Ditch Doc

First year Dalhousie Med student on the difficulty of failing out of med school: “Yeah, they say this profession is like the mob: It’s a bitch to get in, but once you’re in you can never leave.”

A few months ago, I was on an air-vac with a dear friend, a nurse, when she noticed me turning my Rosary ring. She thought it was good that I prayed, but admitted she didn’t get it. The other day though, I was walking past the nursing station when she called out: ”Hey, I heard you got a couple of interviews! I’ll start praying for you.” Before I could answer, a devout Sikh nurse drawing up a medication looked up with a big smile and announced “I already prayed!”
