Life as a medical student

Working in healthcare is amazing. You find yourself in a rare and privileged position where people will lay out the sum total of their experience in front of you. Yet the day-to-day can be so variable, so outrageous, so comical that you lose sight of that fact.

In writing about healthcare and medical school, I hope to fuse not only the sincerity but also the comedy inherent to the profession.
