  4. Dr. Fizzy, You make me laugh. I once met a Hooters waitress who told me she wanted to go to med school...or take her real estate exam. This quiz could have sorted the poor thing out.

  6. Baha, apparently I'm a born doctor. Which is really funny because there are still a gazillion other things I want to be and I am past the halfway mark in med school. But it is nice to know.

  7. So Med school MIGHT be the choice for me, so says the quiz. And if not I can strip to pay off those loans. Ya know, I think if anything this quiz overestimates my stripping ability! ;)

  8. So... I live, breathe and pee medicine. Good to know. Does this mean I don't need to head to the pharmacy? I mean, since I am peeing the stuff out...

  9. I answered this truthfully, and the result was that I probably should not go to medical school. The problem is that I can fake sincerity really well, and I want a career with more status than a used car salesman, but I am not evil enough to be a politician. What else is left? I have been in medical practice for 28 years post residency.

  11. This quiz is so not accurate... I don't want to be an armadillo or an an ant but does that make me not medical school material?

  12. Number 9 is assuming people who go to med school are men (or just people that date women). Not cool.
