Love, Me. P.S. That evaluation, and the fact that you are going to move through medical school and get a residency just like everyone else, is going to get me through my last 3 weeks of surgery.

You'll be faced with students who are doing a different specialty each time they step foot on a rotation. These students are what I like to refer to as "rotation whores", because they simply tell the residents and attendings that they plan to go into whatever rotation they're on for the block. Haha Parcho, med school is indeed a blast =) I would've killed for an attending like that. Out of site, out of mind...

One of my surgery evals was straight 5's. (1-7 scale with 7 being best, 1 worst). He left no comments. Basically, he conceeded that he didn't know me...didn't care...and passed me anyway. Isn't med school fun? Hey, at least he knew who you were.

EM, IM, possibly OB.. Not surgery. I don't have the patience, the concentration, or the lack of sanity required for that. I have every intention of being up-front with that on my surgery rotation in med school.. Like, please don't ask me to do more than the bare minimum, because I really just .. don't want to. O.o; Let the nutjob kids who like this crap have it.
