Asked my parents this

Members do not see this ad.

So I asked both my parents what they would do in the situation:

If they kicked me in the face just once, my first choice medical school (Stanford) would offer me instant acceptance.

And if they didn't, no medical school would ever accept me. Both said no.


Ridiculous question? Maybe. But on a simpler level, it's a question of morals/ethics. They reasoned that nothing is worth humiliating myself even briefly even if it means I can't be a doctor (both of them are docs).

I, on the other hand, would instantly let anyone kick me in the face if it meant I'd be Stanford 2015.

 

[Doodl3s]

sooo, you have a secret desire for your parents to kick you in the face?

have you thought about psych rotations?

 

[Gigantron]

Do you want me to kick you in the face?

Jesus kid it's puff puff pass, sounds like you didn't share and just kept puffing.

....I didn't know it was that easy to get into Stanford. 🙄

so which one are you using? crystal meth, cocaine, weed, ecstasy, heroine?

 

[BerlinDude]

If you get rejected by Stanford, it will be because I did not kick you in the face.

I am willing to kick you in the face, but only for a substantial fee.

 

[thechenster]

Would you guys get kicked in the face for an instant spot at your 1st choice?

And yes, any one (just one) of you can kick me in the face if you've got a spot at Stanford for me right after 🙂

Come on people, it's better than eating poop hot dogs

What if you learned to kick youself in the face? Would that still count?

 

[morning]

I'm not Chun Li over here, so I don't think I could manage to kick as high as your face, but would you settle for the balls?

 

[Rickybobby]

Idiot.

[Electronegative]

What won't pre-meds do just to get an acceptance?
-First eating poop hotdog
-Next donating an organ
-then getting kicked in a face by parents
What's next taking a bath in a sewer and running naked in the middle of NYC and shouting "I'm gonna be a doctor!"
How about just preparing a plan b incase of rejections.

The best part is the posts exist for forever, or at least for the lifetime of SDN. 😀

I've fulfilled my role as a lurker for some time now, so I know all about these poop hot dogs. My willingness to eat that to get into med school, however, is highly dependent on the availability of relish.

 

[Narmerguy]

I think the better question is, would my parents stop kicking the snot out of me for me to get into medical school.

Both said no.

Your parents don't want you to be a doctor! 😱

my mom's a doctor and she'd probably kick me in the face. she said she'd ask me what i'd prefer, and kick me if that's what i wanted

 

[PanicAttack]

I would have kicked you in the face when you asked me that question. Good luck!

No thread would be complete without someone mentioning that. 😛

Offer accepted.

Let me know when and where ... and I will happily kick you in the face - hard. After that, I will write a super awesome letter to Stanford for you. I'll even include some pics from the ER. I've got a good feeling about this kid. You've got a good head on your shoulders (for now), and you're keeping it all in perspective!

 

[Hifey]

Can I be next in line? I promise to bring my pointy toed stilettos. Those should get you into your TWO top schools + full ride scholarship!

Well assuming that other guy has my spot reserved for me, why would I want another spot at my second choice?

Jeez how'd you get into wake forest?

One of these things is not like the others. One of the things just doesn't belong . . .

I bet it didn't involve getting kicked in the face.

Nope just kicked down the damn door and said and I quote "The doctah is in the shizhouuse".

Or more likely than that had a good app?

Yea I might end up having to consider going the good application route. I'm still holding out for this though.


Many of you obviously don't understand what this was really about. On a more basic level for those of you, I asked my parents an ethical question.

Would they hurt me/cause me momentary humiliation if it guaranteed that I would become a doctor, thus in the end saving me a ton of stress/work?

And the answer was no because they are strong believers in hard work and think that I can get an acceptance without that kind of humiliation.

That was the point of this thread.
