Whoa! - no surgical field skill comes without time and practice. If you want ANY surgical discipline.. do understand that it will take time after your masters. If you don't want that kind of stuff - h ...
closest exam would be the AIIMS Nov. Isn't it?, otherwise - yes you would have lost time.. but then - use that as a ground to PREPARE not as a bed of DESPAIR
that combo is ok.. but dont tend to veer towards the harrison handbook at the end (like the harsh mohan handbook for patho). Start reading topics at regular intervals
hard work and determination is what you must ingrain.. repeated reading and note-making is essential. AIIMS exam is gonna be tough, but you are conveniently poised in the IIIrd year, to start preps.

Solid piece of advice to tinyrekhoo mate!- but rekhoo's confused, and since all of us have been in similar situations- it does good to ask and be advised.
A coaching centre does have its pros and cons which are entirely based on YOUR mindset.. sure- you'll have a set of class toppers there too- and you'll probably wonder how the hell they manage to scor ...
O.P Ghai & Maheshwari are both books that do not undergo revisions that often- so even if you buy it now (Man!- you NEED to start reading paeds especially) you will be doing yourself a big favor..
Hmm- in your situation tinyrekhoo- i would suggest at least 3 rounds of reading of the texts with notes prepared too.. you have time to do that..don't worry. I don't think any would -be doctor is thor ...
I would suggest searching amazon.com for books with keyword 'MCQ', and then reading the reviews of customers, and then taking a decision.. I bought quite a number of good books that way.
II MBBS is the peach in the MBBS tree- you get to unwind a bit, take things a bit easier. But, more often than not, we tend to over-relax and de-stress ourselves- to the point of nonchalance, and that ...
see dear, the scheme of studying you took up - i.e reading systemwise anatomy followed by physio etc. is ideally how medicine as a whole should be learned !

i feel - you can wait a bit for your next purchase - core topics usually don't change after each edition, so you won't be missing out much. The year prior to your PG and year of PG are the most import ...
Ah yes rachel- the library!. If you plan to stick to your plan- good for you, and more power to you!
the sanctum of the library has the magical effect of boosting your confidence manifold, making yo ...
stick to chaurasia for exams- selections are better accesible, and easier to recall. Use K & M as reference. You have biochem and phsio too- remember. You can brush up on anatomy with the bigger books ...
All of us have been there my friend- I remember when I joined medicine, was totally fuzzed out for the first 2 months, but then slowly got on track, and did just fine.
You entered a sphere of learni ...
you can buy now- because you can start making noted earlier. But dont make the mistake of trying to use it as a textbook for UG. You'll be sitting saying "hari , hari" my dear son
george mathew has a few errors in it, and I would really advise you to go wholeheartedly at davidson.Because that is the STANDARD. If you goof up during your viva, and say- "but george mathew says..." ...
No need to keep on buying HArrisons as and when every edition comes out- unless you are a collector. It's a reference book for MBBS students, and a textbook for PGs. So by the time you get into PG- on ...
Harrisons read up during your MBBS days?.. well I don't know- You can peruse it as a reference source of course, bt for had core exam learning- don't you think it's mind boggling in its vastness?.. pe ...
'harsh' mohan is a little harsh on the eyes, but it is the way to go for quicker assimilation of patho DURING MBBS exams. remember that you have three other subjects which need serious attention. SO i ...
IB singh is the basic book- small and concise- read that first, and then go for the hi-funda ones. If you start off with a big book, more than often- you end up quitting it midway.
you definitely should read the texts- what I am trying to say is- do not study it just for learning points for the MCQ. Because you might see an MCQ in oph- backreference it, and just concentrate on t ...
Study hours should be kept mainly for theory only- because you have a HUUUGE amount to study. The clinical-skills you can learn at the wards or OP, and if you have a good teacher- just one or two demo ...
III MBBS is a bit relaxed (but nothing like II MBBS) in that you have relatively smaller textbooks for study.
In my opinion you can use this time to understand these texts very well instead of conce ...
