【文科生彩蛋】《我的習醫之路》
竟然這麼多讀者想知道到底文科生是怎樣從文商之路突然180度轉變醫科之路。
雖然時序有點跳脫
(跳脫就是我的特色啊)
忠實的讀者應該知道文科生讀的是學士後醫科(postgraduate MD)
主要提供MD課程的國家
有美國、澳洲、加拿大
英國(postgrad MBBS)
各自有不同的入學考試
英國、澳洲:Graduate Australian Medical School Admission Test (GAMSAT)
加拿大、美國:Medical Collage Admission Test (MCAT)
—————————————————————
數年前文科生覺得人生
應該做一些自己很有passion的工作
(遺憾地我對銀行真的沒有passion)
想了一想便膽粗粗裸辭了銀行MT的工作
在那個時候我做了很多research
得知可以報外國的學士後醫科
但發現當年我在百周年大學的GPA太低
要在MCAT/GAMSAT考個驚為天人的分數才安全
想了一想,既然都裸辭破斧尋舟
那也只好硬著頭皮去試一下
去Amazon和ebay買了一堆MCAT參考書
速遞送來家後,雀躍地把書本打開
驚覺原來事情沒有想像中那麼容易
只有中三科學程度的我
雖然語文和英語能力不錯
參考書的內容我每一隻字都懂
但他們併在一起時就會突變成火星文
MCAT的課程內容
包括中學至大學一二年級的
生物、化學、物理、生化和心理學等
那個時候的我
連最基本的中學和高中科學知識都沒有
我沒有在唬爛你啊
什麼periodic table
covalent bond, ionic bond
Organic chemistry
inorganic chemistry
對我來說
都是陌生的詞彙,
我唯一知道的就只是物理的F=MA
看到那堆積如山的參考書便臉都綠了
每天努力的放工後去看書
看了再看還是不懂
心想
從文商到醫真的是可能的任務嗎?
———————————————————
又再想了想
既然理科底打得不好的話
那我就先從低學起,還原基本步
再去Amazon, ebay買了一堆中學教科書
然後再拜託一個現職藥劑師的中學好友教我
半工讀的生活真的很辛苦
每天都是上班、下班回家看書
看不懂再看一遍,一遍不懂就再看兩遍
看兩遍都不懂便問藥劑師好友然後被反眼
看完書後便一直做練習,買了一堆練習書
日以繼夜、夜以繼日的做MC題去打好基礎
再去YouTube看不同的教學
什麼Khan Academy, 一分鐘學會化學方程式
MCAT 1001,Gold standard GAMSAT,
GCEAL生物、化學、物理的書和影片
那個時候的人生就是上班、照顧病人、下班看書、吃晚飯、玩一兩舖league of legend、做MC卷、睡前看一集動畫。這樣的生活持續了足足一差不多一年。
———————————————————
為了增加入學的機會,
我決定同時報讀英國、美國和澳洲MD和MBBS
為了符合入學資格,我同時報考了
GCEAL(AS+A2), GAMSAT和MCAT 三大考試
三月考GAMSAT, 五月考MCAT, 六月考GCEAL
一年內準備和考三個大型公開試原來會心很累
那個時候壓力很大
畢竟裸辭了一份很多人夢魅以求的工作
一份很多大學畢業生都搶著報的銀行MT
而我卻就這樣把這舊黃金肥豬肉放棄
去追尋一個充滿著未知的夢
腦海中一直浮現著
“如果考不上怎麼辦?”
“下年再試嗎?下年再不行那怎麼辦?”
“年紀不細了,這樣下去真的好嗎?”
