A Med School “cocktail” party

[This episode has some background sound, which maybe some listeners find annoying. Look for the second version, which has none of that. –Dave] Come to our weird, casual get-together. Dave hosts a weird cocktail party for his co-hosts, M1s Fallon Jung and Taryn O’Brian, MD/PhD student Jacquelyn Nielson, and M3 Chirayu Shukla. The group dives into a variety of topics: surreal dreams, spring break plans, which celebrity they would replace one of their organs with, book recommendations, personal stories, and AI-generated songs about Menards and Chirayu’s curtailed tennis career. AI song lyrics A Podcaster at Heart I’m an administrative services coordinatorBut my heart’s on the mic, a podcast connoisseurIn a cubicle, with paperwork piled highBut all I wanna do is let my voice flyI got responsibilities, emails to sendBut my mind’s on the episodes I haven’t pennedI sneak in headphones, catchin’ up on my favesDreamin’ ’bout the day I’ll be podcastin’ my own ways (ooh-yeah)[Chorus]I’m a podcaster at heartLiving for those podcastin’ vibes, it’s an artWhile spreadsheets stack up, I’m in my own zoneDreamin’ ’bout the day when podcastin’ is my throne The Jig of the Horse Loving Medic Oh, I’m a medical student, learnin’ day and nightBut when I’m not studyin’, I’ve got a different delightI love horses, they bring me so much joyAnd Menards, oh Menards, it’s like a superstore of toys[Chorus]I take long walks down every aisle at Menards (oh yeah)From the lumber to the paint, it’s never too hard (woo!)With a bounce in my step, and a twinkle in my eye (uh-huh)I’m a horse-loving medic, livin’ life on a high (woo!) No Regrets [Verse] We don’t care ’bout the grades, don’t need no A’s Livin’ fast, we’re in a disobedient phase Don’t care ’bout the cash or the future ahead We’re just here for the punk rock, not the life we’re fed (ooh-yeah) [Chorus] No regrets, we don’t give a damn Breakin’ all the rules, stickin’ it to the man No regrets, we live on the edge Skipping class, punk rock is what we pledge Medicine or Tennis In the dead of night, I’m stuck in time, Torn between two paths, My heart’s on the line, A love for medicine. The field is my callin’ but the court’s my passion.
