5 Reasons You Are Dreading to Study

Struggling to Hit the Books? You are not alone in dreading to study! Uncover the 5 Hidden Reasons You’re Avoiding Study Time 📚😫 – Find out what’s really holding you back from academic success!

Feeling a sense of dread or resistance when it comes to studying is a shared experience, and it’s essential to understand the underlying reasons. Here are five possible reasons why you might be dreading to study:

1. Lack of Interest:
Lack of interest in a subject or topic can indeed be a significant factor behind the dread of studying. When you’re not engaged or enthusiastic about what you’re learning, it’s natural for studying to feel like a tedious chore. To overcome this challenge, consider finding ways to make the material more relatable and relevant to your life. Try connecting the subject matter to your personal interests or future goals. Break down your study sessions into manageable chunks and reward yourself after completing them. Seek out additional resources such as documentaries, podcasts, or real-world applications that can make the subject more engaging. Moreover, setting clear goals and reminding yourself of the bigger picture, like how this knowledge can contribute to your overall growth, can help reignite your motivation and make studying a more enjoyable experience. Remember, your mindset plays a crucial role in your study journey, and finding ways to cultivate genuine interest can go a long way in making the process less daunting.

2. Overwhelm:
Feeling overwhelmed while studying can undoubtedly lead to a sense of dread. When you’re confronted with an avalanche of information, it’s easy to become disheartened. To combat this, start by breaking down your study tasks into smaller, more manageable portions. Create a schedule that allocates specific time slots for each topic or chapter, and don’t forget to include short breaks to recharge your focus. Prioritize what’s most important and tackle one thing at a time. Additionally, consider seeking support from peers or instructors when you encounter challenging concepts. Sometimes, discussing your difficulties with others can provide valuable insights and reduce the feeling of isolation. Lastly, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness can help alleviate the stress associated with being overwhelmed, making studying a less daunting endeavor. Remember, taking things step by step and maintaining a sense of balance in your study routine can go a long way in combating the dread caused by being overwhelmed.

3. Fear of Failure:
The fear of failure can be a powerful force that deters many from even starting their study sessions. It’s essential to recognize that failure is a natural part of the learning process, and it’s through setbacks that we often learn the most. To overcome this fear, try shifting your perspective. Instead of seeing failure as a dead-end, view it as a stepping stone towards improvement. Set realistic goals and celebrate small victories along the way. Break your studies into manageable chunks, and if you’re struggling with a particular topic, seek help from teachers, peers, or tutors. Remember, everyone makes mistakes, and it’s these mistakes that pave the way for growth and success. Embrace the idea that every moment spent studying is a step towards personal development and knowledge, regardless of the immediate outcome. By doing so, you can gradually reduce the fear of failure and approach your studies with greater confidence and determination.

Check out my YouTube video where I share how I overcame this. 

4. Distractions and Procrastination:
Distractions and procrastination can be the two-headed dragon that keeps us from successful studying. The constant allure of social media, entertainment, and other diversions can easily pull us away from our books. To combat this, start by creating a dedicated study space free from distractions. Put away your phone or use apps that block access to time-wasting websites during study sessions. Break your study time into shorter, focused intervals, and reward yourself with a brief break when you complete them. Additionally, set clear goals for what you want to achieve during each study session, and visualize the satisfaction of completing your tasks. This can serve as a powerful motivator to beat procrastination. Remember, staying organized and disciplined is key to conquering distractions and procrastination, allowing you to make the most of your study time.

5. Negative Past Experiences:
Negative past experiences, whether academic or personal, can cast a shadow on your motivation to study. It’s crucial to recognize that these experiences don’t define your future potential. To conquer the weight of the past, start by reframing those experiences as valuable lessons rather than failures. Understand that setbacks are a part of everyone’s journey. Set realistic expectations for yourself and break your study tasks into smaller, achievable goals. Seek support from mentors, friends, or counselors if needed, as discussing your feelings can help alleviate their hold on you. Ultimately, remember that your past does not dictate your future. You have the power to reshape your academic path and create a brighter, more fulfilling learning experience. Embrace the wisdom gained from your past and use it as fuel to drive your future success.

