How to prepare myself reading and enjoy it?

Question

Okay so I love reading, but reading my anatomy book just make me feel bored, especially if the words are jargon on my part.

Anyway, so med students or pre-med students, I know that you love your courses, but not necessarily means that you love your anatomy books.

I read for the sake my grades, but sometimes, while reading, I feel sleepy and just not interested.

any tips?

btw, in case you're wondering, my course is PT (3rd year)

Answer 1

Unfortunately medical textbooks are not meant for enjoyment, and that goes double for anatomy books. But occasionally a British author will pen a droll paragraph. Our small dissecting manuals were called "Little Johns" after the author, John Cunningham. One item went something like this: "when the intestines are removed from the abdomen, the student will note that the stump of the mesenteric attachment to the posterior wall assumes the appearance of a goffered frill."

I'm not an expert on fashion, but I think goffered frills went out of style in the 1890s, if not earlier.

Answer 2

I took both A & P I and II.  I didn't read the book since I couldn't keep my interest in it and my mind would wander.  I bought a book that made it all simple.  The book I bought was much shorter and straight to the point.  It had tests I could use to review before the test.  I didn't read most of my college text books since I learn by listening and I also didn't take notes.  I would follow along in the book during lectures and high light what was talked about.  I would review this before the test.
