Medical Forum / General / General / January 2005$30\hour; Medical Student Seeking Help Understanding Second Year Lecture Material
I am a second year medical student at a US medical school and I need some help getting through all of the reading material. During the second year of medical school we study primarily pathology with some biochemistry, histology and pharmacology. The blocks I have remaining are Cardiology, Pulmonary, Renal-Endocrinology and Neurology. It is material all recent medical graduates would be familiar with. Here is what I am looking for: I will send you a set of lecture notes [usually < 10 pages, large print] as well as a transcription of the 1 hour lecture presented by my professor [usually < 5 pages]. What I need is for you to summarize the lecture notes and encorporate the material from the transcripts not found in the lecture notes. I will send you some guidelines on what I'm looking for but generally that's it. I will pay you $30[negotiable] for each set of lecture notes + transcript that you summarize for me. As I come upon a lecture that's giving me trouble I'll send it to you. I could send you up to three sets a week. If you have the time and need the cash take on as many you can handle. Bear in mind my goal is to have a simplified version of the lecture notes which contain the major points for each lecture from which I can study. I don't require you to draw upon any extra material from a textbook only from what I provide you. Think of it as tutoring via email. Payment can be made by either personal check or via Paypal. Paypal is a web service that allows me to electronically wire money to you. It is free to use and extremely secure. [Check it out www.paypal.com] If you are interested please reply to MedicalStudent500@hotmail.com. I will send you an example of the lecture notes and a transcript. >I am a second year medical student at a US medical school and I need > Here is what I am looking for: I will send you a set of lecture notes [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I will pay you $30[negotiable] for each set of lecture notes + > transcript that you summarize for me. You should consider the possibility that if you are unable to do the work involved in the second year of medical school, maybe you're not cut out to be a doctor. In another year, if you do indeed find some sucker to take the job studying for you, you may find yourself in situations where people's lives are in your hands. Who's going to do THAT work for you?

Who's going to do THAT work for you? This is either a troll trying to make Indians look bad, or this mentality partially explains why along with the brilliant Indian engineers, it seems I tend to run into a disproportionate amount of incompetant ones. > This is either a troll trying to make Indians look bad, or this > mentality partially explains why along with the brilliant Indian > engineers, it seems I tend to run into a disproportionate amount of > incompetant ones. 95% of US medical school students are US nationals or green card holders so there isn't a strong presence of internationals like there is in graduate schools for science and engineering. If the posterer is Indian, then he's most likely an Indian-American so his undergrad record plus MCAT would be from an American program. Anyone who gets accepted into an AMA MD program can pass if one does the readings and puts in the effort to memorize the materials. This is not an engineering PhD program where 20 to 50% of a masters group could fail the qualifiers. If the OP really needs someone to summarize the course notes then he's probably lazy. >> "Deepak" <deepak.sreedharan@gmail.com> wrote in message >> > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > engineers, it seems I tend to run into a disproportionate amount of > incompetant ones. I didn't notice the nationality. I considered it might be a troll, but for me the tipoff was a medical student that is naive enough to think that a competent physician might be will to do such as thing, especially for $30. HMc >I didn't notice the nationality. Nor did I. >I considered it might be a troll, but for >me the tipoff was a medical student that is naive enough to think that a >competent physician might be will to do such as thing, especially for $30. I don't think he was looking for a doc, just someone capable of typing and summarizing his notes. The real mistake he's making here is having someone else do that for him. As Ora pointed out, typing and summarizing your own notes leaves the material well implanted in your head. It's an active process; it forces you to think about and organize the material, and to do that you have to understand it. Therefore, you learn the material by this process far better than you would from just reading them, which is entirely passive. I predict that whoever he hires will end up knowing the material better than he. > This is either a troll trying to make Indians look bad, or this > mentality partially explains why along with the brilliant Indian > engineers, it seems I tend to run into a disproportionate amount of > incompetant ones. They have been able to capitalize on the experimental fact that the decisions in this country are made based on stereotypes. The stereotype in the manager's brain is that a guy from India is by default superior to any other one. To be fair, the Indians as a group including their government worked very hard to create this image. Now they are getting the fruits. Old Pif. You should try posting this on a group or forum that attracts writers and editors. Try writersweekly.com (look for the "freelancer forum"; there are a couple of people there who could probably help you with this. >I am a second year medical student at a US medical school and I need > some help getting through all of the reading material.

At that point I pretty much know what is there. I seldom need to read my work after I have summarized it because it sticks in my mind by then.
