Medical schooling allegory

For you who know me, I really enjoy a good example. For sure I love a great homily, and a bang-up simile tickles me much. But a wonderful allegory just puts me over the rainbow. So here is my Medical School Allegory, and it has very entertaining visual aids, so fret not.

In your undergraduate schooling, you feel like you are doing a whole bunch of strange and silly things (pawing around in a pool of oatmeal).

You graduate, apply, and get accepted. There is a big to-do, and it IS exciting. They tell you that you have won, that now you have made it! Yeah! You want to learn to be a doctor?!?! Yeah! Are you ready?!?! Oh yeah, let's do it! Here come on, sit down, we will teach you SO MUCH. BLAMMO!

Whew. It comes kinda fast.

Here is the supplemental video:

Wow, I hope everyday isn't like that for you. That would be a little intense. Send me back to look for the marble already - that I can handle!
I also hope your professors aren't as crazy as that young Michael Richards!

Good Luck Tyler.

Holy CRAP! I hope you actually learn something if it is being taught that fast. I hope things settle down and get better from here. super duper good luck... oh and I guess a little hard work will help too.

Gooood Luck! And I thought nursing school was intense! The first year is always the hardest right!?

So, are you the one sitting on a rocking horse, with a cowboy hat on, covered in oatmeal with your mouth hanging open?

Because I think I am one of the kids still in the oatmeal digging around trying to win a prize!
