Cheers to Medical Students
A recent survey of roughly 4,000 medical students found that about 1,400, or 35 percent, abused alcohol, according to the Mayo Clinic, which conducted the study. That is compared to 16 percent of of peers not in medical school. Looks to me that they are just getting prepared to deal with the bureaucratic drag heading their way, and there is no better way to ease the pain of listening to an administrator talk or working on electronic records late into the night than by doing it while hammered drunk. I am kidding. Or am I? Things were much different in 1989 as the rate of alcohol abuse was no different then their peers then. What happened? I think we know.

Gosh, I had no idea it was that low.
If you already screwed up and went into primary care, bail full-time to the ER so you can at least afford the good stuff.
Stay out of primary care and the stress will be less. At least you get paid more.
Yep, they’re just gearing up for when they get into practice.
