I worked hard to look good on paper just like everyone else who was accepted did. Just because I was accepted doesn't mean I'm grateful for that. Hell, looking back I wish I was never accepted. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for that guy, but it was just as unpleasant for me. Also, if you read the rest of the blog you'd learn that I didn't pursue medicine after graduating from medical school. I'm running a company doing something totally unrelated to medicine, making incredible money, and have more free time than I know what to do with. At this rate, I'll be ready for retirement many, many years earlier than if I would've stayed in medicine. Everything worked out great.

Maybe you should be greatful you were accepted to med school, are relatively healthy, and will soon be earning more than enough money to stay financially secure. Honestly, think of how it felt for the 350 pounder with your finger pulling shit out of his ass. You seem like a rather whiny person.

My life seems tame compared to this immersion in poop, but i recollect being faced with a child whose hands were covered with finger paint, and he was in an angry mood, and I had on some pretty nice wool pants; and then there was a boy in play therapy passing gas and preparing to go encopretic because he was not winning our checkers game. Once I was hiding under a chair (play therapy)while a kid was shooting plastic darts at me, and it occurred to me that I actually had a PhD, and this was not what I went to grad school for, and I can say, like Bill Clinton, Ah Feel Yore Pain, and doggone, maybe the lawyers are the ones who stay clean while practicing their profession.

But, I tried to stay in the back and out of site for most of my third year. I figured I would have to do the least possible this way. I think it worked out pretty well.
