Number 6 is a general surgery internship. I’m firmly convinced that an outpatient family medicine clerkship is the 7th layer of hell. Number 6 is a general surgery internship.

They're all so sanctimonious, and think they should be exalted like Jesus for taking a job in the lowest-paid, constantly disrespected "specialty". I've been through clerkship (even surgery!), and the only residents that have ever been so rude to me that I had to retaliate were family medicine residents. They should just get off of their damn high horses. If they care so much about the health and welfare of the community, why don't they just sacrifice everything and become janitors? Idiots. They refuse to admit that $$$ talks. If there’s one thing I absolutely hate about family medicine, its the residents.

It's simply that med students are the lowest members of the medical totem pole. Since we can't really help patients and doctors have to make the effort to help us, we're not appreciated by either side. Sad, but true. K, it’s not about what med students have done to others.

To the owner of MSH: Great blog buddy. It nice to see a different view of what med school is all about, and it's interesting to see such harsh opinions about it. I like the whole "not sugar-coating" how your experience was during med school. I always hear all the great things about med school + the things to follow. There is more than one way of looking at things and it's good to know that it's not all easy road once you get into med school... Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future (+ any other contributors) Cheers! pKay. Great read Half Md, looking forward to more blogs in the future!
