as you're eating lunch with classmates, you question how you made it into medical school, you claim it was a fluke and three people respond simultaneously with, "what kind."

[ssm82]

you have studied first aid so much that you can recall which pages have stains from spilled coffee, water, and naptime drooling...

 

[Catalyst]

you have flipped through first aid so much that your pages are on the verge of falling out and the spine is about to split in half... I'm starting to get a little worried

You start dreaming up all of the possible uses for prednisone.
OR
You give the cashier at the local gas station a 5-minute lecture on why Dr. Solomon's Noni juice isn't the penultimate treatment for fibromyalgia (and cancer, and lupus and blah blah blah) and that you usually prescribe Amitryptaline for the treatment instead because there is a high incidence of depression with the disease.
