[I’m releasing this second version with no background sound effects, for our friends who might find such things annoying. –Dave]

Come to our weird, casual get-together.

  • Dave hosts a weird cocktail party for his co-hosts, M1s Fallon Jung and Taryn O’Brian, MD/PhD student Jacqueline Nielson, and M3 Chirayu Shukla.
  • The group dives into a variety of topics: surreal dreams, spring break plans, which celebrity they would replace one of their organs with, book recommendations, personal stories, and AI-generated songs about Menards and Chirayu’s curtailed tennis career.

AI song lyrics

A Podcaster at Heart

I’m an administrative services coordinator
But my heart’s on the mic,
a podcast connoisseurIn a cubicle,
with paperwork piled high
But all I wanna do is let my voice fly

I got responsibilities, emails to send
But my mind’s on the episodes I haven’t penned
I sneak in headphones, catchin’ up on my faves
Dreamin’ ’bout the day I’ll be podcastin’ my own ways (ooh-yeah)

[Chorus]I’m a podcaster at heart
Living for those podcastin’ vibes, it’s an art
While spreadsheets stack up,
I’m in my own zone
Dreamin’ ’bout the day when podcastin’ is my throne

The Jig of the Horse Loving Medic

Oh, I’m a medical student, learnin’ day and night
But when I’m not studyin’, I’ve got a different delight
I love horses, they bring me so much joy
And Menards, oh Menards, it’s like a superstore of toys

[Chorus]I take long walks down every aisle at Menards (oh yeah)
From the lumber to the paint, it’s never too hard (woo!)
With a bounce in my step, and a twinkle in my eye (uh-huh)
I’m a horse-loving medic, livin’ life on a high (woo!)

No Regrets

[Verse] We don’t care ’bout the grades, don’t need no A’s
Livin’ fast, we’re in a disobedient phase
Don’t care ’bout the cash or the future ahead
We’re just here for the punk rock, not the life we’re fed (ooh-yeah)

[Chorus] No regrets, we don’t give a damn
Breakin’ all the rules, stickin’ it to the man
No regrets, we live on the edge
Skipping class, punk rock is what we pledge

Medicine or Tennis

In the dead of night,
I’m stuck in time,
Torn between two paths,
My heart’s on the line,

A love for medicine.
The field is my callin’
but the court’s my passion.

What the first semester of medical school is actually like

  • Short Coat co-hosts Brian Young (M1), Jeff Goddard (M2), and Fallon Jung (M1) discussed the challenges and experiences of medical school, including personal anecdotes about coping with stress, the demands of the curriculum, maintaining emotional well-being, the significance of peer support, and the importance of learning from both academic and personal experiences.
  • Brian talked about a student-led initiative, Nets for Nets, aimed at providing mosquito nets to a community in Southern Mexico, illustrating the blend of medical education with social responsibility.
  • Also, Dave shows his co-hosts pairs of images he got an AI to make, and his co-hosts try to work out which is the most like their actual medical school experiences thus far.

How should Thomas choose between his great career options?

We’ve all been there: faced with some good options, which one do we choose? Listener Thomas wrote in with his dilemma: he studied and loves engineering, but what about medicine? M1s Jacqueline Nielson, Fallon Jung, and Sri Nandakumar discuss what they studied as undergrads, what made them realize that medicine is the right path, and how to become certain about that. Also, women surgeons are better than male surgeons, according to yet another study, and a supermarket’s chatbot recommends meals for busy people, like delicious chlorine gas.

How will schools assemble student bodies that reflect society?

  • The Supreme Court has struck down the use of race-conscious admissions practices–affirmative action–that many colleges use to counteract bias against admitting people of color. Short Coats Hend (M2), Nicole (M3), Faith (MD/PhD) and AJ (M4) discuss why that’s a problem for patients, and what might happen now that AdComms are forced to use proxies to diversify their classes.
  • Harvard continues it’s run of bad legal luck with the news that its morgue manager has been selling body parts. And chatbots are helping docs talk to their patients with more empathy.
  • Dave subjects his co-hosts to another concoction of food items.
