Walking up to school today, I bumped into my M1 buddy. At the beginning of this year, I had infinite tidbits of wisdom to give this fresh young mind about how to survive the first year of medical school. But, this morning, I found myself at a loss of words. I had no advice on how to tackle the second year. But, I did have this...
Nine More at No Extra Cost---- Top Nineteen Signs That You are an M1
--You have ever gone to class to hear Dr. May laugh, to see what colorful short sleeve button-down Dr. Hostler will wear with his pleated khakis, to hear Dr. Galli use naughty words, or to hear Dr. Ard… wait, who am I kidding, you can’t hear Dr. Ard….
--You have ever been jealous when someone says they got six hours of sleep the night before.
--You have a favorite cubical in the library (or room in the classroom building) and feel strangely insulted when someone has gotten there first.
--Your knowledge of the defecation process exceeds the average person’s knowledge of the entire human body.
--You routinely wake up sharing a bed with Frank Netter or Henry Gray.
--You have ever placed a bet on how many donuts Dr. Sinning will eat during one Saturday review session.
--Despite the fact that you are in medical school you won’t be able to perfrom basic life saving skills until after April because your last name is near the end of the alphabet.
--You have to justify taking time away from studying for everday activities such as showering and grocery shopping.
--You have ever thought about starting up a round of “bobbing for kidneys” while studying in gross lab.
--In the line at Wal-Mart you diagnose seven different people with genetic disorders that occur in less than 0.02% of the population.
--You have seriously considered the possibility of sleeping in the classroom building.
--For some reason the words “now I have a video to show you” strikes fear into your soul.
--You can plot the test schedule with either your blood pressure or the facial hair growth of the guys in the class.
--You have ever looked at a living person and wondered what it would be like to dissect them and not thought that was morally wrong.
--Your idea of “suction” includes paper towels and a turkey baster.
--You look very important in your full set of scrubs and ID badge but when someone asks directions in the hospital, you have no idea what they are talking about.
--The only white coat you ever get to wear is actually more of a yellowish brown color.
--The only thing getting you through the final/board season (also known as the holidays) is anticipating with bated breath to see who will win the Great American ‘Stache Off.
--You have ever verbally cheered when you correctly guessed a diagnosis while watching Grey’s Anatomy.
--After a breech in the large intestine, the term “colon cleansing” has taken on a whole new meaning.

This is a great list...kind of like that, if you were a kid in the 90's thing! Apparently, Dr. Sinning started holding off on the do-nuts...he's lost a lot of weight. And as to the white coat thing...the short white coat gets that dingy look that never goes away, too! :-)