In conclusion, studying can be a challenging endeavor, especially when faced with obstacles like lack of interest, overwhelm, fear of failure, distractions, and negative past experiences. However, with the right mindset and strategies, you can overcome these hurdles. By finding ways to connect with your subject matter, breaking down your study sessions, seeking support when needed, and reframing setbacks as stepping stones, you can transform your study habits and regain control over your learning journey. Remember, your potential is not defined by your past or your fears; it’s shaped by your determination to persevere and grow. So, tackle those study sessions with confidence, knowing that you have the tools to succeed and the resilience to overcome any challenges that come your way. Your academic journey is yours to shape, and the possibilities for growth and achievement are boundless.

My ADHD Story

I was recommended to get evaluated for ADHD by my pediatric attending during my 3rd-year clinical rotations. I did not listen to her recommendations until I started to see her reasoning as I was functionally struggling, but always in near breakdown.

I was in denial because I saw ADHD as a form of weakness and even now still struggle with this idea (I know it is silly but my truth). I finally decided to get evaluated at the end of my third year of medical school. I got diagnosed and was started on the medication, methylphenidate. I tried it for a week or two and decided it wasn’t doing anything and I just needed to change my habits and learn to control my focus.

I continued to struggle but there were also a lot of other things happening in my personal life that I continued to make excuses for my symptoms.

My excuses:

  • My constant inner restlessness is all from my anxiety.
  • my anxiety is from having generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
  • My impatience and impulsivity are part of my personality
  • My inattentiveness is my selective hearing and daydreaming habits from my childhood
  • My disorganization is just my lack of good habits
  • My forgetfulness is from being distracted by so much work.
  • My distracting behavior is from having so many things on my plate.
  • Remarks by friends and family are just remarks and it doesn’t mean anything.

 

 

I continued to just functionally struggle. I worked really, really hard and the payoff was average. Over time, I burnt out more frequently.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I began to get moody, and easily irritable and my anxiety even worsened. I continued to work on coping mechanisms and thought I was doing okay. I thought I was handling it well. I started my intern year of family medicine residency. The stress of my mom’s cancer and the stress of residency was taking on a further toll on me with uncontrolled ADHD.

 

I was struggling with residency as an intern and I had mentioned a history of ADHD to one of my attendings during an evaluation. I was again recommended to discuss treatment with my PCP.

 

 

I have been on methylphenidate for over a year now and my anxiety is more controlled, and my inner restlessness, impatience, impulsivity, distractibility, and disorganization have improved. On the days I don’t take my medication there is a difference compared to when I do. Often noted by others more than myself. I am learning to accept external help for my ADHD.

LYSSE

I struggled for years, I mean really struggled when I could have had it a little less difficult.

This was all shared as a reminder of the various insecurities everyone deals with. truthfully, I still struggle with admitting that I have ADHD out loud as I find this a weakness like I am making an excuse for not being good enough.

As always, my posts are always a self-reminder and a reminder that you are not alone.

Response to Hardship

The Process of Healing – Journal Entry 1

Through these journal entries, I hope to help myself find meaning in life again after the loss of my mom. I share such a private journey publicly in the hopes of helping someone out there who is also in a lot of pain. You are not alone in your feelings. I am here with you. This can be our healing process. To make the most of these journal entries, I encourage you to be an active participant and journal along with me. Write out your thoughts after reading each journey entry. It can be concerning the topic I talk about or just your current existing thoughts running through your head, keeping you distracted.

 

HOW I RESPOND TO HARDSHIP

I have always believed there are three ways that you can respond to a painful happening in your life

 

 

1. You can get stuck in the past and drown in your sorrows.
2. You can deny its existence and just go with the flow of life.
3. You can acknowledge the pain and actively work on how to grow and
improve.

