  6. Thanks to everyone who said they enjoyed the comic.

    OMDG: Yes, you do :)

    The dog thing isn't a bad idea. Actually, I gotta give it up for a fellow med student who finished getting reamed by an ob/gyn resident, and he said, "What's wrong with you? I don't talk to a DOG that way."

  7. Ah those were the days.....I actually miss med skool....at least then I had the choice not to show up as an MSI or MS II. Now, as a PGY4-these bastids own my soul.....lol.

  8. So that's what I need to do to get As - sit in the front row. I sit in the 3rd row, and I do have a B average.

    Love the Golden Retriever idea. Can't wait to see that one.

  10. I should give credit where credit is due: The Golden Retriever idea came from our pediatrics clerkship director who told us that, "A good medical student is kind of like a Golden Retriever."

  11. Actually, I was thinking of something along the lines of "Why it's better to be a dog than a med student"... :)

  12. I can think of a whole host of reasons why it's better to be a dog than a HUMAN. Well, maybe just my dog.

  13. We definitely had some of those back-of-the-room-but-A's-anyway people. But sadly, sitting in the front doesn't always work out to an A...

  14. I can agree with the relationships bit. And the lasts forever bit....

  15. I got told by a client once I was like a golden retriever...

    BTW, am I the only one that thinks the student-by-grade depictions look like sperm?
