Ah Yikes, Med School!

I honestly don't remember how I found this blog. Well, rant really. To the best of my recollection I stumbled upon it on the single occasion I followed links to the next blog and the next blog and the one after that. I have started checking it now and then mostly out of morbid curiosity. It reminds me of some of the creepier moments (and creepier people) in med school. It vividly brings to mind that intern I worked with on my inpatient medicine rotation at the VA. He spent the entire month mournfully muttering under his breath: "I should have taken that toll booth job." The writer does show some flashes of insight but alas he is young and does not appear to have enough so called real world experience to realize that what he is experiencing isn't about medicine but about life in general. None of that is his fault of course. This is how we make doctors. So on my days when I'm tired and way too old I will have to stop and be thankful for how much energy I'm able to conserve by virtue of maturity.
