"i got my md"
sung to the tune of "when I'm sixty-four," by the beatles
by sachin d. shah
when I grow wiser, no longer scared,
pass all my exams.
will I ever get to sport a long white coat,
bedside manner, otoscope.
when I'm on call in the ICU,
another month q3.
will I regret why,
will I forget why,
I got my MD.
1st year resident,
but now the bank wants back,
all the cash they lent.
first I will master, the interview,
flesh out HPI.
attempting to be thorough I will spend whole days,
on OPQRSTA's.
starting a family, so far in debt,
light is hard to see.
will I regret why,
will I forget why,
I got my MD.
every year we buy another copy
of the new first aid, for a hefty price.
USMLE.
we passed step 1 & 2,
all that's left is 3.
working the trenches, at my wit's end,
running out of gas.
wondering why I put myself through all this pain,
need more sleep, I'm going insane.
when i'm an intern, scuttin all day,
almost work for free,
will i regret why,
will i forget why,
i got my MD.
