Condoms Are Too Big in India and Tequila as Medication

Okay, in all seriousness, how come most medical schools here in the United States don't teach the students about the healthcare system that we practice in? I mean, really. That's like putting a person off the street in an OR to do a surgery. I can guarantee you that nothing "magical" happens between MS4 and intern year where all of a sudden you learn the system. Seriously.

What is the deal with medical students not having people skills?

What is the deal with Snow and Ice in Texas? I mean, does that make anyone else a little nervous? Stop burning gas and start walking to school.

Has anyone been to a website where you can meet people and donate your kidneys to them?
