Today's crazy/evil idea

[charloween]

So I'm in training today, learning about the Science & Engineering Faculty (w00t info sessions). The liaison person giving us the presentation is talking about how most students she talks to in the Faculty want to go to med school. Then she mentions that McMaster doesn’t require MCAT results OR a strict science background. You just have to be a really good student.

So then I get my crazy idea: apply to Mac’s med school just for kicks, to see if I could get in. I’d never go because I hate people too much to want to be a doctor and I also love the field I’m in. When I got back to my desk I check to see how much the application fee would be: $275.

That’s too much bread for one crazy idea, but the idea alone is enough for an evil "I could apply and take space away from some kid who's been labouring in premed for four years already" kind of chuckle.

You could go into research instead of having a practice. :)

Yeah... and I could still make "watching tv" part of my job description either way. Hehehheh.

I can see you talking about Sylar and brain extraction while performing a knee reflext test on a patient.

Gawd, I'd be the worst kid's doctor ever. I'd keep using that knee reflex thing on them and giggling.

All the kids would come out of the examination room pitch red from crying....."don't you want a lollipop?"

Heheh wait until you get to the blood extraction part. Make some extravagant entry music while holding the needle.

Ha! I'd hum Wagner constantly.

You're sm*rt.
I do picture you getting your doctorate (in what exactly, Im not sure) but at least with med-school you'd have a semi-legitimate excuse to wear a lab coat, and have bad handwriting.

TY!
I'm actually aiming for a doctorate in film theory. More with the ripped jeans and sandals than the lab coats, though there is one prof in my department now who insists on wearing a lab coat. :D

Cool. Aim for those stars.

Anyhow,

I am hoping for your sake, your prof doesnt wear one of those head band with a parabolic mirror. That would be distracting.
