It absolutely makes me sick sometimes. There is so much posing, showing off, attempts to out do the other guy. There's absolutely no chance that a young, anal retentive 20 something who's been in competition his/her whole pre-med and medical school career can turn it off. Worse, it continues to create some of the most self-serving, judgmental, non-team playing individuals I have ever seen. It's nauseating, and worse, it's counterproductive to effective patient care.
Back to studying. I'm sure I'll get pimped about some useless topic on rounds.
Oh hell, I'll just let the overachiever answer it.
