MED SCHOOL GIF PARTY (prt 2)

..............are you sick of my gif file nonsense yet?

I'm gonna do a part two if you're ready.
Ready?
Yes? No? Maybe?

Ok.

LETS DO THIS.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF 2nd YEAR MED SCHOOL (part the second)

So you have your spring break and that was half alright/a blur for a few days. You come back to school and you THINK that you're gonna be all refreshed and ready to face whatever the next block of courses are. You know that there are impending FINAL OSCEs coming up.... but you can deal with that cuz really... you've only got like 6 weeks between now and your BLACK BAG (aka., final work term before clerkship). 

It's may and you're all about turning over a new leaf. No alcohol! Exercise/yoga EVERY DAY ALL THE TIME! Start a blog! etc etc etc. You are ready for this shit. And you are gonna ROCK IT:

....First Lecture (TLDNR):

......Second Lecture (runs overtime): 

....Then... all the lectures are just a blur.

Basically.. to sum of the remainder of that semester before Black Bag: 

Seems kind of negative right? 

Well... first of all.. deal with it. 

Secondly... SEMESTERS OVER SECOND OSCE IS OVER AND BAM NOW YOU'RE ABOUT TO START BLACK BAG. 

Gonna go to work every day! You tell all your friends its basically gonna be a vacation! You are STOKED cuz you know ALL THE THINGS and its JUST general practice. How hard could that POSSIBLY BE!? PIECE OF CAKE.

....let me go ahead and tell you what nobody told me: 

SEE ONE DO ONE TEACH ONE   (Medschool Protip: prepare for that statement to bring you the WORST anxiety forever and ever and ever)

And your preceptor takes pity on you and is like "ok its you're first day. Here is a straightforward case. Do this one yourself. You got this" 

NOPE.

NO ITS OK I GOT DIS. I HAVE EXCELLENT PEOPLE SKILLS

WRONG.

...Long story short. I don't care how smart you think you are, here is what will happen every.single.day. (possibly for the rest of your life):

And then, Before you know it! BLACK BAG IS OVER!. BACK TO CLERKSHIP PREP COURSE FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN YOU ARE AN ADULT FOREVER! WHEEEE.

Remember how it felt when you started 2nd yr? 

Well... once family med put you in your place about being an arrogant asshole... 

Here is the morning of starting Clerkship Prep Course:

I will be the first to admit that I, at one point in time, may or may not have been a bit of a self-assured individual (ie., cocky) when it came to my intelligence. Even in first year I got all kinds of sick ole marks...But the combination of 2nd yr and black bag put me in my place pretty harshly. So... I was like, alright prep course: teach me all the things. ASAP...before I fail at life forever. 

The heavens part and SUDDENLY you start seeing these super easy peese courses about "professionalism in the workplace" and you're like: 

Which is just segway into....

Because it seems like every lecture has the following theme: 

And then they ask you to write a paper on that... which may or may not be worth any marks. And you're like: 

NAILED. IT. 

And all looks awesome for a little while. 

You enter week 2 of the Clerkship Prep Course. 

You look at your schedule and its all like "welcome to the discipline of X" (where X = a bunch of courses in sequential order). 

And part of your brain is like... maybe I should pay attention cuz this is probably going to be more helpful than last week. But the larger, lazier and more arrogant part of your brain that came creeping back like a festering venereal infection after an unfinished course of antibiotics is like:
