How I became a Surgeon : Knowing 3 things.
Ever felt like you're drowning in information, struggling to keep your head above the vast ocean of facts and details? You're not alone. Join me, Dr Gavin Nimon an orthopaedic surgeon and your guide through the unfathomable depths of medical knowledge on Aussie MedEd. 

In this episode, I reveal the Rule of Threes, a study technique that transformed my approach to learning and retaining complex medical information. It's not just another mnemonic; it's a powerful concept borrowed from storytelling that can help you, regardless of your field, navigate through the thicket of facts to the clearings of understanding.

We'll discuss the limitations of traditional acronyms and how visualizing patient presentations in threes can sharpen your recall and deepen your responses. As I walk you through this principle, you'll see how dividing information into triadic components not only simplifies your studies but also enriches your grasp of any subject. 

This isn't about a one-size-fits-all method but an invitation to reframe your learning process, potentially turning the tide in your educational journey. So whether you're a student wrestling with textbooks or a seasoned professional looking to stay on top of your game, tune in and explore how the Rule of Threes could anchor your learning strategies.
