Hey there , any good anatomy book for recommendation? im using Netter for now. Has anyone heard about chaurasia anatomy?
And do you know where can i purchase skull back in malaysia? i need it to refresh my memory. The skull has tons of names.
Thanks in advance
regarding above, i've used chaurasia before and i think it's quite good...really simple to understand and made revising a breeze! especially the clinical references...
i was wondering also if anyone has done their clinical attachments?? mind sharing your experiences please...much much appreciated...

we need doctors, who became doctors, because they wanted to become doctors, not to become rich or glamourous.
nowadays, people try very hard to get a place into medicine, or even dentistry, why?
some just for the sake of the title Dr
thats why they would go to egypt or russia, when they know the quality of medical education there is not that good
i couldn't agree more! many are also pushed to study medicine just because they attained excellent results in their exams...but with next to none interest these stellar students end up as bad doctors. but i believe other policies that are being implemented also plays a huge part in the quality of doctors. take for instance the article in today's newspaper... The Star Online this is not a new policy but because of this many doctors who are still quite inexperienced are being put on the fast track to becoming heart/etc surgeons when they are yet to learn other basic procedures...isn't this also a worrisome trend contributing to the decreasing standards of doctors in malaysia?
I felt compelled, but very lazy to restate an important point that I've repeated lots of time.. Passionate student with low results don't deserve to be in medicine. Outstanding student without passion not supposed to be in medicine. Outstanding student with passion deserved and should be in medicine. Before most began to put up a fight for the first point, I must first require you to take in a deep breath and think deep.. This is about people's lives, and go as far as our country's dignity and the survival of our citizens.. This is about the healthcare which everyone sought for.. This is about who the sick meet and what they'd receive.. Passion without the values of patience, vigilance, perseverance and most importantly, the knowledge, brainpower and basics, are useless. Unless you want just any other John who don't know anything but yet wants and super passionate about being a doctor which encompassed his dreams since he was born to be the backbone of this honorable field that used to be greatly looked upon , prioritize the outstanding students with passion and the outstanding students without passion to be next.. Cause knowledge's what treating the sick. And passion's what driving them.
i can understand what you mean. many students with "just made it" results for medicine find the first two years especially tough with all the theory and memorizing...but it also the case that when it comes to the 3rd and consecutive years, many of them start to shine and turn out to be good doctors...i think with the education problems in the primary and secondary level that we are facing in our country, to churn out enough outstanding+passionate future doctors is quite a huge task. i believe the type of students that are best suited for this field are best gauged by the uni lecturers...they should be professional and have enough experience and foresight to wean out the ones who should and shouldn't be in med school...they were once doctors themselves, so i think there should know what it takes to be one...
of course, a standard must be set and met on the minimum grade for admittance...but my bone to pick is that most med schools are placing the whole importance on that:the grades...interview sessions that should be used to "determine" how much of the other factors the students have such as passion, people skills etc. are conducted so painfully nonchalantly it serves next to no purpose...and thus many students with good grades but bad attitudes get in...and those who meet the minimum grade but have great potential are often turned away at the door...
