lost__in__space Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah. If it came with an unlimited pass for Taco Bell, people wouldn't like them as much. I would hoard all the passes for myself!!! (and taco bell adoring family and friends) I personally won't be using the backpack....I like the bookbag I have already. And the less people who know I'm a physician the better.....I'm already getting unsolicited "does this mole look okay" "or this drug is making me feel funny" when I haven't even started yet... even from random people who only know of me at the hospital I work at. I'm not a big fan of people who show off that they are in meds 24/7 i.e. constantly wearing meds clothing / backpack / wears their lab coats outside with steth. Its cool that we are in meds but it doesn't define who I am every day...I mean yes I'm proud of my career and proud that I got into medical school as it took a lot of effort, but I don't need to flaunt it. I only need to flaunt my Taco Bell chalupa to make others jealous (yes I love Taco Bell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know they existed until after I got in. So I don't really feel like I'm flaunting, just like I'm part of something. But then, I tend to enjoy conformity in some contexts.

For me it was just good timing - my UG bag fell apart and hey here is a new pretty solidly put together bag. Nice bonus. of course I was from Waterloo where there was no medical school. I never heard of these bags before I got here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellorie Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I know! Some of the UWO 2012s have the world's cleanest backpacks. Way cleaner than mine which is a mess from months of biking in the rain without a mud guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are that serious about the bag (of course the particular person in question may just be really neat instead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. It's just a bag bro (and a pretty nice FREE bag at that). If people are going to be pissy about you rockin the bag, then let them cry about it. I hope you don't really think that using an MDFinancial bag 'defines who you are'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for some people it does "define who they are" i.e. it is a piece of swag that they can immediately be identified as "the chosen medical student"... I know a few medical students at Western who would rather die than be without their backpacks to flaunt in Nat Sci to all the admiring premeds there....
