Happy Thanksgiving! Let’s take a moment as medical students to appreciate the little (and big!) things that make us grateful this Thanksgiving.
- The white coat
- Scrub pants that fit
- Good study playlists
- Podcasting at 1.7x speed
- Pass/Fail grading systems
- Not being pre-med anymore
- Extra coffee left over after morning class
- Free lunch talks
- Lecturers with a sense of humor
- Lecturers with a passion for teaching
- Lecturers with an accent that we can understand
- Every single “No Financial Disclosures” joke
- The classmate who studied for anatomy and ends up teaching us everything
- The resident that grabs us for a cool procedure
- Gorgeous dermatology residents
- When a patient mistakes us for a physician and calls us “Doc”
- Nurses that look out for us in clinic
- Celebrating with classmates the evening after a big exam
- Acetaminophen, for when that evening gets a little too crazy
- Our friends, who keep us sane and endure our nonstop attempts to diagnose them
- Our classmates, who understand the struggle and remind us that we are not alone
- Our families, who continue to support and love us, even when we come back for Thanksgiving break and spend the whole time studying
Wishing you all a safe and satisfying holiday!
