Laughing in lectures...

I know its awkward as most med school lectures are not supposed to be funny. But I can't help it, I have laughed at everything from pictures of some pathological conditions to videos shown in our patient and physician courses. sometimes its gotten to the point that I have a contagious effect on my neighbors and in a matter of seconds a whole bunch of people laugh at something that's not funny and the teacher just wonders if it was something he/she'd said. Attending lectures is almost like a stress relief for me...Also it doesn't help that my neighbor pokes fun at many things in lectures...like for example one lecturer was talking about tic borne disease and when she said "tics" it sounded like "tits", and my neighbor points it out to me...then everytime she said tic it sounded like tit to me and I just laughed every time. I know this is weird but humor is part of the reason why I attend lectures. I just thought I post to see if there's anyone else out there that have weirdo classmates like me?

Sounds a wee bit beavis and butthead. 🙄 (And FYI, you probably mean tick, not tic.) But at least you are enjoying med school. 🙂

Yeah, it sounds like the kind of stuff I would have laughed at in high school.

This is totally going to be me = ).

I had this problem in college.

I laugh in lecture but not at the penis/vagina stuff. Sometimes the lecturer is funny in a dry sort of way and maybe I am really socially deprived these days from all my studying, but I laugh.

We had a guy this week who was really funny in a subtle way and with an exam coming up and all I was doing was reading these darn lecture notes, well, this guy just seemed way funny. Other people laughed too, so it wasn't just me all by myself. I am not that strange. 🙂

I think the speakers are funny as hell, most of the time. There's this one neuro guy who gets up there and really makes me want to heckle him from the stands. He's just got that "straight-guy" funny thing going on. Of course, he doesn't think he's funny. But he is.

There are a few students who crack me up all the time. I get a kick out of patients, too, and I'm always laughing around them. Not at them, really; I just think their stories can be really great.

 

[BayRunner]

On the same note,

Does anyone else agree with me that being woken up to loud laughter in class is the worst and most confusing few seconds you can ever experience? 😴 😱

I admit it. I am not mature enough for a specialty like urology. All during my urology rotation I kept thinking about the joke of which the punchline is, "...I just leeeft zee testicles, Senor...and see that clock over there?"

 

[THP]

I laugh at this stuff all the time in lecture. I couldn't help laughing during biochem when the teacher started talking about the "dUMP substrate"

 

[deuist]

I had a graduate student who was giving a presentation in my anatomy class on the female reproductive system and would laugh every time he said, "clitoris."

 

[cfdavid]

I had a human anatomy post-bacc course. It was taught by a black woman from Europe. She spoke her native language and 4 European languages. So, her accent was unlike any I've ever really heard, and it was super thick.

I've come very close to losing it when she'd say things like Penn-ess. You all know the feeling when you JUST CAN'T get the thought out of your mind..lol So, I've just sat there by myself (and I didn't really know many people in the class, so I must have looked like quite the chump) giggling silently, hoping like hell that she wouldn't say anything else funny or else I'd lose it for sure........lol

Along the same lines, we had a post-doc Ph.D in my biochem class last block with a very thick Chinese accent. He kept talking about DNA cupping and lubrication, which not only confused us all, but also intrigued us. We wondered about these amazing molecules that "cupped" the DNA, and wondered why the hell DNA needed to be "lubricated". It wasn't till half-way through the lecture that we figured out he was talking about DNA COPYING and REPLICATION. Seriously, I had to throw away my notes that day, seeing as they were worthless. It was annoying then, but rather hilarious now.

HA HA HA!!!

"Lubrication," "replication," of course. I can see exactly how they are so similar.

I know those words won't typically be confused with eachother, but trust me, it was insane. Half the time we had NO idea what he was saying. The other half we spent trying to figure out the first half. I just finally quit going.

trying to make your fellow students laugh is perfectly acceptable, and good sport to boot.

Prof: "If you suspect trichomonas you can confirm it with a wet mount of the discharge"

friend: "that's strange, I thought a wet mount was how you get trichomonas..."

 

[CoolCucumber]

Testicle. Hee hee.

My first bio class in undergrad was taught by a woman born in China.

Every time she said "S Phase" (AKA synthesis in mitosis) it came out "Ass Face"

Still makes me giggle...

Had an oriental prof in biochem in first year - every time he would say "zinc enzymes" it came out sounding like "chink" enzymes. At first, I was so surprised that he had said this, and was sure I must have misunderstood him, but I wasn't alone. One of the other people in class asked him to repeat it, and still noone could understand him. Finally, he had to spell it out on the board..

we were so confused, but we still laugh about it!

BTW, The term oriental is generally used to discuss objects (oriental vase, rug, etc). The appropriate descriptive term for a person is Asian.
