futuredoc Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm curious to know, do you think anyone has ever gotten high before they went to the interview so that they could make more creative answers? I'm not planning on doing this but wouldn't it be kind of funny to hear if someone had actually done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Would be funny as a med school skit idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogopogo Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have it from a reliable source that a person smoked marijuana in an attempt to "cool their nerves" before a panel interview at an unnamed school. Needless to say, there was a DOCTOR on the panel, and it was evident to the group that the interviewee was inebriated. No offer of acceptance was extended. Based on my source, I believe that this was a true event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lactic Folly Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 In real life, that's more sad than funny. Nerves are better cooled through extensive preparation, and creativity isn't the main thing that medical school interviews assess for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 it was evident to the group that the interviewee was inebriated. I bet he would have done better in the interview had he not kept saying "Dude, do you have any Doritos?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vip_138 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I wonder if anyone has ever taken beta-blockers before an interview to calm themselves down like athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I bet he would have done better in the interview had he not kept saying "Dude, do you have any Doritos?" You know, I rarely laugh out loud at something I read but did it for me. No, I'm not stoned but I do have Doritos. I also know someone who'd gone on a bender the night before his, was still drunk during his interview, and got in. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't dropped him off there myself.

crush Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I wonder if anyone has ever taken beta-blockers before an interview to calm themselves down like athletes i'm pretty sure this has happened in the past, the profs seem to like boasting that they prescribe beta blockers to many a medical student. I do know someone who got botox injections to control hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) for interviews to help with nervousness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