My response to hardship has mostly been about the next step. What do I have to do next to survive the hardship? What I have to focus on to make the burden of the pain I feel… less. I believe I am a person who often chooses the third option, but at times I feel I do practice the second.

What do I have to focus on to make the burden of the pain I feel… less.

You Are a Warrior

⚠️ My personal self-assessment post. I share as it may help someone else.

Are you worrying about things and feeling anxious/upset/overwhelmed? Here is a self-eval task that I did right before posting this and the outcome, keep reading.

💢 I started typing out what I worry about without pausing.
💢 As I kept typing I had a realization towards the end (one I have had before but reminded again about).
💢 I read through it and realized the theme of it and possibly the root cause.
💢 I begin taking deep breaths, slow and steady. 4 counts in and 6 counts out.
💢 I type out my thoughts base on my realization
💢 Then I remind myself what if I stopped worrying and believe that it will all work out. What if it all works out?

FIGS

Now you try it!

Keep reading to see my self-analysis thoughts.

My freestyle:
I am a worrier. I worry about what happens next. I worry about my goals and where I want to be. I worry about not doing enough today for tomorrow to be better. I worry about missing something today that I would regret not finding sooner. I worry things are not happening now. I worry that if it doesn’t happen soon, then it won’t happen. I especially worry about losing time. I don’t want to lose time, so I want it now so I can be in that state longer or have it for longer.

FIGS

My self-analysis:
My worrying makes me pushy. I push for things now. As soon as I have decided I want it, I act on it or make it known without a second thought. This has affected my relationships because when people are not on my page, I leave them behind. I move forward on my own. My family and friends would be screaming right now in agreement. I have known this about myself for some time now and it is difficult to change a habit which has also lead me to my achievements. Today it was brought to my attention that I could lose something very special because of my worries which causes me to be very pushy.

My reminder:
Instead of worrying about what happens far in the future work on what happens today, this week, this month. Let it all work out naturally because it will all work out nicely in the end. Enjoy the moments of now instead of waiting for the moments of tomorrow. This chapter will be a chapter you will look back. If you rush through it now, you will regret rushing the opportunity of life that you were given.

I hope that made sense.

Mental Health/

We Need Actual Therapists To See Our Hospitalized Patients. Here is why:

If you work in a hospital setting, you know that most adult patients have multiple chronic diseases. While we take care of their physical illnesses, we are neglecting their mental health.

How many times have you left a patient’s room and they were still distraught with the news you delivered, or they are sad and disheartened being in the hospital. While yes, you gave a thorough explanation, several minutes to take the information in, and gave them the appropriate time to ask questions. You even provided them a touch of human interaction by placing your hand on their shoulder but was all that enough? Not likely.

Once physicians leave the room, it isn’t clear whether the patients are mentally handling their illnesses. It isn’t clear whether they are emotionally stable. It isn’t clear whether they know coping mechanisms. In fact, you may even acknowledge that they are emotionally drained. You may even ask them if they want to talk to a pastor (likely only a pastor is an option even though there are multiple faiths in America–besides the point), or you actually ask about their mental state. Then what? Most of the time, they deny being depressed. Let’s say they actually admit to being depressed and you offer them antidepressants. Awesome, add another medication to the list! Maybe you even acknowledged that they need a therapist and you connect them with the social worker who provides them with a list of therapists. Most likely, the social worker tells the patient to look at the back of their insurance card and call the behavioral health number to see what is covered by their insurance. Do I have all the scenarios down? And how long do you think it takes for a therapist to actually see the patients as an outpatient? MONTHS and MONTHS!!!

Dealing with physical health conditions is stressful and mentally exhausting. When patients are mentally exhausted, emotionally unstable they are less likely to take care of themselves. This increases their return to the hospital as their chronic diseases worsen. If money is your motivation, this costs billions of dollars because of constant readmissions and further requirements of treatment of their progressed diseases. AND this causes further progression of their mental illness(es) which adds emotionally unstable people in a society that may have other domino effects. The point being, mental health needs to be acknowledged and better addressed.

