Real Med Students of Genius: For the MacGyvers of Medschool!

An interesting documentary about the big decision and its most influential factors. Thanks Joshua!

Yes, let’s give a big shout out to L-O-V-E. Today is the day to break out the Barry White and champagne (or Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider if your under age), and snuggle up with that special someone. If you are working on finding that special someone, today’s the day to log into Tiromed and target that cute member you have in your favorites folder. Go ahead, ask them to be your Valentine . . . why not? You both are interested in the same highly arcane research topic. Oh, and we checked with senior management here at Tiromed, and it’s okay for “colleagues” to engage in amorous play, so no need to worry about that.

Happy V-Day!

love,

barry and team tiromed.

“The Anonymous Medical Student” is a blog kept by an anonymous medical student somewhere in the world. In terms of blog-life, it is still a baby in age, but is growing fast in the community of blog readers; it received just about 2000 hits in its first month of life! It’s a great blog that offers a potpourri of information, from the personal thoughts of the writer, to interesting website links, to weird and current medical news available from a plethora of different news sites!

TM: What is blogging and why do you blog? What is the future of blogging, in particular, in the medical community?

ANONYMOUS: A blog is essentially an ongoing narrative or monologue. It’s a forum for personal expression, free-writing, art exhibiting, or really whatever the “blog-owner” decides should exist on it. I decided my blog would include my internal monologue, med school videos, random medical news stories, and sometimes my own writings of poetry and the otherwise.

I blog because I like to share what is going on inside of my head. I blog anonymously because it makes things more fun for the readers, for they don’t know where I am, what school I go to, whether I am male or female, what color my hair is, or whether I am right handed or left handed. By being anonymous, it allows the reader to interpret and guess.

TM: Why do you prefer to remain anonymous as a blogger? What precautions do you take, if any, off the web? Do you worry about identity “exposure’? Why?

ANONYMOUS: To be honest, I don’t take enough precautions. I tell some of the same stories I tell on my blog to people at school, but, luckily, only two friends who have sworn to secrecy are the only people at my school who read my blog. Other students at my school don’t read my blog yet because I don’t want them too. You see, I have developed a strategy and formula for how I want to introduce my blog to the people. The formula is a cross between guerilla marketing and P=MD.

TM: Who is your ideal reader, and what are you looking for from them?

ANONYMOUS: My ideal reader is alive. That’s it. He/She/It doesn’t necessarily need to be associated with the medical profession because my blog is very easy to relate to and very easy to read. I like to say that my blog is “for the people”.

TM: What specialty or career paths are you pursuing in medicine? Why have you chosen them? Does blogging have any impact in your decision? Do you think you will continue blogging throughout your professional life?

ANONYMOUS: I can’t really say what career paths I am looking into for two reasons. 1) If I told you, it wouldn’t make me as anonymous as I am and 2) I don’t have the slightest clue. What I can tell you is that I am taking a hiatus from medical school at some point because I have many interests that I want to pursue outside of medicine. I am and will always be a student of life.

In regards to blogging, I would like to blog forever ever ever. I may not be able to always be anonymous though. Depending on where this blog takes me, I may need to divulge my identity if I ever want to reach celebrity status, you know?

TM: How do you find the time to keep a blog? Are you disciplined about it? If readership were to increase would there be pressure to write more?

ANONYMOUS: Like everything in life, you can do what you make time to do. Do all medical students study all day, every day? No. Everyone has their own hobbies and interests whilst they are in medical school. Blogging happens to be one of mine. I take aside 1 hour per day to read the news, write my blog, and get psyched.

TM: What is your number one favorite blog and why?

ANONYMOUS: I’m not gonna lie, I am my own #1 fan. Is that wrong or right? I read once that you need to be able to love yourself before you can love someone else. I live by that, which is why theanonymousmedicalstudent.blogspot.com is my favorite blog!

TM: Would you like to say anything else about your blog?

ANONYMOUS: If you haven’t read it yet, please read it at least once. If you have read it, keep reading. If you have comments, good, bad, or terrible, please make them, for it will help me cater to the people……my people.
