What is med school like?

Eating 5 pancakes a day: a great description of what it is to be a med student. Except in my case the problem is usually that I try to eat too many other good foods that sound healthier, better, or more exciting at the moment, and then I'm just full.

If I got to eat Mary Pittard's oatmeal whole-wheat pancakes, it might be easier.

Well, here goes.

I'm not so sure this is a good idea. I have plenty to do besides blogging, and am in fact trying to cut back on ancillary commitments. But my cousin suggested that family and friends might be interested in hearing about some of the important, amusing, gross, or otherwise interesting things I learn in med school.

Teaching you what I'm learning is a good way to learn it, right? "Watch one, do one, teach one," as they say. (Or "Read one, remember one, teach one" at this stage.)

We'll find out.
