The MS3 Desert

As third year draws to a close (I feel like a broken record, I think I've said this for the past month and I still have 7 weeks left), I'd like to share some funny stories that have been the highlights and memorable moments.  It has been- by far- the toughest year in my life, but luckily our minds were designed to block out traumatic memories and I am left with mostly pleasant memories (though sparse) from this past year.

A pictorial demonstration:

• The last day of my geriatric psych selective when I was doing a mini-mental status exam and the really old guy tried to grab my butt while repeating "no ifs, ands or buts" (the source of the blog title)
• Offering to carry a full 24-hour urine jug to the lab during my OBGYN rotation so I could get off the L&D floor for a bit- taking the long way even though I got a lot of weird looks
• Watching a fellow student practice a rectal exam (on a "professional patient" during a "hands-on" lecture)- even though he had a broken middle finger
• Calling ICE and the department of homeland security on one of my rotations...no, I wasn't trying to deport a patient!

Ok, thought I could think of more but right now I can't (definitely a desert). Will add more if I think of any.
