Hi, my name is Gustav Swart! I am a 20 year old medical student from South Africa. As of this year, 2020 I am a first year medical student in a 5 year programme, after which I will recieve a Medical and Surgical Bachelors (MBChB) the South African equivalent of an MD (in the USA) or MBBS (in the UK).
I want to begin this blog to record my journey through medical school so that I can remember all the good times. So that I can give people a peek into the world of what its like to be a medical student. To impart some of the knowledge and wisdom I have and gain through my experiences that might help other medical students and even the layperson.
I'll have funny stories, sad stories, happy stories, interesting case studies and facts as well as some lessons in the human body and what its like being a doctor!
I hope I can possibly carry this blog on into my post-graduate studies or even my life as an attending/consultant!
I hope some people will actually find some enjoymemt out of this! God Bless you all!
