About Introspecting Medic

Hi everyone! Welcome to my humble digital abode. 🏠

This is my blog📄, where I share about anything from learning📚 and discovering my inner self – by typing down my reflections throughout med school⚕️ – from academics, to pursuing interests such as music🎵 and sports🏃. 

I will actively share some insights I have obtained from experimenting with different styles of learning, and interesting concepts💡 I have come across recently.

Learning & Growing🌳 are never linear processes – as the accumulation of minute steps and consistent effort often plays dividends in the long run. Hence, I hope to share with others through personal experiences on how to improve and learn more efficiently in various aspects of life.

 “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”

Feel free to send me any questions you might have, or any topics you wish to see me delve deeper into!

👤Who am I?

I am a medical student 🩺⚕️from Singapore, based in London (SGUL). 

💭Why did I start this website?

A big part of me was always eagerly waiting to crawl out of my own shell🐢, after spending much alone time processing my emotions. I wanted an avenue & creative outlet🎨 to share things that help me to process my thoughts better and hopefully empower others around me.

I was always sheltered from using social media, and hardly publicised about my life on those platforms. However, I think that apart from sharing the details of our life, we can potentially live a more fulfilling life when we bring ourselves out of our comfort zone to share our ideas and opinions, even outside of our own bubbles and immediate social circles. Additionally, I also wanted to challenge myself to do something meaningful, and at the same time, find enjoyment in the little things in life. – or even in the “mundane” things like studying/learning🤓

What can you expect to see on this website?

Most of the content I post are things that I am deeply interested in/have an inclination towards, which includes:

  • 🧑‍⚕️Sharing my personal experiences and the takeaways I had
  • 🧠Actionable tips on learning that I have picked up along the way
  • 📖Book Reviews
  • 🌄Inspirations that I have gotten one way or another

Perhaps, life will get much more hectic for me during my time in medical school, and probably even busier beyond that when working, but I do hope to keep up a commitment to pen down my thoughts about something new every day, and to share something that I hope will be interesting to you.

As I invest time into improving myself, and hopefully by sharing my experience along the way, I hope that this website can serve as a medium to further empower others – in one way or another.
