I've been trying to study First Aid for the USMLE, 2019.
I also have companion volumes (Basic Science, Organ Systems, Cases) for when I need things to be unpacked / further explained.
I also have Pathoma lectures. It is a book. I can also purchase online lectures for when motivation becomes a problem. Sometimes he reads the book (that gives you the chance to say what he is about to say just before he says it).
Hmming and Haaing about the money motivates me to study USMLE / the Pathoma book, more.
I can also purchase access to questions -- where there is additional content / instruction around the questions. It is expensive:

My motorcycle died. The electrics. My mother said she would give me money for a new (second hand) one to get me back on the road again. Since I don't need to commute with my handy apartment location, location, location I asked if I could have a bicycyle, instead, and save the money to put it towards medical study / examination / accreditation.
The money is there, for that. For things like that.
But it is a lot of money.
I feel like I should eek everything I can out of First Aid for USMLE and Pathoma before forking out for the question / problem sets.
But likely that's the wrong approach. Like trying to *understand* mechanics or thermodynamics *before* starting the problem sets when it's about doing the problem sets, doing the problems sets, doing the problem sets, recognising the answer to the problem that you have done hundreds of times before, doing the problem sets.
I don't know.
I've also started flipping through Kahn Academy videos of AP American History, AP World History, AP Government and Civics.
I need to watch less Cohh and get back into work more properly. It's been a pretty unfocused year for me since I've been throwing mental f*ck*ng trantrums that they refused to process my application to medidcine properly (yet again) and I should have started in Feb.
But I guess I've had my couple months summer break (I studied through much of my summer break) and it is time for me to get back more properly into work.
I don't know the answer to your questions. I feel like I would need to see particular / individual cases. The Kahn Academy stuff is helping me make sense of the broad political situation and role of president and judiciary etc etc. Even the whole Pilgrims vs indentured servants (much of the medical workforce) and slavery thing.
I'm slightly obsessed with Brown, at the moment. And Rhode Island. And Moscow and Cernobyl...
I think I've found a competent lawyer. And I think the District Health Boards are learning to give the health workers the Medical Supplies and so on... So... So... There we go.
