what is up guys karma Vedic here and
welcome back to another dose I'm back in
London finally after two amazing
holidays as a month of January 1st I
went to Morocco with a bunch of friends
from KCl Medical School and now I just
got back from Paris last night welcome
to Paris day number two so it's been a
really crazy January today it's gonna be
a day of getting my life back together
sitting down writing down everything
that I need to do think about what it is
that I've missed and how I'm gonna catch
up on everything just basically organize
my life so the first thing on my list
today is I have an appointment in order
to get my National Insurance number
these appointments are really hard to
get and so I can't miss it otherwise
it's a mission to reschedule so I'm
gonna go do that and then title
everything that I need to do for a
medical
[Music]
one thing that I really noticed when I
was in Paris was just how efficient
their Metro is you can actually open the
door on the train while it's still
moving so there's no time wasted for
people going in and now on top of that
there was such easy transport between
different locations which isn't really
the case here in London I feel like a
lot of times you have to move in sort of
a triangle shape in order to get to your
destination when a straight line would
be so much easier anyways I finally made
it to the job office National Insurance
number building gonna go in have my
appointment and catch you in a sec
alright that wasn't so bad all done with
the meeting now and heading home that's
by the store and got Alex he has some
flowers she's feeling kind of stressed
so I wanted to get her a little
pick-me-up anyways it's drizzling
slightly and I don't want it damaged
this camera and regretted it later so
I'll catch up with you guys a little bit
recently I've been trying to use this
planner over here Alex you got it for me
for Christmas whenever I use an online
or digital planner I never check it
often enough to actually do everything
that I write down and then that way
things slip out of my mind and I forget
things so I'm trying to use a physical
planner because that's what I use draw
of high school and in my first degree at
University and it worked very well for
me the most pressing thing that I have
to do is tomorrow we have an
interprofessional education pain
symposium which is basically where
medical students nurses physicians
associates and other students in the
healthcare industry work on a project
together we have to watch a case online
and figure out what pain management and
pain treatment we want to give them
we're going to lie there's a bunch of
other stuff to do as well but just gonna
start with us I don't get overwhelmed
[Music]
every week at the beginning of the week
we get an email the sort of updates us
on everything that's going on in medical
school upcoming deadlines and things
like that and so there's a bunch of
things I've just been added to my plate
the first of which is an end of
placement survey on the top of that the
stage 3 allocations are going live on
the 10th of February next year when I go
into my fourth year I'm gonna move into
stage 3 and in stage 3 you get placed in
hospitals all over the country here in
the UK and personally I don't want to be
really far away from London because
that's where all of my friends and my
family are and I'd really rather just
stay where I am most everywhere that I'm
familiar with that's something I
definitely need to think about over the
coming weeks decide where it is that I
want as my first choice my second choice
etc Oh God all right we've also got on
medical ethics and law workshop coming
up definitely need to write a couple of
things down in my journal
[Music]
all right I'm gonna quickly fill out our
survey and then going back to preparing
for the paint symposium tomorrow
all right all done with the survey looks
like for the paint symposium tomorrow
there's a couple of lectures I need to
watch and case study that I need to go
through so I'm gonna grab my iPod
[Music]
all right and without further ado let's
just get to work all right guys as
stressed as I am about the remaining
work for the day I'm really hungry and I
think I should probably before just
pushing through all this work it's not
gonna help me in any way
now Lexi and I are gonna keep it very
simple we're just gonna make some fish
fingers with rice know we would usually
make but we just need a quick meal
because we're both really busy today and
then we need to get back to work
[Music]
all right y'all finished munch gonna
make a quick coffee because alertness
levels are
[Music]
all right guys it is time it is time for
another's that you said the last thing I
want to do right now sit down and have a
four-hour study session but there's too
much to do it has to be done wait a
minute something's missing all right so
like I said before I'm still working on
I've cane symposium thing that we're
gonna have tomorrow I've got another
lecture and then the case study to go
through so hopefully after that we can
move on to other things so enjoy this
super fast forwarded version of me going
through a bunch of work
[Music]
alright guys I'm all done now that took
way longer than expected so much time
anyways I'm all ready for this pain
symposium thing I'm gonna cross it off
of my list in my journal which I'm not
using in 2020 and then you know I still
have a lot of like small admin things to
sort out I need to go through all the
emails that I've accumulated over the
last week need to figure out where I am
for my next clinical placement and
psychiatric placement also this semester
I've opted to take part in an
extracurricular activity which is called
psyched up and basically it's led by
students teachers and patients and it's
all about getting the medical students
like us to practice our history taking
skills our auskey clinical skills so
yeah I'm gonna have that once a week
when I think the next 8 weeks it was so
it's a good chance for me to make sure
I'm on top of everything and you know
just getting things done alright so let
me quickly find out where that is
tomorrow and if there's anything that I
need to do to prepare Oh first session
takes place on Tuesday the 4th of
February okay great that's in a week
from now the only slightly annoying
thing is that it's held den my kill
compass which is decently far from here
it's like just over an hour of travel so
it's gonna be quite a bit out of my way
and take up a decent amount of my time
but I think it will be worth it to get
in that increased practice because on
skis are something that you can't really
learn from just reading a book you have
to actually practice and do it yourself
also gonna leave a quick review for the
Airbnb that we were staying at last week
case you're wondering it was excellent
[Music]
and now last but not least the
neverending bane of my existence going
through emails I think I guess something
like 10 to 15 emails a day between
medical school and university related
things and then the karma medic Channel
honestly it takes so much time to go
through them every single day and make
sure that you're caught up and I hate
leaving emails for the next day because
it just piles up infinitely so I think
I'm gonna get a head start on that go
through as many emails as I can I won't
be able to finish everything because
there's just too many but might as well
make a dent in it all right guys
actually managed to get through quite a
few emails so really happy about that
I'm not gonna make a list of all the
lectures that I've missed over the last
week just gonna make a list of those in
my trusty notebook then I know what it
is that I have to do in the coming days
all right guys you know what I've
actually managed to do quite a lot today
it was pretty productive you know that
feeling when you come back from holiday
or you haven't been in school for a
while then everything seems so
unorganized it seems like you have a
hundred things to do and you don't know
where to start but I felt at the
beginning of today I just wrote
everything down went through one by one
and Here I am done feeling a lot better
I hope you guys have enjoyed this
productivity vlog of me getting my life
together after a little bit of holiday
