The following was written in an online student publication of my sch. Pls do not ever think that i wrote it even tho it's here... it's even more annoying than the most whiney of my posts.

The Medicine faculty


So, you think our future doctors are all serious and non-scandalous? You’re clearly mistaken.
The Medicine (Med) faculty has one of the highest rates of intra-faculty couple-hood. This is probably because of the sheer amount of time they spend together, peering over cadavers or mugging in their insanely quiet library - truly an alternative sense of romance. And yes, it helps that many of their events like their annual Dinner and Dance are also sponsored by the SDU (Social Development Unit). It smacks a little bit of inbreeding and given that these people are doctors, they should know that’s not the brightest idea in the world. However, given their tight schedules (with a different timetable each week), it’s a great rarity that anyone even ventures outside the faculty.

Whoever wrote that stuff needs to rid him/herself of such immature and insensitive thinking. Seriously, that paragraph of words strung together is totally uninformative, unimaginative and unoriginal. I believe students of other facs are more interested in reading about a piece of truth, rather than the reproduction of bits of stereotypical labels of med students, peppered with some effort at sarcastic humour in between. (or are they not?) Surely people of other faculties have better things to do than attack medical students in a sch publication? (or do they not?).

I'm pretty sure any non-med person would be annoyed by my intentional insinuations that all non-med pple are shallow and superficial; well, that article was ten times worse.

And just to get the facts straight, I believe that dnd and medicamp are the only events that sdu sponsors. The moron can't even gather accurate information for his article, and he thinks and writes like one. Poor him.

P.S i highly doubt the ability of the author to define the word inbreeding. But of course, that could be yet another clever attempt at humour. And my non-med friends, pls dun be offended :p

Doesn't take a doctor to diagnose a bad case of sour grapes..

haha brenda, you sound very annoyed.

i guess the writer needed some angle which would sound interesting? RA, if you still remember it, used to have an online thing. i remember being told that online articles needed to be shorter, reason probably because people aren't terribly interested in reading essays online.

so the author needed a good interesting angle for a short article. how much could he/she have been bothered to research?
