A friend from UNC med did this--got a sweet assignment in northern california after graduating! I'm not sure how many years he owed doing the underserved primary care doc thing, but I'm pretty sure it defrayed all or almost all of his med school debt via the program. But he wanted to do primary care all along, not continue as a cardiologist or anything.

Oh and Lamp may I just take one moment to bitch that "real" Ph.D.s (the kind I would have been had I not dropped out after four years) none so impressed that the MD/PhDs all finished the PhDs whether or not they had done any decent research by that point. It's like a guarenteed hard stop, even if you haven't published anything.
― quincie, Monday, 25 May 2009 23:00 (fifteen years ago) link
all finished the PhDs in four years (reg Ph.D. at least six) I mean.

I think we got like ten minutes of a breakdown of "On Old Olympus...", but then they asked to know a bunch of other stuff about all the nerves for the test, so really if you were still having trouble remembering the names of all the nerves you had way bigger issues to deal with. It is still kind of fun to use the "Oh Oh Oh to touch and feel" version, but after a while you just memorize them. I did get some mileage out of Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Boobs Matter More, though.

Three reasons (of about 10,000) that the medical profession is not for me. Just reading the curtain rod thing made me woozy.

I candy striped one summer and spent most of my two weeks reading books in the nurse's station because I tried to give a man his own urine to drink (I didn't know the urinal thing wasn't a water pitcher!) and also I was kind of useless w/r/t bodily effluvia.

I figure that if I were a radiologist giving one of those "Come match to radiology" talks to med students I would just show a presentation full of foreign object radiographs. They are so hilarious!
Also once when I was volunteering in an ER I saw a dude come in complaining that somehow he had fallen and a foreign object had gotten stuck up his butt, somehow, and I was so excited that people actually do try and pretend like they didn't MEAN to put that thing in their butt that I almost broke out laughing.

Hahaha I love the excuses! They really need to post a sign in the ER saying "Look, we know how that thing got in your butt. Don't bother making up a story. We're going to laugh at you anyway (after you leave)."
― C-L, Tuesday, 3 November 2009 18:54 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh the fell on something that went up my butt thing happens all the time. A friend who is a PA once encountered a guy on an ER rotation who came in for rectal bleeding but denied any and all erm . . . butt play until she told him that there would be x-rays at which pt he admitted to pleasuring himself with a broom handle which then broke off. In his butt.
