25 Things I Didn't Do Before I Entered Medicine

Wake up before 8am.
Go to sleep after 2am.
Look forward to sleeping nearly every night.

Wear a shirt and tie to work.
Shave more than three times a week.

Stick my finger up peoples' butts.
Ask people how many people they’ve slept with.
Ask men to tell me about their erectile dysfunction.
Ask for men to show me their penis.
Dread seeing vaginas.

Be able to tell police officers what to do (in the hospital, at least).
Talk with police officers.
Talk with prisoners.

Slam the phone on people.
Hate pagers.
Hate anything that beeps.

Drink at home, alone.
Want to drink this much.

Be thankful I am alive.
Hope that certain people would die.

Struggle for money.
Dream of money.
Despise people with money.
Despise people.

Wish I didn't enter medicine.