So, what can we do? I strongly believe we need to provide actual therapists to come and see patients. Similar to how we place consults for physical therapists or case management, we would place consults for a therapist.

You might ask, well, where the hell are the psychiatrists? That is a good point. They only show up when patients are in an active state of suicide, homicide, or self-harm (or having a psychotic breakdown, etc). In terms of the hospitalists, they are seeing a number of patients and often do not have the appropriate time that the patient actually needs and deserves. Plus, not all doctors know how to or are appropriately trained to provide appropriate mental health advice. Therapists would provide patients their undivided attention also provide them with coping mechanisms and mental health goals that they can work on during the patient’s admission. Also, this increases job opportunities.

The days I have more time to talk and listen to my hospitalized patients, I see a huge difference in their spirit and mental state of mind. I can’t say enough how absolutely honored I feel knowing I have lifted their spirits. While I would always and forever make my best effort to do this more often, the reality is that there isn’t enough time every time. The reality also is that not all doctors may put that effort, therefore there isn’t consistency. While a hired therapist’s job is to be consistent. Hiring hospital therapists will provide patients with the mental health support they deserve, therefore bettering their outcomes in their physical health, etc. I can’t prove it just yet but I can just about guarantee it.

What are your thoughts? Does this make sense? Do you currently work in a hospital that provides therapists?

Distrust in Medicine, an ongoing conversation

Distrust in Medical Professionals, an ongoing conversation ☝🏼

There are various working parts that contribute to this.
My intention in this post is to first and foremost remind myself to avoid these mistakes that can endanger my patient’s trust in me but to also advocate for patients and provide a reminder for physicians.

Over the past 2 years now, I have a better understanding of why there is such distrust in medical professionals, especially now as a resident while being an advocate for my mom during her hospitalizations. I believe one of the key components that play a large role in this mistrust is the lack of proper communication with patients and the lack of taking the time to understand them.

Here are some reasons that I believe play a part in the mistrust in medical professionals.

🗣 Rushing through and not providing a thorough explanation to educate/inform patients on what is going on with their health. This is especially something I take to heart because I truly believe that we can make a difference in the number of chronic disease incidence by simply taking the time to educate our patients.

🗣 Patients are left in the dark, this is especially something that occurs in the hospital setting. Patients often do not know what tests were done and why. They don’t know what the plan is or are confused because they are receiving different information from different specialists. The lack of proper updates and proper explanation of patients’ health management not only causes mistrust but also causes poor compliance and poor outcome. Often patients put their full trust in the team and believe that everything is done exactly right. And while I naively believed this to be true, it isn’t always. And this isn’t to add further mistrust, but it is to say that physicians should deliver honest and thorough information, which may decrease the chances of mistakes, but patients should learn to ask tough questions and be an active participant in their care. I think medicine is incredible, but it is flawed and the people running it are also flawed (not perfect).

🗣 When patients state their concerns and their concerns are then downplayed or dismissed altogether. This can cause a disconnect, especially when patients are made to feel like an idiot for even stating those concerns. This can lead to keeping crucial information that could help to establish the diagnosis and lead to being placed in situations, like ending in the emergency department when it could have been prevented had they felt comfortable confiding to their PCP, for example.

🗣 The use of condescending or annoyed tone when speaking to patients. This is the absolute worst. There is a difference between talking to patients in a stern and confident manner versus a demeaning and cocky manner. Similar to what was mentioned previously, patients will avoid deliverance of important information because there is that insecurity that can form in patients due to the way they were spoken to.

🗣 Physicians may see the patient’s diagnosis on a regular basis, but the patient may be learning about it for the first time. I think this can be due to becoming immune to a routine: diagnose, treat, on to the next patient, diagnose, treat, on to the next patient — which can unintentionally lead to the false belief that the patient knows more than they actually do. To run away from the room soon after delivering the news can lead to not only distrust but improper care.

This was a long post. I got really into it.
Again, my intention is to first and foremost remind myself to avoid these mistakes that can endanger my patient’s trust in me, and also to advocate for and teach patients and provide a reminder for physicians.

