Our journey to the earphone, by: Ziad Badri and Basel Al-Zahrani

Medicine is a lifelong journey that does not start from the lecture hall nor end with the internship year. It is a story of passion shaped in the heart, manifested through patience in every detail. In this book, we accompany you along the long road that a medical student takes: from the moment of decision, passing through acceptance into the college, the details of the busy study years, until standing firmly in front of the first patient in the hospital. You will read about exhaustion, amazement, fear, and small victories that mean a lot… about the challenges of achievement, psychological pressures, and relationships that make a difference. We share with you real experiences, lessons we have learned, and secrets that the curriculum does not tell you. This book is not an academic guide, but a sincere companion on the path. For everyone who has started the journey, or is still contemplating undertaking it, as you move through the pages of the book, you will find answers to many rumors and questions about medicine indirectly, and it changes many misconceptions spread among people, because medicine is not just a specialty but a life lived with all your senses.
