Being a medical student is not just about textbooks and exams—it’s a lifestyle. If these sound familiar, congratulations… you’re officially one of us :woman_health_worker::man_health_worker:

:one: You social life is almost non existant

Life revolves around either exams or work

:two: Your Sleep Cycle Is Completely Destroyed

Can show up next day even with 2-4 hrs of sleep and Studying at 2 AM on the day of exam feels productive than studying everyday.

:three: You Measure Life in Exams, Internals, and Vivas

Your calendar doesn’t say Monday or Friday—it says “Test next week” or “Postings tomorrow.”

:four: Medical Terms Slip into Everyday Conversations

You talk in medical jargon language- even to non-medicos!

:five: Coffee or Tea is Your Lifeline

Food is optional. Tea is non-negotiable :hot_beverage:.

:six: Despite Everything, You Still Love Medicine

Even with stress, long hours, and burnout—you can’t imagine doing anything else.

That’s the real sign :heart:

A proper work life balance is key. In the process of advising patients on proper lifestyle practices healthcare professionals often forget the same. Mental health of doctors is also important.