Step 3 CCS Strategy

Studying for Step 3 CCS and you have no idea how to begin?

First you need a source. I personally use UWorld Step 3 CCS interactive cases to practice. You can purchase it on their website. To use it you must log in on your laptop/desk top and cannot not access it on your iPhone. Once you purchase and log in through their website, launch Step 3 CCS and then click on the “Interactive Cases” tab. This will present you with 51 cases. Launch the first one, and now you BEGIN!!

I created a schedule based around these cases. In 21 days you can get all of the 51 cases DONE (and over 900 UWorld questions)! Check out my YouTube video on Step 3 Study Schedule to get you set up and running. Or you can read about it here on my blog by clicking here.

Now, let’s begin on how to tackle Step 3 CCS cases.
You can also listen to me explain all of this in a YouTube video. Click here to watch my youtube video on Step 3 CCS Strategy!

The Strategy

1. Basic information
You are presented first with basic information on your patient. This includes age, gender, medical history, social history, etc. After reading the vitals and the thorough history of present illness you will already have a good idea what the potential diagnosis will be

2. Emergent or non-emergent?
After reading through the HPI, you must decide which one it is. If emergent, you need to do emergency orders before doing the physical exam. You give vital signs, and this will give you information on their hemodynamic stability.

Emergent (Life-threatening situation)
Pulse ox
Oxygen
IV access +/- NSS
+/- Cardiac monitoring
+/- BP monitoring
+/- EKG (12 -lead)

Non-emergent (not life-threatening): Directly go to physical exam

3. Physical exam
Complete physical exam:
— If stable and pt has a broad generalized signs and symptoms, do a complete physical exam.

Focused physical exam:
— If unstable, ALMOST ALWAYS FOCUSED. You do not want to waste your time doing unnecessary physical exam. You will get points taken off if you do complete when it is unnecessary and you cannot waste time.

— If stable and complaint is pretty focused to an organ system, then you do more focused exam. For example, pt comes in with what seems to be a UTI, then you are not going to need a breast exam, neuro exam completed.

4. Orders: Labs/Studies
Geared towards diagnosing and excluding differential diagnosis. You will either order them Stat or Routine. Depending on the emergency, you can decide which is necessary. Usually if in the ER, its Stat. At the office, it is usually Routine.

Images (US, XR, CT, MRI, Echo)
Blood work (CBC, BMP, Blood culture, TSH levels)
Urine (UA, Ketone, Urine toxicology)
Pregnancy (serum/urine b-HCG – qualitative vs quantitative)
Others (Cardiac enzymes, EKG, biopsies)

5. Locations
Depending on the situation, if they are coming to your office, you can send them home while their test results come in. Make a follow-up appointment in 1-2 weeks and then move to next orders depending on your test results.

Home
Office
ER
Wards
ICU

6. Are you admitting them to the ICU or the Ward?
If you are admitting them, then you must think of the following orders to always put in. Watch my YouTube Video on Step 3 CCS strategy where I talk about all of this.

IV access (most likely already have this ordered)
Fluids
Diet (NPO, cardiac diet, regular diet)
Activity (bed rest, head of bed elevated, )
Symptom management
— Morphine, NSAIDs, or acetaminophen
— Nausea – Zofran, Phenergan
— Antidiarrheal – loperamide
Vitals (Q1, Q4, Q8)
Tubes (NG, Foley catheter)
Urine output
LMWH or pneumatic compression

7. Treatment
This will depend on what is needed for that particular case. However, when you need to do surgery, you have to order specific orders prior to the surgery every time. And remember to consult the specific specialty before treatment is made, unless an empiric abx is required.

Surgery pre-op orders
PTT/PT/INR
Blood type and cross
If female and pregnant, Rh type should be done as well.
Abx (cefazolin)

8. Reassess – Check in with the patient
You will do an interval follow-up and a focused physcial exam to check in on the patient when they are admitted or when they return for a follow-up exam at your office. This will let you know if they are getting better or they are getting worse.

