This is med school!

I had my first taste of med school tests today... Can't say it was very appetising. It left rather a lingering, unsavoury taste in my mouth. Indeed, I can now say that medical schools' reputation of endless hours of studtying is justified! One will be amazed at the amount of pneumonics, data sheets and other various forms of "quick learning methods" arise in the few days to weeks before a test! I'm sure we all want doctors that have understood everything they learnt at medical school, but at the end of the day, the medical student only has time to do so much , to study and learn that much. We are only human, not super beings...
