med school and beerit's only my second day in school. but already i've had what i personally perceive to be highly enlightened observations about med school. and i find that there are, in actuality, stunning similarities between med school and beer, the alcoholic beverage named after a drunk grizzly. and naturally there are differences. in the following article, i shall attempt to explore both from the point of view of an observer and an insider. Similarities both are bitter. and after a while of consuming it, you enter into a bliss. only to wake up in utter dismay too much of either of them gets you intoxicated. it remains disputed as to which one has a worse effect on your overall health. if you have either of them daily, chances are, you'll die 10 years earlier. under the influence of either of them, you are not able to: think well, work well, communicate well too much of either of them gives you a serious hangover. under the influence of either of them, you find yourself doing things you would never have done had you been absolutely, say, yourself and normal when you get together with friends, all you talk about is ______ (fill it out yourself) people find it excessively annoying if ______ is the centre of your conversation. every one of them. every. one. some people think they can meet people of the opposite sex if they are involved with ______. true, but you won't be a very interesting person to them. Difference when you watch a game of ice hockey/football/basketball, a healthy bottle of beer and not med school will make the moment much more fun. americans produce the best med schools. americans do not produce the best beers. most people who drink beer regularly do like beer. most people who go to med school regularly do not like med school. editor's note: all of the above information regarding beer is based almost entirely on observation. the information regarding med school, however, is sadly, based on personal experience. |