9. Screening and Counseling
Always look to see if you need to order any screening tests depending on the age and lifestyle. And in just about every single case you will counsel.

Screening examples: pap smear, colonoscopy, mammogram (etc)

Counseling examples: smoking, exercise, medication compliance, alcohol limitation, seat belt, etc.

And that is it you guys! This is a great check list to go through as you are doing the cases! It helps to get through the cases smoothly and making sure not to forget anything. You do not necessarily do all of this in this order. You might need to transfer them to the ER after they came in to the office before doing any orders, etc.

I am providing an image or pdf here for you guys in this post to save. You can use it to look at as you go through the cases and over time you should get the hang of it and do it without needing to look at it! A quick cheat sheet.

Best of luck!!!

8 Ways to Use Hateful Comments As Your Fuel to Success

You think you are your own worst critic, but I think the internet could beat you at that. We all know that the internet can be brutal! Here are 8 ways you can use hateful comments as your fuel to success:

1. Learn, learn, LEARN from the criticism by evaluating yourself.

DO NOT let the hate become your definition. DO NOT allow it to get in your head and heart, but listen to what they have to say. Use it to evaluate your wrongs and change yourself for the better. Remember, you are human and you are capable of making mistakes. You are also capable of learning and growing from those mistakes.  Recognize when you have done wrong and this will empower you to be better.

2. Be more accepting of others based on this experience.

When you experience hate first-hand, you know the feeling of being treated horribly. Use this to vow that you would never treat someone like you have been treated. Always remind yourself that everyone is going through something and that lashing out is never the answer. Accept people for their flaws and provide them lessons through kindness. You will gain empathy which you can then use to help others going through a similar experience. You can motivate them and provided them support.

3. Be kind and humble even when they only have hateful words to share.

Taking the time to validate your every move simply is another invitation for criticism from the wrong people. Most likely, hateful people will continue to hate and nothing you say will change their minds. Hateful comments always stem from something, whether it was a trigger from a hurtful experience from their past or anger that has grown in them. People will only take the time to write out comments to hurt you because they are hurt themselves. Trust your path of growth. You will be better off than to validate yourself to them. 



4. Learn to control your anger.

This is challenging when people say things about you after, for example, only seeing a 12-second video of you and defining you by it. It can make you really angry because they had all the opportunity to look into who you are but instead they utilize one content and spread hateful assumptions of who you are as a whole. Whether they are big youtube stars or wanting to be influencers (clearly I am still hurting from my own experience). You can’t change the past but you can take advantage of their actions by learning to control your anger and using this lesson throughout life. Stay calm and know you are worth more than their words and assumptions of who you are.

5. Ignore negative opinions of you.

Not everyone will like you and not everyone will agree with you. That is okay. We all have our own thoughts, mindsets, opinions, and interests. Focus on the positive. Be around positive people with a growth mindset and not people with constant negative opinions. Block hateful comments that provide you little value.

6. Love yourself including all of your flaws and failures.

People will use your past to attack you and bring you down, for example, use your past failures. They may use it to define you and attack your character. BE PROUD of your failures as they are the beautiful life-lessons that build you to be the warrior that you are. Do NOT conform to anybody’s beliefs. Again, love yourself for all your flaws and failures which are leading you to greatness.


7. Use their hate to motivate

Let their words sink in enough to push you forward. For example, people may tell you you are not good enough, you are not worthy. Use these negative comments to motivate you to learn and strive for success. You do not need to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Utilize their hate to fuel your fire to success. Work hard to be the best you can be.

8. Truly, Move-forward

What has happened has happened. It is in the past. It cannot be changed. If you did something wrong and you were criticized for it, learn from it, accept that it happened and move on. Learn from this very experience. You truly have gained so much from it and you will only see it with time. Don’t let it spiral you down a hole of depression and self-hate. People on the internet can care less about what happens to you, but your loved ones and the followers that support you, care a hell of a lot. Move forward! Focus on the good of it, the lesson. People will now learn through you.
