  • The Almost Doctor
  • By Gerad Ryder
  • The depiction of the triumphs and challenges of a young guy on his journey to becoming a doctor.
  • I am excited to meet so many people.
  • March 2023
  • Do I really want this degree?
  • The first day of med school was exciting. I remember meeting the cohort and exchanging many conversations. Everyone had inspired me and made me feel it was the right decision to study medicine.
  • .
  • The classes started off interesting. I began to learn more about the human body and what medicine meant. I noticed growth in myself. I knew from that point onwards, my identity would change for the better - that is to be develop into a diligent and professional medical student.
  • When it came to the end of Medi6100, I noticed I was exhausted and at the same time thrilled to have passed the year. This did not come easy though. I would stay up late hours of the night to study and become so stressed I'd cry and doubt myself. I have come to realise medicine is not easy and that it requires discipline. Even though it is hard, I am fortunate enough to have met my friends; Mat, Kayla, Jack, Ollie, Lucy and Bella - who have made studying medicine bearable and have reminded me I am not in this alone.
  • Why isn't it sticking in a neuron?!
  • Upon celebrating the accomplishment of first year, it was time to head off and take one another year of medicine. A few months into Medi6200 I found myself in a dark area. I felt isolated. I thought I wasn't smart enough as though I had made the wrong decision. My drive to study medicine was no longer there. I wondered to myself on many occasions 'why do I feel like this? what will make me love medicine again?'
  • Mate, have you heard of ADHD?
  • These questions were answered when I was given the opportunity to go to Broome for 6 weeks as part of the BLOC program. Broome known for its its balmy hot sun, the dry-humid weather and picturesque landscapes - saw myself enjoying the place and people. During my time there, my passion to become a doctor was reignited. It was definitely the beaches. Kidding, it was the incredible teaching provided from the Broome doctors.

  • My reignited passion was reflected in my study. I became so driven, I wanted to learn everything about medicine in so little time. I would spend late evenings studying topics that weren't in the curriculum because I JUST WANTED TO KNOW. I found myself planning out my future and where medicine would take me. This was a very exciting time for me.

  • But then! All this passion and learning did not last long. As the pace picked up, I found it hard to keep up. It felt like my brain no longer knew how to function. Learning felt forced. Attending classes felt a waste of time. Exams were no better - they were scarier than my worst nightmare. Medicine was not on my side. The darkness return and I found no other option but to seek out support.
  • In despair, I decided to speak to the staff at ND and see my GP. They both suggested I may be exhibiting symptoms of ADHD. I knew about it because I had it as a kid (but I thought it would go away in my adult years). Hearing of this news, I was relieved to have answers. It made sense to why I lost my spark. Here I was doubting myself over something I was not in control of.
  • Is that the new HD TV?
