If I were asked what super power I would want most, I would answer emphatically “the ability to manipulate time.” There’s something completely ridiculous and insane about cramming in 30-40 hour (units) per semester of your first and second year. With the amount of information that is expected of us to absorb, digest, and recall, our mental digestive system often has reflux, and especially during post exams, intractable mental vomiting.
There are some medical students that wake up really early to get a head start on the day’s lectures. We call them gunners. Depending on the day, a medical student can have anywhere from 3-8 hours of lecture a day. Then you got some who do research after all those brain-numbing lectures. Then there are some crazies who actually hold a job during medical school. There’s also much needed time for extracurricular activities. And you got some with a kids, significant others that need to be remembered from time to time, and friends (remember them?). Oh yeh and there’s studying which appears to require an endless amount of time. Endless is a long time and makes you realize why there are ONLY 24 hours in a day and question why humans need to sleep anyway? Sleep. What a waste of time.
If I had the power to manipulate time, medical school would probably be easier. But then again, medical school would probably be longer and the thought of that makes me vomit intractably.
med school has made my bum unbelievably flat. after sitting in those chairs like 8 hours a day i find there’s nothing left in the back of my pants.
