i googled 'bored medical student'...

(as you do) and found the following:

surprisingly topical article written in 1905 about the state of the new breed of medical student

some very academic letters about how medical students learn - the highlight being: 'Assessing the quality of repeated theatre experience is difficult. We suspect that surface learners are uninterested the first time they see an operation, bored the second time, and do not turn up the third; that deep learners compare and contrast first with second and second with third, and that strategic learners ask what is going on in the theatre next door. That, however, is speculation; it is time someone measured these things properly.' (yup, that was the highlight)

medical students and their career preferences - with the enlightening statement (with regard to choices): 'Students differed from college students, the women differed from the men, and the Asian Americans differed from the other groups. ' .
would never have guessed.

Dylan Wilson , a medical student back in 1999, recommends medical students have experience as an inpatient. He relates his experiences...

So, this is medical school . I read this a few years ago, was quite nice to find it again. (Liam Farrell, GP, relating experiences, and giving advice).
