When you are showering, I am studying.
When you are pouring your cornflakes, I am studying.
When you are sitting in a red light, I am studying.
When you are thinking about how hot the professor is, I am studying.
When you talk about how much doctors make, I am studying.
When you are sleeping in saturday morning with a hangover, I am studying.
When you are working out, I am studying.
When you are reading naughty magazines, I am studying.
When you are sitting outside the testing room waiting, I am studying.
When your mind wanders while sitting in the library supposed to be studying, I am studying.
When you are spending a four-day weekend in Vegas after a week of tough exams, I am studying.
When you are studying, I am studying harder.

I am every medical student's nightmare, that guy who is always studying.


[This "poem" was inspired by someone I see every day, 7 days a week even Friday and Saturday night, sitting in the same spot studying. His eternal presense a glaring reminder that he is probably going to make #1 in our class rank and seeing him there ALWAYS annoys me to no end. Although I hate him with all my heart, he does motivate me to study harder :).]
 
Timeline for med school
Have you ever wondered this
think of the haiku
 
The Anatomy Lesson

As I float over your body, I think:
no lover can know you as intimately
as I. Plunging my scalpel into
the tomb of lifelong secrets your body
offers, I fumble and flinch—awkwardly
making my incision—half waiting to hear you
yell and yelp. I beg for forgiveness.

Low and lower, I analyze connections.
Expecting to find his spirit within?
Sailing across the Ocean, I listen.
Silent as a textbook, his oration takes hours.
Opening him is no small task;
nor is the privilege.

:thumbup: well written
 
herpes in your eye
you're looking for love
in all the wrong places

GI lab reeks bad,
at least I can fart in lab,
no one else will know.
 
The worth of my brain
Is two-hundred-thousand bucks
But only to me

Doctors write awkward poems
We sat through a painful session with
A doctor who thought that he was the next poet laureate but actually made us all really
Uncomfortable.


Ugh. That was a terrible experience. Choppy sentences and disgusting sentiments do not poetry make.

Not a hai ku
 
This just happened to me today during lab review:

Shut up and just look
This surely is the branch nerve
Oh F*ck I snapped it.
 
what was I thinking
how much longer 'til I'm through
please god kill me now

one more PBL
or teambased suckfest and I'll
paint the walls with brains

med school is so fun
I am so glad I came here
I hope I don't fail
 
Not a Hai Ku, but whatever:

I read medicine,
biochemistry and every amine
Hoping for money, chicks and more chicks
only to realise it's only some flicks
Medicine is loneliness
in both society and work
You give your life
to save other people's lives
That's medicine
and that's how it will remain.

--------------------------------------------
Hai Ku? Maybe? I'll give it a try:

Losing track of time
is it morning or is it night?
Either way I have to study.

wow, so i totally thought that said anime the first time i read it, and i was reaaaally confused!
 
I am an M2.
It is now Saturday night.
And so, I study.


Pharmacology
Makes me want to kill myself
But then I would fail
 
F*ck this Med School ****.
Pathology can suck it.
Shoulda gone law...

He is really cool. I've seen him in the anime movie Hino No Tori 2772 - Ai No Kozumuzon.
 
To my family:
Make all phone calls high yield
mnemonics preferred
 
Studying micro
there are so many bugs
we should all be dead

Studying micro
there are so many bugs
I wish I was dead
 
Hospital or class
or library or Starbucks
Why do I pay rent?


And a little shout-out to TIN, which I just studied:

Caffeine sustains me.
Analgesics for headaches.
My kidneys might fail.
 
On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
An olfactory nerve in my cribiform plate
On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Two optic tracts
And an olfactory nerve in my cribiform plate
On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Three innervated rectus muscles
Two optic tracts
And an olfactory nerve in my cribiform plate

And so on...

Feel free to finish the rest if you get the pattern... my brain is fried.
 
A slightly bitter haiku from the osteopathic world:

OMM techniques
Study claims better than sham
But N=5
 
Creatures of the Night
by Dr. Edwin Leap, an ER physician who covers night shift
taken from his book, Working Knights


Here's to the creatures who roam the night
And sleep through the light of day
Here's to the creatures who drink and fight
And slur every word they say.

Here's to the beasties who need more drugs
For injuries no one can see;
Here's to the people with bites from bugs
And 'players' who burn when they pee.

Here's to the felons who never get tried
For crimes that would make your blood cold;
Here's to the charm that cannot be denied
In the ladies who dance around poles.

Here's to the psychos, the dealers and slashers,
Who should be in cells without keys;
Here's to the rashes, the tattoos and gashes
That no one but us ever sees.

Here's to the madness, the sleepy eyed sadness
The restlessness, anger and lies;
Here's to the drama, the glory the madness,
The killer that blubbers and cries

If I ever quit I am sure I would miss
All your stories and chaotic times
'Cause hearing and seeing the things that you do
Gives meaning and life to my rhymes.

:laugh: This made me laugh so much. I think I am too beaten down and grumpy to be competitive any more. Or maybe I am too frantically stressed out? I forget which.

P.S. Some of these poems are so funny they make me happy. I like the one about how we are all infected and should be/wish we were already dead, and the other one about Starbucks and kidney failure. If I had to write a poem it would be something along the lines of

Immunology is a misery
I can't believe anybody studies this voluntarily
(followed by the sound of sobbing)

ahahahaha...

We're so cheap, an hour of our time can always be bought with a couple slices of cafeteria pizza. Greasy, undercooked, nasty, who cares? IT'S FREE!
 
Another take on the 12 days of christmas:

on the first day of christmas the attending gave to me...a DNR on telemetry
on the second day of christmas the attending gave to me...two TIAs
on the third day of chirstmas the attending gave to me...three UTIs
on the fourth day of christmas the attending gave to me...four dehydrated diarrheas
on the fifth day of christmas the attending gave to me...5 pneu-mon-ias
