Things to remember while in medical school
Having ditched my first set of classes to do laundry I now feel like I can give some specific recommendations for coping with the first term of med school.1. Pen drives worn on long black cords around the neck are not jewelry.
2. Friends and family do not appreciate your enthusiasm for your work in the cadaver lab, especially if it involves a chisel and the spinal cord.
3. Anatomy scrubs, much like chef whites, must be kept in a separate laundry bag if you don't want ALL of your laundry smelling like the cadaver lab.
4. Mnenoics do help, but it is hard to get some of them out of you mind ("Some lovers try positions that they can't handle" for the bones of the wrist) and they may end up rolling through your brain at inopportune times, like just before your embryology professor says " and you should definitely know that for the midterm."
5. DO not pack a lunch on dissection days.. Everything in your bag that you leave outside the dissection room smells like the dissection room for hours after you have been there.
More recommendations to follow.. I'll keep you posted.

The connection of cooking and medical school is a good one. Both require imagination, tenacity and being able to deal with yucky looking and smelling things.
reminds me of hannibal lector eating a liver with a nice little chianti!
Keep your chin up, literally!
