Fill in the blank with your favorite adjective or set of adjectives!
...yeah, but at least the dildo is capable of delivering pleasure...like waiting all year for christmas, convinced its going to be the greatest day of your life, convinced you are going to wake up and get that gift you've always wanted. Of course you are going to get that PS4, you've been good all year. You studied hard, worked hard for this, all the med students sing songs of immense gratitude, satisfaction, and great work-life balance, this has to be great. You wake up on christmas day elated, bursting at the ****ing seams at the prospect of that big beautiful box wrapped under that perfect christmas tree. You sit down, trying to control yourself, already tasting the delicious flavours of bliss that this present will provide...
...and lying there, inside the box, is the biggest dildo you have ever seen. You will be ****ed by this over, and over, and over.
thats how medical school is like.
...an umbrella. MS1 it gets shoved up your butthole, MS2 the umbrella gets opened, MS3 the umbrella is pulled out, MS4 relief.
My friend told me this years ago, always stuck with me lol.

Go home, you're drunkSpending the first two years learning all the material your professors want you to learn for, of which 0% actually helps you for the BIGGEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE which culminates after that second year. You spend 4-6 weeks preparing for this BIG DAY, the day that SOLELY DETERMINES YOUR FUTURE. Those 2 years didn't matter at all for anything. Nothing, nada, all those Honors..NO ONE CARES. That test can throw you anything: low yield, stuff not in FA or Uworld, BS, etc. You have NO IDEA WHAT YOU GOT WRONG. That score then DETERMINES YOUR LIFE.
Oh, you worked hard and honored lots first two years. Who CARES?? Oh, you have lots of publications first author. HAHA the JOKE IS ON YOU, no one cares. Oh, you have lots of national awards for your research and other things. What a pity that couldn't go to someone who has high test scores as they are more worthy of it anyway. Oh, your attendings think the world of you. Again, NO ONE CARES and honestly if you do poorly on Step 1, you are a poor test taker and the SHELFs are going to wreck you (soon they will if they haven't already).
Oh, and now its getting to that point when you have to start meeting with program directors at your school. Your self esteem is shattered and all you can think about is when they look at your STEP score and tell you game is all over. You tried, but you aren't good enough. Time to switch career paths. Johnny over here has a 250, he is going to make SUCH A BETTER SURGEON than you because of that one test. If you want to publish some papers for me to help with my tenure go ahead tho, it would be nice of you...but there's no chance we are taking someone with a crap score like you in our program or any other program. Nice, glad I tried so hard for the past years to have it blown on a garbage test.
That's been my recollection of med school so far!!!!!!
Medical school is literally the best time I've had in my life so far.

Aren't you sick of bitching about the same thing over and over on here?removed for sanity
Oh yeah.

So it's exactly like HS?Med school is like high school, except everyone is a bit weird and there's a lot of dead bodies.
Haha, I'm not. This is great - class is done by noon most days, and half of it involves hashing through interesting topics with my friends. Doctors are coming and asking US to go shadow them, and when you do they're super excited to show you their specialty. Pass/fail. All of my friends have the same schedule as me so we're free to hang/study a lot, and they like talking med stuff with me, which is refreshing. I've got more of a social life now than I did in college, and I sleep better. What's not to like?I'm sorry to hear that.
Classmates who feel they're owed a specialty and get all butthurt when they can't hack it instead of realigning their expectations with reality.
Medical school should be a great teacher of humility for many, but some just don't get the lesson.
They're offering 220-250k around here, with some offers upward of 300k. Hardly pocket change for being in FM nowadays. Not that he'd even have to go that far- a 222 as a US MD is good enough for all but a few specialties.I think people forget how ridiculous they sound when they complain about being "stuck" in FM; as if anybody is going to pity someone that gets to work ~50 hours a week for $180k.
Let me guess-- you're a first year? 😀Haha, I'm not. This is great - class is done by noon most days, and half of it involves hashing through interesting topics with my friends.

Class from 8-12 would make me like med school a lot more as well. This 8-5 schedule 3 days a week and then hours of studying isn't much funHaha, I'm not.

I would hate that too. Mandatory attendance is for suckers.Class from 8-12 would make me like med school a lot more as well. This 8-5 schedule 3 days a week and then hours of studying isn't much fun

Wow, what school do you go to?? 🙂Haha, I'm not. This is great - class is done by noon most days, and half of it involves hashing through interesting topics with my friends.

I'm assuming (hope I'm right) it will get better after anatomy. Going to lab is brutal. If I could just stream biochem/genetics lectures from home and not have to worry about a lab component med school wouldn't seem so badI would hate that too. Mandatory attendance is for suckers.
Med school is like the worst job ever with mandatory attendance. It's like a vacation during which you've got to study a whole lot without it.
That's been my recollection of med school so far!!!!!!
I'm slowly getting burned out with this 9AM-5PM bs while having to study another 4-6 hrs after class. The pain won't stop. The only reassuring thing is that I know that my classmates are feeling the same pain. It's the only thing keeping me going right now.
You're doing it wrong. Preclerkship is a wonderful time if you manage your time well. And go to a P/F school...I'm sorry to hear that.

Im glad that the boards count more than anything else. Thats the way it should be, a meritocracy. It's bad enough that the current system makes premeds check a bunch of extraneous boxes, like """"research""""", which is actually just washing glassware like a lab monkey 90% of the time...or volunteering that they would have never done if they werent applying to med school...its laughable. No other country cares about this extraneous crap when deciding who gets to study medicine.
Please speak for yourself. I "checked" these "extraneous boxes" before I even wanted to go to medical school. I volunteered because it was rewarding to help others as a part of my community and I became a Research Assistant because I wanted to expand my knowledge outside of a classroom setting. Life as a physician, or in general, isn't just about standardized tests... It's about being a compassionate, well-rounded person.
