The adventures of med school.
Let it be said, med school if far from boring. But not that close to fun as it may seem to many. But between the sleep deprivation, the total lack of a personal life outside the university and friends who only study more after the long day in the hospital is over.... yeah, you catch my drift. But this is my third year I've survived. Three more to go, yey!
As a third year, our Surgery exam here. More like, it was TODAY. Fun, right? Well, practicing bandage techniques, how to place IV's, injections, catheters, how to question and examine a patient was pretty neat. Thing is - DONT OVERSLEEP FOR SURGERY EXAM.
My exam starts at 8 am sharp. I woke up 7:50.
I was in the hospital at 8:03.
And this is what happened today:
RINGGGGGG
Friend: Dude, where the hell are you, the exam is about to start?
Me: *from very, very tired -> instant alertness* WHAT.
Friend: Get your ass over here, now.
Me: I'll never make it :( I won’t have time to put on my scrubs!
Friend: Then leave with them on!
Yeaaah. So, no time for normal clothes, I quickly threw the scrubs on me, took my stethoscope and a pen. And that was it. I put my coat on and called a cab. I might have freaked out the taxi driver why the hell I'm wearing scrubs and a stethoscope so far away from the hospital, but whatever :D I made it just in time.
Gotta love med school!
