Learn for practice
On campus, there are a special group of students. They live an ascetic monk’s life. They are reading endless fat books in the classroom while other peers having a lot of fun seeing a film with friends. They stay at a frowzy dissecting room all morning facing fragmentary and sickening dead bodies while other peers sit in on a class and fall asleep in the cosy atmosphere. They are reciting hundreds of clinical cases all night long while other peers celebrating for the graduation in the corner. These ascetic monks are our medical students.
After 5 to 7 or 8 years hard work on campus and several years’ internship in hospital, these poor students are allowed to working in a hospital with a meager salary. They work day and night, warding round, making medical orders, writing and discussing cases, performing an operation, making death certificate, birth records, contact higher authorities, explaining this or that to patients knowing nothing, having this or that meetings like a white-collar——to name just a few. The only similarity between life in college and hospital is busyness, endless busyness. Thanks for those hard university time, doctors can bear enormous pressure in hospital.
In fact, the biggest challenge when a student is thrown into a hospital is not busy work. What makes us surprising and sad is that we don’t know the way to apply what we learn into practice. We know much about the ins and outs of a disease, because we were well trained in college, but we don’t know how to explain the disease to our patient, a lot of terms from our mouth making patients bored and doubtful. They may comment “this young doctor is just theoretical” afterwards. We learn a lot of
knowledge about human body, but when we are facing a bleeding surgical incision, we feel afraid and at a loss. Every nerve is important, every artery may bleed a good many when cut carelessly.
Doctors are busy and tired, but they are not respected by most people nowadays. The tense physician-patient relation makes it more difficult for doctor to practice their skills. Modern health care system makes physicians and patients far away from each other. However, we know nothing about how a hospital runs, not to mention the health-care system. Consequently, adapting to the complex and dangerous system is a big problem for our medical students.
We are enthusiastic and young students, we can’t allow the holy medical science and our dream destroyed by anything. But where are the solutions? What can we do to learn for practice? In my opinion, students and college should join efforts to solve it.
For our students, we can’t only focus on knowledge in books. There are many things to learn for our work, and there are a variety of approaches to learn them. On campus, we should pay more concentration on what happens in hospital. In fact, each of us has a whole course teacher who works in a hospital or a laboratory. Certainly, we are supposed to communicate with him frequently. However, we always miss this valuable chance in the name of heavy study. Nowadays, we can approach the internet easily. Therefore, it’s possible and necessary for us to make full use of it. So, go to collect more information and ideas about career and what happens in the medical world, using the entrancing iPods, computers and the internet.
For the college, the course provided for us should be changed. Some course about
system thinking, quality improvement and patient safety should be added to the medical training. More systematic practice regarding to clinical skills must be carried on. We were allowed to hospitals during the pre-probation when we were studying in Zhuhai. However, it didn’t work well, because we were not trained to practice our knowledge. In fact, we didn’t even receive any medical knowledge there. So we just stand aside, watching doctors or nurses working, confusedly. This phenomenon should be stopped now!
We feel the difference between we medical student and other peers since we took the oath at the opening ceremony. What others learn in college may do nothing with their career in the future. But, what we learn now is what we practice tomorrow. So, it’s significant for us to learn more about our profession and learn for practice.。
