“If MBBS Students Were Honest: The Real Meaning Behind Our Words”

 

🧠 Things MBBS Students Say vs What They Actually Mean

Because sarcasm is our primary coping mechanism.

Let’s be real: MBBS students have their own language. We say things that sound smart, but deep down, we’re just confused, tired, and running on caffeine and vibes. So here’s a brutally honest guide to what we say vs what we actually mean. If you're a fellow med student — you're welcome. If you're not — good luck decoding us.

📚 “I’ve studied this.”

Translation: I saw the heading once. It looked familiar. That counts, right?

🛌 “I’ll revise it tomorrow.”

Translation: I’m unavailable right now due to extreme urge to scroll reels. Also, tomorrow never comes.

👯 “Let’s study together!”

Translation: We’ll play games for 3 hours,another 3 hours and pretend we tried.

🩺 “Clinicals are fun!”

Translation: I smiled, held the stethoscope upside down, and ran to patient when mam looked at me.

🧠 “It’s just an internal.”

Translation: It's a full-blown existential crisis disguised as a 40-mark exam. Mereko bas pass hona h 😭.

✅“I am fully prepared for the viva.”

Translation: I'm clean shaved,dressed formally,have my roll number patch and ready to say sorry to every other questions 

🫠 “I’m fine.”

Translation: I’ve had 2 breakdowns(mereko nahi hote bas cool lagne ke liye likha h 😭)

, 3 cups of chai, and I just googled ‘can stress cause death?’

🎓 “I’m dropping MBBS.”

Translation: I'm not. I just need a nap, biryani, and 6 hours of no academic thoughts.

🎯 Final Thoughts

Being an MBBS student means saying things with confidence and hoping no one asks follow-up questions. We’re not dumb, we’re just… chronically overwhelmed. So the next time we say “I’m prepared,” just hand us chocolate and back away slowly.
