UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH

1 month down and I have had 2 exams so far. I prepped for Pharm and while I passed, I was not happy with my score because I just barely passed.


Sometimes it feels that this is never, ever going to end.


Do you start feeling like a Dr. only after you are done with medical school? I probably know that answer already.


ouch… my brain hurts.


After watching that video, I decided that I do not like pancakes.

It gets better Gabe. Just wait until you start rotations!


As to the pharm exam, just give it one of these. . . and remember. . . you passed!

You will not feel like a Dr. until after you gain your “sea legs”, which is usually several months into your internship & commonly not until your PGY-2 year. However, you will begin to feel more comfortable in your ‘med student skin’ once rotations start & you figure out how to succeed there. As long as you remain in your MS-1/-2 years, you will continue to feel like a punching bag for the Ph.Ds.

Agree with OMD, once you have graduated (then you kinda of believe it) and well into intern year, then you “feel” like a doc albeit many times you go “huh?” who let me graduate…he he.

And the next time is when you graduate from residency…There are numerous times during a shift when I stop and think OMG I am responsible for the well-being of this patient!
