Laundry is the one constant in a medical student's life. Sure there's studying that's pretty popular. Sleep deprivation is also almost omnipresent. But laundry - it's like the monster that is under the bed. As a non-medical student, you are like a parent trying to convince me there is no monster - but trust me... I've seen it.
Sometimes it appears like a harmless family of mice (until I realize all my socks are dirty). Other times it's a malodorous blob that I have no time to scoop up (until I realize I don't have clean scrubs for gross anatomy lab). It also takes the shape of the serpents from the Caduceus (until I go to put on another pair of jeans, only to realize they have crumbs from meals 2 weeks ago).
Whatever the shape, laundry is a tricky beast. Unless we all begin walking around in the nude, we can only wear dirty laundry so many times before the creases and stench scare away our classmates. While Old Navy, Gap, American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, and other stores may revolt at the idea- perhaps forming nude societies for medical students is the best solution to prevent the constant buildup of laundry.
Or instead of a stethoscope, we should all receive LG's latest all in one washer/dryer (http://www.lgwasherdryer.com/) from a pharmaceutical company upon our acceptance to medical school.
In no way is this meant to be offensive or disrespectful for the sacrifice individuals have made to train the next generation of doctors. Humor is considered a mature defense mechanism and I hope you will be able to find some of it here. Comments are appreciated, please keep them tasteful (no concoctions that even you wouldn't eat).
