Things that surprised me

Medical students can be just as difficult as unruly adolescents when it comes to learning.

Emergency Medicine is a specialized field. Physicians are trained and gain their MD’s as general doctor but then specialize into certain fields.

We all know emergency physicians save lives, I was surprised to learn just how often they actually do. One night: 3 back-to-back heart attacks, internal bleeding,

hand caught in a lawn mower, etc.
