    I'm in medical skl guys and its as if you aren't taught anything... infact our lecturers say why shud i teach you wen all u need is in the text book but the thing is the content is just abt a thousand pages or more for each subject.. and they bring questions from anywhere... they say why complain medical students don't sleep... u teach yourself most of the work... One of our lecturers gave an anatomy exam based on his work which was as thick as a telephone directory... and with only one week to learn it... Guess what happened... 50% of the class failed and had to re-write it... does this happen in all med skl's or does mine just suck??:confused:

    i used to think that because u're dealing with peoples lives much more emphasis would be placed into the quality of education u'd recieve... sucks to be wrong and idealistic...
