I haven't seen one of these in a while. Lets share all the funny things that us future docs do that make us unique and annoy the crap out of others!
You know you're a total pre-med when you're a high school junior telling people about which specialty you are going to do in 7+ years
...when you instantly look down on someone who wants to become a nurse
this is rediculous...i used to be a nurse, and it was awesome...now i'm an M3 and things are different...nurses will save your butt over and over and over...it will happen in ways that are too many to be listed...be nice to your nurses.
horor stories you hear about nurses being mean are usually the nurse retaliating to the student acting like a golden god...
in response to other questions, surgery is a sucker's job because the pay is too low, the stress is too high, and the hours are too long..most surgeons i talk to state that they are unsatisfied w/in 5 years of independent practice... wanted to be a surgeon when i was a premed....now i'm thinking pediatrics. moral of the story, just keep your eyes open
...when you'd never turn down an acceptance from Harvard or Johns Hopkins
When you check SDN after getting home from school... or you check it in school...
When you're a junior in high school and you find yourself
When you check SDN after getting home from school... or you check it in school...
When you're a junior in high school and you find yourself reading your parents college textbooks because you "want a head-start"...
When you are already thinking about things like residency competitiveness and you haven't even started undergraduate school...
When you are planning your AP classes around the premed reqs (not taking AP bio, physics, chem, etc. because you know you will have to take them again anyway)...
When you meet someone new the word "medicine" usually pops up within the first few sentences...
When you check SDN after getting home from school... or you check it in school...
When you are already thinking about getting married to another healthcare professional. (Probs a nurse for me. Maybe another doc.) lol
(I'm guilty of many of these things btw)
Just to hop on the nurse discussion:
I think in many cases nurses are probably even more nice than docs. Obviously it's a case by case basis, but that's the general feel I get. Nurses spend a lot of time with patients. Being a mean nurse would be kinda difficult.

Totally random...but have any of you read The Scut Monkey Comics?

YES.Oh pre-meds
...when you join honor/scientific/medically-related societies and major in Bioengineering/three majors because they "look good"
...when you've always wanted to help people (it was your "calling")
...when you're not exactly sure why you want to be a medical doctor (as opposed to another career) but definitely sure that you'll become one
...when you've already decided to one day have a polygamous relationship (with your spouse and career)
...when you plan to marry someone as rich as you'll be OR to get a pre-nupt
...when you study before medical school begins
...when you'd never turn down an acceptance from Harvard or Johns Hopkins
...when time is excruciatingly much more valuable than money
I'll add more mean stereotypes when I get to it.
When you spot someone that wants to become a doctor but they don't even know what the MCAT or USMLE is.
Dang, that's one in a million (;When you're a 17 year old girl and you'd rather shadow in the emergency room than go to the mall...

You know you're a high school premed when you're more concerned about the MCAT than the SAT.

I'm not a 17 year old girl, but I'd rather shadow in the ER than do anything else.
what is going on in here
You know you're a high school premed when you're more concerned about the MCAT than the SAT.
I'm bringing this thread back to life because I think it's so funny. But when your relationships never work because you're so driven and no one wants to be with the girl who thinks the perfect date is grabbing lunch in the hospital cafeteria and running back to shadow.
So many times when people break up with me it's because "You weren't invested" or "You're too busy" or "You never have time for me".
Story of my personal life.
Solution: Date other pre-meds
Ayyyyyyy

When you spend more time on SDN than you do actually studying...

You know when your a pre-med when you watch surgeries on Youtube during your free-time (I'm guilty of doing this)
