DON'T BUY ALL THE BOOKS!


Now that I'm 7/8 of the way done with med school, I'm starting to compile some of my better advice, and hopefully one day can publish it.  Here's an excerpt; not that anyone ever comments, but if anyone has suggestions or requests, let me know!

Like college textbooks, medical texts can be outrageously pricey. Embarrassingly, I was “that person” who purchased every single book on the “required book” list.  I think it was probably around $2000. (Yes, I bought them new from Amazon.)  Sitting in orientation surrounded by people complaining about said booklist and realizing that I was literally the only one who had purchased any books at all, I vowed to pass on the word.
