Today's most impressive take-home message from the lecture: To achieve your desired results, it's essential to do the basics consistently and in a large amount. However, most people don't do this." #Satomai

Recent Changes in My Study Approach:

From: Practicing Past Exam Questions
To: Analyzing Past Exam Questions

Past exam paper of 2021 principles of surgery in pastest. The distinctive feature of this exam's questions is the frequent use of "red herrings" compared to the other years' exam sets... #MRCS #pastest

I watched a video of cardiac surgeons discussing their profession on YouTube. The phrase 'to tough it out' was particularly striking. Those five cardiac surgeons live in the same world. They find joy in a stoic realm where honing their skills leads to self-improvement. #surgeon

First, aim for a level where you can teach others. Then, aim for a level where you can inspire others.#surgery #surgeon

Until now, simply memorizing the names and locations hadn't stuck in my head at all...

Today, I studied the anatomy of the brain's venous sinuses and understood the direction of their drainage. Suddenly, everything fell into place in my mind, and each sinus's name, position, and orientation made perfect sense.

In the past, I often found myself exhausted after returning home, mindlessly scrolling through my phone, only to realize that three hours had passed without my noticing.

[Commonwood222 @commonwood222]

I discovered how helpful showers and baths are for resetting my mood. On days when work runs late or when I arrive at a hotel late, I immediately take a bath or shower. Afterwards, my mindset completely shifts, allowing me to transition to the next task smoothly.#surgeon

Seeing the living nerve and the adjacent cerebral blood vessel was truly beautiful and moving. For me, as a general surgeon, these are the deepest, most pristine, and intricate structures in the human body. I exclaimed in my mind, "So you really were there all along!"#anatomy

[Commonwood222 @commonwood222]

This week, I saw a living cranial nerve for the first time in my life. Despite studying anatomy extensively for the #MRCS, unless you're in a specialized field, there's rarely an opportunity to see inside the brain. So, I asked a neurosurgeon to let me observe a surgery.

[Commonwood222 @commonwood222]

In anatomy textbooks, illustrations of cerebral blood vessels and cranial nerves are typically presented separately. As a result, I couldn't have imagined that the PICA runs so close to the IX nerve. This proximity in the real anatomy was surprising.

[Commonwood222 @commonwood222]

From today, we have exactly 3 months until the MRCS exam. Let's shift into high gear and crush this challenge! 💪 #MRCS
