M1 Flashback

I found this on my computer, an artifact from the good ol' days when we used to think "When are we going to start learning things to help us diagnose people?? I came to medical school to treat patients!!" . . . Now, I find myself saying, "Holy frick! Are we expected to be able to diagnose people?? I'm not ready to treat patients!!" Good...


Top Ten Reasons Not To Drop Out of Med School...

10. The chance to have your head directly in between someone else's knees six hours a day.
9. Playing "where's the laser?!?" when professors forget to bring their own laser pointer yet decide to use the dead R153 one anyway.
8. Only having to actually think about wardrobe choices once a week... otherwise the only decision is "blue or green?"
7. Being able to recklessly wield a scalpel without any worry of being sued.
6. Occasional free lunches--- basically make the $100,000+ of debt worth it.
5. The endless array of fascia--- all day, everyday... no extra cost!!
4. Gross anatomy humor... For example, my favorite of the intestine lab: Why did the colon need Viagra? Because it had a rectal disfunction... (provided by Brooks)
3. The joy of having every activity in your life tainted by the thought, "I should be studying...."
2. The oppurtunity to check your email, facebook, etc. 12-14 times an hour and knowing that at least 10 of those times there will actually be something new because all of your med school friends check their emails, facebooks, etc 12-14 times an hour too.

And the number one reason.....
1. The brachial pleckthuth.