“從來都無聽過文商科去讀醫,我真的可以嗎”
“我GPA不高,MCAT/GAMSAT考得到那麼高分嗎”
“最終失敗後,我回得去銀行嗎,HR一定問長問短”
認識文科生的人都知道我是個很喜歡笑和玩的人
但那個時候心情真的掉到谷底,負能量爆燈
每日都要返工、讀書、腦海不斷loop種種的困難
———————————————————
興幸的是當時的上司真的是一個非常noble的教授
他沒有嫌棄沒有理科背景的我並聘用我做研究助理
得知文商出身的小伙子膽大包天想做醫生
卻沒有覺得我在發白日夢,全力支持我去追夢
公立醫院地獄般的工作仍抽空會教我一些臨床知識
儘管我要請假往不同的專科覆診亦一句說話都無講過
臨考試夢亦允許我請兩個星期的study leaves
我不知道可以怎樣報答他的大恩大德
只好努力考試,以他為榜樣做個好醫生
時間一直的過,終於考完所有的試
文科生報讀了很多不同的醫學院
最後得到很多間不同的大學取錄
雖說我的考試成績不是想像中的驚人
但GAMSAT和MCAT考了個全球90 percentile
大概就是全球最高分的10%那樣子
而在理科的考卷考到了98 percentile
考進了一間世界排名二十名裡的醫學院
總算對得住自己一直付出的努力
———————————————————
在整條追夢的路途上都遇到了不同的人相助
一直支持我的媽媽、慈祥的教授、教我化學的藥劑師好友
我翻看我們之間的WhatsApp短訊
原來我傳了超過5000個短訊問他化學
雖然每次他都會先用反眼emoji回覆我
但仍然會很有耐性的教我基本化學概念
如果沒有你,我不會考到醫學院
如果你不做藥劑師,你會是個很好的老師啊
回想這條路真的很辛苦、很崩潰
無論是肉體上還是精神上都接近臨界點
花了足足一年的青春去半工讀準備
我買了二十多本書,全部看光
我做了無限的練習和sample papers
一萬條MC題、一萬條MC題、一萬條MC題
我也不知道當時是怎樣捱過去的
但時間過著過著,就這樣就捱過去了
回望當初,興幸沒有中途放棄
過程雖然辛苦,但一切都很值得
百周年大學有一句非官方格言
博盡無悔,止於至善
最後
我想同各位渴望追夢、正在追夢的讀者說聲加油
在香港,擁有夢想很容易,但要擁抱夢想卻很難
追夢的路途很崎區、很辛苦、會很想放棄
別怯慌,追夢的路上,你並不孤單
#追夢的小伙子
#把握自己的人生
#博盡無悔
#止於至善

ionic bond 在 thefamily.uk Facebook 八卦
Alhamdulillah, I bagged another credit, this time for my Chemistry project! We were given the task of presenting our knowledge of ionic bonding in a fun and interesting way, so I decided to make an infographic.
I made a mini choose-your-own-adventure game, where you can pick what atom to start out as, and what atom you bond with. Each choice you make determines what changes you go through, and what molecule you ended up as - all while starting out as something like a sodium atom!
Here’s the ionic bonding mini game for all of you to enjoy. What molecule do you end up as?
Happy Bonding,
Omar Mukhtar

5. BLUE GLOW INTENSE LIFTING BEAUTY OIL 30ml
💡DETAILS: HERBOLOGIA BLUE GLOW is an intense anti-aging beauty oil for dry & mature skin. It lifts skin of face and neck, smoothes wrinkles and roughness, and makes it look radiant and youthful. Organic Blue Chamomile Essential Oil gives this oil a bluish color, thanks to an anti-aging and anti-irritation constituent chamazulene. Ethically harvested Hawaiian Organic Sandalwood Oil and Organic Helichrysum Essential Oil are both well-known essential oils for their beauty enhancing and soothing properties. A carefully balanced combination of organic non-volatile oils such as Macadamia, Maracuja, Borage, Prickly Pear, and Sandalwood Nut CO2 supply the skin with all necessary fatty acdis for healthy younger looking skin. Macadamia Nut Oil is high in palmitoleic acid, much needed by maturing skin since it declines dramatically with age. Borage Oil is rich in gamma-linoleic and linoleic fatty acids which restore skin barrier function. Pressed Sandalwood Nut Oil contains a rare fat ximenynic acid whose unique triple bond is exceptionally good at reducing irritation.
🔴MY REVIEW: This’s my new favorite facial oil for my dry sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly so I can put eye cream and face cream over it within minutes. It’s light and doesn’t have a strong smell. I’ve been using it for a month now religiously at night before bed. My skin now is much more dewy. This facial oil is wonderful for my eczema. I don’t have any issues with breakouts and this actually soothes my redness and irritation. Perfect for winter months and highly recommend.
6. LIGHTEN SERUM 30ml
💡DETAILS: Lighten Serum features powerful antioxidants and natural brightening ingredients for lighter, evenly toned skin. Lighten Serum reduces dark spots and brightens the complexion with oat oligopeptides, alpha-arbutin, glyceryl ascorbate (a stable form of vitamin C), sea buckthorn extract, and pterostilbene. Fision ActiveWhite contains a synergistic blend of hydrolyzed oat protein and alpha-arbutin; it is soothing and calming to the skin, reducing irritation and redness. Glyceryl ascorbate is an antioxidant that increases collagen and elastin production in the skin, reducing the signs of aging. Sea Buckthorn is a berry native to the Middle East high in vitamins C, B, A, and antioxidants that is exceptionally nutritive to the skin, making it soft and supple. Japanese Knotweed extract has a high content of resveratrol, a natural antioxidant that fights damage-causing free radicals in the skin. Last but not least, pterostilbene is a novel natural cosmetic active related to resveratrol with 30% higher activity and bioavailability. Each of these ingredients are powerful lightening agents in their own right, but, combined into a single formula, they unite to create a potent serum for advanced skin care.
🔴MY REVIEW: I like the smell and the way it’s easily absorbed by the skin, not leaving it greasy. As an added benefit, it reduces the appearance of fine lines. The quality of this serum is definitely good. It also makes my skin brighter and lightens dark spots. I’ve only been using it for two weeks but it has already made a big difference in my routine. Definitely recommend.
