My mom worked 22 hours straight yesterday (she's a nurse)... this started me thinking about my need to get to bed by 11:00 pm and eat regular meals. What it really makes me wonder is... why am I on the path to becoming a doctor

I guess it's a trade off, long hours and giving up your regular sleeping and eating, but gaining a job that you actually like and helping people and money. Although, as far as the money goes, I've heard you don't actually make that much - especially when it takes you half your life to pay off your loans. But maybe :) But any career path is going to be a trade off; there are going to be things you like and things you don't.

Wait...it blocks the receptors, so sugar and alcohol and caffiene don't affect you? ...wouldn't that make it revolutionary in terms of addiction treatment? And if that's how it works, can I get about a pound of it??

Money wise - if you're smart you're going to have everything you need. After medical school since it *is* hella expensive I was thinking about going into a few programs who will pay off your medical expenses for you with a year to year ratio. They tend to send you to go work in some impoverished area or a Native American reservation, etc.

no no, I think alcohol and caffeine still affect you... but because it blocks your sugar receptors they just taste like absolute shit. The gum is hugely advocated as a dieting supplement because if you can't taste sugar then you don't want to eat it.

I was thinking about buying a pack and pranking people with it so if you'd like to try a piece then I'd totally bring some home sometime.
