I had the absolute displeasure of taking some classes with med students at a well known university in the US. I’ve got to say medical education in the states is completely fucked, if you have a propensity towards depression or suicidal thoughts medical school will push you further into it. Medical training for docs needs to be completely redone in the states and the fact that the abusive cycle continues because that’s what they did when they were high on coke is giga awful. I knew of 3 people who killed themselves at my schools med school 1 of which was my friend. I can not warn you enough to consider anything else
it’s not just med school… or in the us…
It doesn’t help that the whole curriculum was designed by a coke snorting hyper-workaholic.
The whole idea of 12 hour shifts for any critical function, let alone medical personnel, of all people, is batshit insane. The idea of people working off of no sleep and total exhaustion where the slightest mistake kills someone…?? And what “work-life balance?” Seems like medical folks aren’t allowed to have that.
Also we have a shortage because congress can’t get its ass off the coke and increase the med school pipeline which diameter is set by law
Years ago I was trying to get into med school. But I didn’t think I could so I stopped trying at the end and pursued a different route. One of the reasons I didn’t go was I was afraid I would kill myself if I went. In the back of my mind I’ve always been a bit disappointed with myself that I didn’t try hard enough to get in, but this sort of cements my reasoning for not going.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend.
I’ve got some bad news concerning what happened to the potato to get it to become vodka. Hint: it wasn’t pretty
worth it
reminds me of this

Oh interesting, looks like they have a sister Lemmy community that never took off: N https://www.reddit.com/r/fixedbytheduet/comments/14mz5u0/join_our_sister_community_at_lemmyworld_see_the/

I salute your sacrifice, vodka spuds. o7
with the right amount of (chemical) positivity
and sitting in a cold dark environment while microbes consume you
Vodka may be one of the worst things for a potato to become. Fries? Mashed with gravy? Poutine? Chips/crisps? Come on.
So many other things can become alcohol. Not sure if they’re saying a boring potato can be more because potatoes are amazing. They can be chips, fries, mashed, jacket, Mr, dauphinoise/scalloped/gratin, latke, boiled! It’s so versatile!
I thought the same thing, turns out all i can do is become burnt out.
Mashed potatoes > toxic solvents imo.
Anyone with a decent memory, lots of money, and the ability to work for free for several years can become a doctor.
It’s called sadomasochism and delusions, Soka.
Corn can be vodka as well
if a potato can become vodka then I can distill my own alcohol, unless of course the government finds out
You can also be a doctor! Unless of course the government finds out
