A day in the life of a 2nd year.
Study for hours on end.
Scream as we watch a video of a guy digging around in another man’s asshole demonstrating how to do a rectal exam.
Drink some bourbon.
It’s been a good day.

If the link above is true, then NBC has just decided to cancel “30 Rock”, “Parks and Recreation”, and “Community”.

Clinical Experience

It’s good to get out...
