It doesn't help that the whole curriculum was designed by a coke snorting hyper-workaholic.
The whole idea of 12 hour shifts for any critical function, let alone medical personnel, of all people, is batshit insane. The idea of people working off of no sleep and total exhaustion where the slightest mistake kills someone...?? And what "work-life balance?" Seems like medical folks aren't allowed to have that.
Years ago I was trying to get into med school. But I didn't think I could so I stopped trying at the end and pursued a different route. One of the reasons I didn't go was I was afraid I would kill myself if I went. In the back of my mind I've always been a bit disappointed with myself that I didn't try hard enough to get in, but this sort of cements my reasoning for not going.
So many other things can become alcohol. Not sure if they're saying a boring potato can be more because potatoes are amazing. They can be chips, fries, mashed, jacket, Mr, dauphinoise/scalloped/gratin, latke, boiled! It's so versatile!

Also we have a shortage because congress can’t get its ass off the coke and increase the med school pipeline which diameter is set by law

I've got some bad news concerning what happened to the potato to get it to become vodka. Hint: it wasn't pretty

I thought the same thing, turns out all i can do is become burnt out.

Vodka may be one of the worst things for a potato to become. Fries? Mashed with gravy? Poutine? Chips/crisps? Come on.

Mashed potatoes > toxic solvents imo.

Anyone with a decent memory, lots of money, and the ability to work for free for several years can become a doctor.

Corn can be vodka as well

if a potato can become vodka then I can distill my own alcohol, unless of course the government finds out

You can also be a doctor! Unless of course the government finds out
