Don't you have enough studying to do?

Medical school is an interesting experience, one that I've been talking about for quite some time. I was a "pre-med" student for the last 3 years, planning and talking about medical school the entire time. As medical school started for me this fall I wasn't so sure if medical school would be as fun experiencing it as it was to talk about.
With a grand total of four weeks experience, my current estimate is that medical school is perfect for me: I love the experience and I love talking about it. There are many interesting experiences that make medical school unique and sometimes restricted to only health professions students. For example, anatomical dissection is something I'll only perform in entirety once... and it is experiences like that which I want to share with my family and friends, and record for my own memory. But really I'm doing this because my dad asked me to give it a try and I have a mom that would probably enjoy the anatomy lab more than I do.
Since my initial transition is complete, I'll be writing about the past for my first entries because those first weeks contained important experiences in moving from pre-med student to med student.

PS: You may also wonder why I'm not simply including this on our family blog - I just felt that some aspects of medical school simply aren't cute enough to fit onto our family blog... I mean, have you seen how cute our blog is? It's dang cute, and I think I'll need the liberty to include some less than cute topics in my record.

Mike and I were reading the Hippocratic Oath today and it says that practitioners of medicine will not give a woman a "pessary to cause an abortion"... it also says that he will not give any man poison (lethal drug) to kill him... even if he asks. Do you know--is that still in the version they recite in Med school? Just curious.
