Medical School Quotes I

These are actual quotes that I heard first-hand last semester.  I thought
it might be humorous for you to hear a glimpse of the future (and teachers)
of medicine.


"The way I see it, I don't know anything."  -med. student

"It's a powerful thing, vomiting."  -med. student

"I sound like I know what I'm talking about, but I don't."
     - pharmacology professor

"If I was a woman ...."  -female med. student

"There are no wrong answers."  -oncology professor

"I wouldn't mind an open book test."  -med. student

"I have a feeling that if you know this tomorrow [during the exam]
you'll be 8 points smarter than you are right now."  -hematology professor

"I really do think, though, that people who think they're normal have
really big problems."  -med. student

"You've got to see our compost pile.  It's amazing, man."  -med. student

And one oldie but goody (which I did not hear first hand!):
    "A finger in the mouth and a finger in the rectum makes a good physician."
       - Sir William Osler (famous 19th century physician)
