Indeed very genius of you Anon, correct the first one is A, DM-1. You are also right with the B, C and D. E is DM-2 due to stronger genetic predisposition than DM-1 and no association with HLA.

Perhaps you can try the second one.

mrq: thank you for dropping by. Indeed, US medical students are much more mature since they start med school by the age of 20 something (sometimes 30 something), unlike other places starting to recruit medical students right after high school. That is a very worrysome trend because the brain physically matures at age 20 something (I read somewhere), not 18.

Sarah: That’s what they told me. It’s hard to rise above, but it’s not like we can’t do it. Do all we can within the limit of our powers.

hmmm, just in case u guys dont know those 2nd year med student isnt at your age when u’r in ur 2nd year. those guys need to hold a bachelor degree in smthg else i.e biotech, biochem etc before entering med school. so if they said 2nd year in med scool means that they’r already 6 yrs in school. dont feel so down guys. just study hard

It’s something THEY should force us do. What the hell with the rotation 9 to 12 only (with half hour break included) when our peers in Malaysia are working their asses off 8-5 every day in hospital?

Well, I’m glad with my blog too…

It’s an honor that a highly-venerated person such as yourself to drop by my blog, sir. I’m sure great medical students here will do their best to push beyond their limits; because the sky’s the limit.

Well put efenem. There is nothing more meaningful than pushing the boundaries. This is what makes good to become great. Malaysia is a developed Nation that needs all its resources in future to be Global players. All of you can become one. Good luck & Salam.
