How impressive would it look for medical school if someone owned a (science/medicine related) patent? I'm just wondering, I don't have a patent myself or anything.

If you're applying to my school and you have a patent from your research, the adcomm will be impressed.How impressive would it look for medical school if someone owned a (science/medicine related) patent? I'm just wondering, I don't have a patent myself or anything.

So did I.
Me too. I was like wa-wa-what? Wow.I seriously thought the thread title said "Owning a patient." I was like
In fact, I thought you were talking about owning a virtual patient, or one of those high-tech dummies that they use in medical school. I was starting to think "UBER GUNNER" until I re-read! haha.
My friend knows a guy who has patents where he switched Deuterium for Hydrogen in a bunch of prescription drugs to elongate drug delivery time. I'm not sure if that would really be the most impressive patent in the world, although it's definitely a creative idea that pharms are starting to get in to!
Any chance you have a paper on this? I'd be interested in reading it. I'd be surprised if the KIE would be enough to substantially lengthen the half life of a drug, but then again D2O can be fatal at moderate doses, so go figure.

For the low cost of $200,000 plus another $50,000 for related equipment and monitors (maybe a little cheaper since you can use decommissioned equipment) and $20,000 for training you can own your personal Med-sim Eagle patient simulator You can make the eyes roll and dilate, the arms twitch, chest moves, and it can talk!
If I was going to spend this much I'd just make a hot sexy robot that looks like Megan Fox.
