Now that we have began the process of moving to Ohio in two months, I decided it was time to purge my notes and textbooks from medical school. Surprisingly, this was a difficult task for me. As much as these material reminded me of the long, stressful nights of studying, the countless hours spent agonizing over these notes had developed a strange attachment for them within me. As I flipped through page after page, I could literally see the time and effort put into memorizing the details that formed the foundation of my medical knowledge, as coffee stains and layers of underlining/highlighting riddled every page. As much as I hated the time spent studying for the past 4 years, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to study medicine and I wouldn't give it up for anything. However, I very much look forward to moving on in my training ... and trust me ... I won't look back!
As a parting gift, some people would ask me what medical school is like. Well here's a picture that represents what the first 2 years of medical school is like for us students ... I can assure you this stack of notes was read through at least 5 times, and that's not including any textbooks which I read. Med School is ridiculous!
