The nightmare of a medical student

-

Based on a 6 year descriptional study and data collected only from myself, it can be safely concluded that the greatest nightmare of a medical student is when exams are moved forward.
There are obviously mixed reactions to this, then the subconscious comes into full force and remind the medical student of notes to be read and confirmations to be made and worse of all signatures to be completed.
With this awakening, some signs and symptoms start manifesting, the pathophysiology of which is not fully understood.
Symptoms include:
Persistent headaches
Irritability
Altered sensorium
Sinuisitis
Transient tinnitus
Loss of appetite or increased appetite
Palpitations
Occasional chest pain
Abdominal disturbances: diarrhoea, constipation.
Urinary incontinence +/-
Menstrual cycle disorders
Weight loss

Treatment:
Patient Education
100mg of chill pill 4 hourly
500mg of confidence pill daily
Remove other sources of stressors
Daily large doses of reading

Prognosis:
Prognosis is relatively good with 100% survival rate.

A small group of little humans; consisting of five or six children with age ranging from 7 to 9; emerge running from a three-storey building. They ran towards the tarred road adjacent to their building stopping a few metres away from the road, at the designated structure which was a shed made of aluminium roofing sheets and four wooden poles. This endeavour has been a daily ritual for these set of children, it had become more than what it was set out to be, right now, with the amount of attention, dedication and tenacity poured into it, it was much more than a game. Occasionally, some adults would entertain themselves by joining the group and taking the acting role of both spectators and judges, but today there were no spectators and or judges. They lined themselves side by side as each child prepared to verbally take possession of passing cars that he or she d
