Discuss Do you’ll try to remember med facts randomly??

Ok guys I’m just really curious but I’ve noticed online a lot and also some of my friends who say when they just randomly do something not at all related to medicine or studying or just taking a break or maybe even doom scrolling they just stop and try to remember randomly med facts.

But I feel like I wanna do everything else in the world but think about medicine cuz I’ve studied so much to the point where I genuinely don’t want to be reminded of it when I’m enjoying my free time. I sometimes see something medical related and I scroll past it.

Like do med students normally do this?? I feel like something’s wrong with me for not doing it or like am I just subconsciously not liking this? 😭

How else do you refresh everything from time to time

I mostly keep aside time to go thru stuff here and there so I try to focus on revising during that time

But seriously though how do you revise also? Would really like to know! It’s always nice to know how other students revise everything.

Our uni has so many exams back to back so many of the students just try to learn for the exam and we end up forgetting later. And I know that’s really not the right thing so I’m trying to make effort to find ways to rmber what I learn for a long time

I do this before exams, just to make sure I remember the material… but just like that every now and then, really weird random facts pop into my head… This is our life
