MS2

Med school is about not giving up on things.

Med school is about understanding how much time you have and what is possible to do.
Med school is about scheduling.
Med school is about finding time for things that you care about, like your neglected blog, even when you've got a long to do list.
Med school is about stepping back the week before exams and remembering why you have been sitting for 14 hours straight trying to download this book into your brain.
Med school is about understanding work and your duty to get things done, even when you're exhausted.
Med school is about learning how much we know of the human body, and how much (more) we have to learn.
Med school is about understanding what Oscar Romero meant when he said ""We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way."
