From One Frying Pan To The Next

Apprehension built up from classes ahead of us had convinced us that pharmacology would be the next great test of our abilities to incorporate and ultimately retain a massive amount of material. The previous student were correct, there was a large amount of material to retain, but the mountain was not quite as tall as they had made it sound. I walked away with an "A" without feeling very tested. Do I remember every detail of every drug, no. But I walk away with a huge interest, which will compel me dig deeper in an attempt to know more than the average medic. Really, do any of us actually say "I just want to sneak by, hoping to avoid the ton of trouble created by not properly caring for our patients. No we want to be the smartest kid in the room of smart kids. We are too damn proud to just be "in" the room of smart kids. Which is of course the bane of every medics existence. We believe deeply that knowledge is power. Our pharmacology section is completed, the road work has been laid. From here on out it's our job to finish on our own.

We start our airway section on Monday. We've been given a large reading assignment to complete over the weekend. Adding a little flavor as we sizzle in our new frying pan.
