Clinical School: hurry up and wait

Being a clinical med student is a lot like being a duckling. You spend a lot of time following someone bigger than you, hoping they'll teach you things like eating bread or whether all those numbers mean a patient's dying or not. Sometimes they do lead you to good things, but they're nearly as likely to lead you to certain doom. Also, like ducks, you know nothing about medicine. And you're cute and fluffy and bad at metaphors.
