woah that is a spicy meme
Even worse if she realizes it. You don't "become a neonatal doctor" in undergrad. Or even medical school.
Did she say she was going to graduate undergrad with a BS in neonatology? No, it is more likely that her overall goal is to be a neonatal doctor, so naturally, enrolling in undergrad would be the first step in that process.
"It's official! I just bought my plane ticket to Tibet to climb Mount Everest! I am excited to see what this new chapter in my life has in store!"
Doesn't seem too far out there to me... She's a bit on the optimistic side, for sure, but it's not THAT much of a dumb statement to make beyond the typical pre-meds wanting to do something super specialized they know nothing about.

Haha you sure about that? if you take a spontaneous trip to climb Mount Everest, you'll literally die on the mountain."It's official! I just bought my plane ticket to Tibet to climb Mount Everest! I am excited to see what this new chapter in my life has in store!"

I think you're reading more into her post than was there. She's not necessarily saying this was a spontaneous decision or assuming it's a piece of cake to get into med school and do everything she needs to do to become a neonatologist. She's excited, she's a pre-med who wants to be a neonatologist. That's all she's saying.
Yeah, I honestly don't care about this enough to argue about it with anybody anymore
You're on a list now, buddy. Tread lightly.Someone who has done any research into the experience most likely wouldn't be saying they are going to become a neonatal doctor when they are just starting college.
The idea of treating kids is sexy and exciting, but the reality is awkward, sad and sphincter tightening.
Don't hate the player, brah.One of my friends went on a few dates with someone who had led her to believe they were a medical student. It took like 5 minutes of conversation with them to realize they were actually a sophomore biology major.
Premeds like to take advantage of how convoluted this process is to the general public in order to make themselves feel important.

What is your favorite pizza topping?Sorry lol, didn't mean it to be! Coming up on dedicated time for Step 1 and the exhaustion is real. My brain is 0% capable of handling anything besides UWorld questions these days (and even that is debatable), including normal human conversation
What is your favorite pizza topping?
A. Inferior mesenteric veins
B. Olives
C. Cirrhosis of the liver
D. Extra cheese
E. More sleep for the love of god
Moving inventory around at the practice I work at:
Female coworker (Finds a box of speculas): What are these for?

Coworker: Oh! They must use it to hold your eye open during exams.
Not a quote, but I did have a nightmare premed lab group member sophomore year. She's an international student and she wrote a total of two sentences the entire semester (which I had to rewrite). She was on her phone most of the time in lab, but would always beg to pipette even though she would do it wrong half the time. I remember once we were divvying up work and I asked her to write a particular section of the assignment and she told me that she couldn't do it because her English wasn't good enough. I completely respect international students and one of my best college friends is also from China, and she was totally appalled when I told her this story. She wants to be a doctor here but doesn't want to write?! My two other group members HATED her. At the end of the semester when we were all writing our individual lab reports, she kept asking all of us separately to send our version of parts of the report to her so she could "compare." Nobody sent her anything, lol, we were all so done.
Lo and behold she has just registered for the MCAT. My roommate had her in a group in another class and experienced similar frustrations. This girl clearly doesn't know how to work with others in a team spirit!
Prompt: "You have to choose which patient to save, how do you go about it?"

Many Chinese people that come here for PhD and masters are very smart and competent. They tell me that many undergraduate Chinese students are from rich families and are spoiled. It is not a hard rule but it is also what I have noticed.

It is now my dream to see someone try to do this to a patient in an exam roomMoving inventory around at the practice I work at:

You should tell her to remove her heart since that's the #1 killer in America.Not a pre-med but relates to the common MD v.s. DO argument...
Article on MD v.s. DO

Final statement:
"Personally, I do not trust D.O.s or M.D.s.
Doctors mistakes are now the #3 killers of Americans.
Instead, I play my own doctor using these natural remedies for my ills."
How much you want to bet this person is an anti-vaxxor?
Could've been worse..., "I have long finger nails, I can take it out for you!"I just remembered an embarrassing encounter I had with a physician in the ICU during one of my volunteer shifts last year.
I was just walking around the floor when the physician stopped me to ask me to bring him a staple remover. I figured he was working on paperwork so I brought him an office supply staple remover from the nurses station, and he just looked at me with this stare like I was the most idiotic thing he ever saw.
Turns out he needed a surgical staple remover, so he could remove some staples from a patient.....
It was so horrifying, but now I can't help but laugh at myself for how dumb I must have looked to that doctor lol
Don't feel bad...I did something about that dumb when I was in college (many years ago). I worked in a store and a customer asked me where the mineral oil was. Well, the only experience I ever had with mineral oil was when it was suggested I use it to treat a handmade wood cutting board. So naturally I sent the customer to the hardware dept. About 5 minutes later customer comes back to me and says, MINERAL OIL...you know for constipation. I about died of embarrassment and took them to the aisle with the laxatives.I just remembered an embarrassing encounter I had with a physician in the ICU during one of my volunteer shifts last year.

This.....is so scary it's almost not funny....This is why medical school is important

I would have been mad tbh. The doctor shouldn't expect a random premed to know what he is talking about, and should be more specific.I just remembered an embarrassing encounter I had with a physician in the ICU during one of my volunteer shifts last year.
