1.JOGGING ( My personal fav,other then being healthy,it clears the mind especially after a hard day with your patient's,their relatives(some 1st yr medical student that conveniently forget she's in a gov hosp,thinks of u as her personal slave)
2.Best time to exercise is when your post call - so that you wont feel guilty sleeping the whole day through
3.EAT - contrary to what we think,we should eat,i don't believe those who say they're so busy they cant find the time,once in awhile i understand,but you really have to find time,nobody saying a 3course meal,but it's better to just grab a bite.So stop being hypocrite - start eating it's good for you
4.Study when you can - There's always not enough time,too tired.But studying is really important.If we just work daily,we're really not improving ourself.The number of doctor's are increasing,the reality is competition is stronger so it's wise to read a bit.
5.Read the news - Please know what's going on around you,do not be a ignaramous
6.Take a break - you will need it
7.When u feel what the hell are u doing,working 36hours,not getting paid enough,not appreciated....just think u helped save a life,it could have been your father,mother,siblings or grandmother( it helped me )
Housemanship isnt as bad as it sounds,not like 10years back....learn as much before we become responsible for all our actions,and there's no MO/Specialist to back you up.
