Rules to Live By
August 3rd, 2004
Filed under: Medicine
When I was a wet-behind-the-ears medical student, a wise intern taught me the Four Rules of Medical School. The genius of these laws is not limited to medical students or residents, but can easily apply to everyday life. I now share these words of wisdom with you:
- Eat when you can
- Sleep when you can
- Pee when you can
- Don’t screw* with the pancreas
*originally this rule contained a more colorful verb. Use your imagination.

It’s too late for me on #4.
I’m diabetic. My pancreas is already, er, “screwed.”
