My journey through medical school, thoughts on medicine, ethics, specialties, pre-med perils, and advice for those who want to do the same.
“"Virus" is a Latin word used by doctors to mean, "Your guess is as good as mine”
"The difference between an itch and an allergy is about one hundred bucks."
"A patient going to a doctor for his first visit was asked, ''And whom did you consult before coming to me?'' ''Only the village druggist,'' was the answer. ''And what sort of foolish advice did that numbskull give you?'' asked the doctor, his tone and manner denoting his contempt for the advice of the layman. ''Oh,'' replied his patient, with no malice aforethought, ''he told me to come and see you.''"
"He's the best physician that knows the worthlessness of the most medicines" Benjamin Franklin
A man speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" the doctor queries.
"No, you idiot!" the man shouts. "This is her husband!"
It's the weather down here. Stays hot so damn long, you convince yourself time isn't actually moving forward. Just summer forever. Then BAM it's New Years like 1 minute after you started....
ReplyDeleteThat's my theory anyway
it goes much faster the further along you're in...
ReplyDeletei would try and go "traditional" M3 year and get your cores out of the way. helps out a ton for step 2 ck at least. then M4 year you just do what you want.
i would highly recommend doing some sort of ICU month. work hard the first half or so of M4 year so you can totally slack after getting your letters, submitting apps, etc. i've entered "M4 heaven" and man, it's nice.
