What Gives, The Hospital is Not at All Like Scrubs.

By Jennifer Burtrand, Medical Student, Tri-Delta.
     
         Everybody totally knows that being a doctor isn't like ER.  I'm sure, that show is so 1998.  But last week, during my first inpatient rotation, I was totally geeked to find out that my hospital is

nothing like Scrubs either. Whatever! Okay?
              The janitor is totally not zaney. He complety ignored my attempts to make him slip on medical waste.  Then, when he caught me trying to booby trap his supply cart with hypodermic needles he called security instead of chasing me down the hall with his bottle of cleanser and mop.
             Its been almost a week and none of the attending physician's ex-spouses have porpositioned me for sex.  Infact, I havent even done it in the hospital with anyone yet.  That is so totally not like Scrubs. Or college.  I'm sure.
           The patients were super old and didn't wear deoderant.  I would walk in and be like "You're like not going to make it. Okay? I'd let you cry on my shoulder but you smell really heinous right now."  
           The residents are completely lame. Yesterday I was like, "Hey lets steal alot of pudding, form a barber-shop quartet, and then we can have a towel fight in the locker room," and they were like, "What?" So I said "Huh?"  And they were just like "Uh. . .?" So I was all "Whatever!"  Then they just stared at me until the Intern said "Its not enough like scrubs for you is it?"  And I was like "Whatever!" again, "Okay?"
          The only one who was even close to the show, was my attending doctor.  He was EXACTLY like Dr. Cox!  He was all "You're going to be a terrible doctor. Please don't interact with the patients anymore." Totally awesome! I was all, "Thanks for the pep talk Dr. Cox."  So then he was like "I don't know who Dr. Cox is, but if I see you here again I'll have security put you in hand-cuffs."
          Whatever, at least they got one thing right!  I'll totally give it one more chance.  If it doesn't work out, I'll probably just become a drug rep, okay?

                                                                          I'm sure,

                                                                                             Jennifer Burtrand
