Hi guys!
My best friend, who is a 4th year in Med School in Peru send me a funny e-mail. I hope my translation skills don't destroy the humor of it. Feel free to add more quotes to it.
You know that you are in Medical School when.....
* It does matter if you are a 3rd or 4th year, people still ask you with horror whether you have already seen dead people (nobody seems to know that Anatomy happens during 1st year)
*Your parents and your friend's parents stop introducing you by your name. They just say: "This is my daughter/son who goes to Medical School".
*Your find yourself telling people that you can't go out on a Friday or Saturday night because you have to study or you are on call.
*The sun rises and you haven't even gone to bed, yet (and it's not because you went out the night before).
*It doesn't matter how much you study, there is always so much more material to learn.
*If you go out of town for the weekend, you take more books than clothes with you.
*You can't wait for weekends.....so that you can catch up on your readings.
*You are more familiar with last names such as Netter, Moore, Grant, Guyton, Robbins, etc than the last names of your classmates.
*You take forever explaining to people how long you'll be in school for.
*You feel that all your friends from high school chose easier majors.
*You wonder when you'll have time to get married and start a family.
*You can be sure that 80% of your male classmates will marry a nurse and 80% of your female classmates won't marry at all.
*You feel that their is very few things that can still creep you out.
*You drink more coffee than water during the day.
*You miss the days when you knew about current events in the nation.
*You learn of a war starting, after it ends.
*You check the nutritional chart in the boxes of everything you eat.
*Right before exams, you have a hard time remembering why you want to be a doctor.
*Your don't have "backpain"; you have a somatic dysfunction on .....
