I was browsing over at SDN and saw a post in the “pre-allo” forum where you guys were responding to the issue of medical student harassment based on the latest study. Let me say that I was reminded as to why I only visit the pre-allo forum once a year now.
I used to be just like you guys – all pumped up and empathetic about “helping people” while I was in college. I thought I knew it all with my 4.0 GPA and badass MCAT score. Just like you think you know it all now. Let me tell you that you don’t know shit. That’s right, you’re fucking clueless. You’re clueless just like I was. If you ever get accepted into medical school you’ll think back to this blog post one day and be like “you know what, that guy was right.”
All of you 20-somethings responding to the post are doing so without any experience whatsoever in dealing with residents, nurses, ancillary staff and attending physicians. All you have to base your comments on is what you read in that study. Your comments are meaningless dribble, much like your foreign “medical experience” in Peru that’s in your MDApplicants profile.
Until you spend 2 years on the wards working 14 hours per day and then come in to round on Saturday and Sunday morning, quit acting like you know what’s going on and shut the fuck up.
agreed
HERE HERE…u dont know what it’s like until you live it, and its never what you expected…i think its very bad for the psyche actually…to be so demoralized and beaten down…and now when i look at the pre-allo forum it pisses me off too…a bunch of nonsense!
couldn’t agree with you more. i used to be one of those eager, naive, excited ones. what a dumbass i was. i’m on my clinical years now and there is so much bullshit to put up with. it’s just incredible. i visit this blog on a daily basis because the truth is therapeutic. especially after putting on a mask all day everyday for 12-16 hrs dealing with people you hate.
pre-meds, you’ll see.
I agree with you. That is very nice article. Thank you for sharing.
Just because you ar pre med doesnt mean that you need to stfu. I may be only 22 but Ive been working as a nursing assistant for two years now and going to school full time. Ive put up with the douch bag surgeons, the lazy ass nurses, and the impossible to please patients. If I had a nickel for every time a doctor treated me like shit id be rich. Im sure their are many pre meds who had to work twice as hard to get to where you are so its not right to tell us to stfu. Its amazing how you are turning into the doctors you complain so much about
Fuck you Run4One you fat piece of shit.
