WEEK IN THE LIFE (Respiratory) | Wits GEMP

This week marked the start of our 4th block (ALREADY!!) of medical school – Respiratory!

Med School Update – June 2019

It seems like it’s been ages since I sat down and wrote an actual piece for the blog! This week marked exactly 6 months since I started medical school, and it has been one hell of a crazy ride so far! I’ve had a week off now as we have just finished our 3rd block exams, and for the first time since I received my acceptance for GEMP in January I have been sitting and thinking about how much my life has changed in the space of just 6 months.

Things move so quickly that it’s easy to forget oneself, and to forget the big picture and how things are turning out. This year has gone by so fast and yet simultaneously so tiresomely slow at times with hundreds of hours spent sitting in the library over course packs, lecture notes, and text books. It feels like those 8 years of trying to get into GEMP (and the almost 16 years of wishing to become a doctor) have been erased in the blink of an eye, and the new rate of learning to become a doctor has equally become such a natural progression in my life. And that is CRAZY! It is literally my dreams coming true with every day that passes, and that was a dream that for so long seemed like an improbability! As things stand, in 3 and a half years I will be a doctor!!
