Chapter 6 : Am I a good friend ( 1 )


6.1 How do I deal with friends who are always depending on me for lecture notes?

You should feel good as it means that your notes are good, easy to understand and that your friends find you trustworthy. Do remember that if you help others God will help you. Regard it as a way of helping your friend who is not as organized as you are. Remember that studying medicine is like going to a war where everybody has to work as a team to get the victory, i.e. having a degree in medicine and being a successful doctor it is a degree with which you can serve the community better and help to increase the standard of health care in this country. Remember that today your friend need your lecture notes, another day you may need their notes because none of us can be sure that we can maintain and enjoy good health all the time.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

A day may come  when you are unwell and need your friends’ help with the notes for the missed lectures. Futhermore, your friends in medical school will be lifelong because there is every possibility that you may become specialists in the different specialties when you will be referring cases to each other.

Always attend lectures and take you own notes according to your understanding of the lecture and then compare them to your friends’. Don’t depend completely on others’s notes as they might not be complete.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.
( Robert Loius Stevenson (1850-1894)
