background: house of god

the house of god, an amazing novel by samuel shem, is a classic book describing life in medical school. if you haven't read it, i highly recommend it--particularly if you have any interest in going into medicine.

in the book, shem refers to harvard medical school as "man's best medical school," or "mbms" for short. in hommage to shem's work (and in jest of my own medical school), throughout this blog i will refer to my medical school as "man's worst medical school," or "mwms."

is my school really the worst? only time will tell.... enjoy!
