When I was travelling abroad for medical studies, one book that I was suggested to read was Netter’s Anatomy. Like an obedient junior, I got that book, and when I opened it for the first time during my first anatomy class, I was bamboozled. It was colorful and too detailed. It is really important when it comes to the anatomy atlas point of view, but as a first-semester student, it turned out to be my first lecture trauma.
Have you had any similar experience vs reality situation with any of the books while you were studying or while you were a first-semester student ?? or any other book trauma during your first-semester days??
