On a light (and hilarious, if I do say so myself) note, here is a little ukulele song I wrote and performed on the last day of medical school for my narrative medicine class (yes, I took a class called narrative medicine, and yes, it counted for rotation credit… godless 4th year). I tried to capture the pain, suffering, and general ridiculousness of the medical school experience. I learned ukulele only a few days before writing the song but had a couple more weeks to practice before I recorded this. Enjoy.
