare cases you might have to ask
permission again from those patients if
you want to reuse it so as you just saw
we had a three-hour ethics workshop and
it was really cool because what they've
got us to do was they put us in a room
and they gave us a bunch of different
scenarios so first they divided us into
little like five to six people groups
gave us a scenario to look at and they
were real ethical scenarios that
students in the past had to deal with so
they felt very relevant and each of us
had to sort of explore ethical issues
some concerns and then we made a little
PowerPoint as a group and then talked
about it so what you saw it's just me
doing my little bit it wasn't great but
I think the team came in and it was fun
so we have another one of these
workshops on Friday but that was the
rest of the class today it was a bit of
a long one started at 8:00 finished at
4:00 so that's usually more typical of
what we'd expect in a normal day we have
a bunch of lectures or seminars in the
morning followed by a little lunch break
and then we usually have a workshop or
some sort of practical in their
afternoon but I'm home now and I've just
unpacked my things so again another
relaxing evening not much planned
I've got athletics in about two hours
but for now I actually didn't get to
finish that video that I was working on
yesterday so I'll continue doing that
and I might do a little bit of study
when I get back from training Alexa play
some music here Spotify
[Music]
hey guys so it's a Thursday morning and
I don't have to go to uni today because
it is our day off or the independent
learning day as they call it I used to
have it on Wednesdays last year but now
they've moved it to Thursdays but either
way dance the day off because it's so
early in the sim I don't really have
much study to do I'll probably do a
little bit of light revision for the
ethic stuff that we did yesterday but
apart from that it's pretty relaxed I'll
link a video to what I actually usually
do on a study day which I put somewhere
here but right now I'm actually
finishing rendering this video which
I've been working on through the last
couple nights so I'm going to hope to
put it up in about an hour or so but
right now I'm gonna get some food I'm
having some weeks for breakfast now and
if you haven't guessed it already we
piece of swimming lunch might go - most
mornings but right now I don't really
feel like doing too much study I'm gonna
probably relax get that video posted and
then I might watch some Netflix I
recently finished the series called the
Alienist which was really good but if
you guys have any suggestions on good TV
shows please comment down them below
because I would love to have the odd
binge day I'm probably gonna save the
study for this afternoon I plan to do a
little bit on my research project
because we'll have to complete an ethics
statement and a search strategy by the
end of the month so what that basically
entails is that when we're researching
papers or doing a literature review
which is promote scoping out all the
current publications on that topic
we'll have to develop what papers we
include what search terms that were
looking for and what sort of databases
that we use I'm gonna delve deeper into
that figure out what exactly I want to
focus on so yesterday and tomorrow will
really be about research and getting our
project underway and the basic sciences
and the clinical stuff will start next
week so I finally got around to
uploading the video which is now live on
YouTube so that's pretty cool and it's
running it about midday so it's about
lunchtime now when you grab some food
and I'm gonna get straight into some
study
[Music]
all right so I'm showered and changed
and the lighting is really poor in my
room I had this big blimp in front of me
just trying to eliminate my face but it
still looks pretty rubbish but as you
have seen I didn't really get up too
much today so the day just sort of
disappeared so that's why I didn't
really record anything but I have to do
some things before tomorrow we have some
pre readings and some pre videos for our
now to be practical tomorrow and I will
probably do some on key cards because I
had these daily on key cards I've been
trying to do so I think I'm just gonna
work on those things until I sleep and
I'll catch you guys in the morning
come election it's pretty and I am off
to class don't buy portobello even worse
stuff so side of my after the like a
curse on emedicine a sound you gotta
send all those skeletons out for the day
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
so tonight the med students are pulling
a what is it called startup party math
camp launch party med can launch party
and some of these guys are involved in
the leading of it hey guys so at the
next lab which is our histology
practical and what you would have just
seen before is we had our Anatomy prize
for during the day and we had an ethics
workshop in the morning so I didn't
really get a chance to record much of
that but we had the ethics from nine to
eleven had a quick lunch break caught up
with some friends and then we had the
anatomy tooth which we were going over
sort of like how would you say we headed
CSF anatomy and like how it flows with
brains so from the lateral ventricle to
the third ventricle and fourth ventricle
and so on and we went through we went
over basic brain anatomy and now we're
gonna do this ecology of neural tissue
you've got that class which will run for
an hour and a half and then after that
at home time and a Friday no more class
and of the week
[Music]
hey guys so I'm out of the rain and I'm
back home now and it has been pouring
all day which is not made of fun because
I had a little tiny hole in my shoe and
just flooded and my feet were really
soaked but it's a lot cozier in here now
and as you would have saw we just
finished our histology practical so we
have a anatomy and histology practical
every week and they usually like focus
on a specific things so in anatomy I
didn't really get to explain it well
before we looked at cerebrospinal fluid
and the meninges so we looked at all the
even tricular spaces or like empty
spaces in the brain where cerebrospinal
fluid will flow through so we had to go
through all the little fancy names like
the foramen of Magendie and it goes
through this cistern and that cistern
which are all just little spaces in the
brain smells super interesting and I
will try this weekend to put that to
memory so I don't know much plan for the
rest of the night so I'm probably not
going to record anything crazy I'm just
gonna relax and get some food into me
but tonight I'm going my brother to the
gym that's pretty much it it was really
good for me to get back into the swing
of things and I know that once the
week's keep progressing the workload
will keep skyrocketing so for now I can
just and enjoy the reduced workload I
hope you guys found this interesting and
if you enjoyed it can you please chuck
us a like that really helps subscribe if
you want to see more medical school
content I will put the full playlist
somewhere here and I also have plenty of
other videos which you should check out
but if you meant at the end of video
thanks so much for watching and until
next time this is Sebastian stay sharp
