You Might Be Experiencing Med School Burnout if….

-You find a specality you like and then you find out there are 3 spots a year for it NATIONALLY.  Oh and the closest one is in Delaware?!?!?!

- That boy from high school that had a HUGE crush on you that you never had feelings like that for…is giving you guy advice and advice about being too busy.

-You don’t actually have time to wash your hair.

-You find yourself wearing the same pair of jeans for more than three to four days in a row.

-Your diet consists of sandwiches, mostly turkey, caffeinated beverages and the occasional Raman noodles.

-You dream about physiology

-You start to talk in multiple choice format

-You see a beautiful sunset on the way home and begin to think of histo slides

-You read some medical ethics stuff and start to realize how much you miss college where you babbled on and on about David Hume. Seriously YOU MISS DAVID HUME. You are even more sincerely sad that none of your classmates  has any clue who David Hume is.

-You begin to look up graduate schools in other displines hoping for a life raft off the sinking ship.

-You leave frantic messages on your college friends’ phones/facebooks/etc that are something like:  “So busy…4 lectures behind and I have a research project due next week and well yeah don’t try to call me this week, maybe next week…wait no exam next week, maybe we could schedule something the following week, I’m free…well scratch that just leave a message…..miss you….miss having time to talk to you

-You are siting in intently in Panara when a middle aged guy comes up and says “Oh the Frank Starling curve, that brings back memories!” You reply, “Unpleasant memories no doubt?” “Well acutally I am a Cardiologist, hey do you go to Wake?”
crap!
