So I guess you're wondering why I'm such a hot mess.
As it turns out, today is sort of a big day.
Why do you ask?
Despite my scattered appearance in this moment,
I'm actually on my way to my CaRMS Interview.
But the real question is, how did I even get here?
You mean how did we get here?
Oh right. You're here too.
Very funny. Let's just start from the beginning.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa David wait.
What?
David stop!
Too far back David. That's too far back.
Oh, sorry.
Do you remember interview day?
Nah, not really.
Do you?
Today's the day David.
Today's the day.
You're a monster.
You're an animal.
They haven't seen anything like you before.
You're capital P.
Perfect.
And this tie?
This tie says it all.
It says it all.
There we go.
No, no, no, no, no this tie is all wrong.
What are you doing with this tie?
I'm never wearing this thing again.
Dude, how many ties did you go through?
Only a couple. Like one, or two?
Guess this is it.
You're gonna crush it today.
All right.
Today let's float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.
Okay David we get it.
Can we move on to the actual interview?
Yeah, fine.
Do you remember what was going through your head?
All these other interviewers are smiling and happy.
They're trying to throw me off my game.
No way. I'm not gonna lose my cool.
I've got my game face on.
That's right. You can't fool me.
Oh hey. Look at this guy.
Tall.
Buff.
That hair, that suit, that shirt.
Those shoes!
This guy looks like he's got it all together.
My god he's getting in for sure.
He's probably got a 4.0 GPA.
528 MCAT.
And an amazing ABS.
Crap!
He's looking at me.
Who does this guy think he is anyway?
I look alright.
It's not all about...
Oh! I'm sorry. I'm such a klutz!
That's alright, don't worry about it.
Yeah right, you better be sorry you-
My name is Rachel.
I'm David. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Are you interviewing today as well?
Yeah, I'm at 10:18 exactly.
Oh cool.
Alright, everyone interviewing for Queen's Medicine.
Those interviewing at 10:18, please follow me.
Well I guess that's us!
Catch you on the flip side!
Yeah, good luck.
Thanks!
Please enter the room.
Do you feel nervous?
Yes.
Good.
We're gonna sting you like the bees on your tie.
What is the reason you are here?
I...
Do you even deserve to be here?
Did you read Doing Right?
Ummmm
Uh
Ok you're obviously exaggerating.
I am absolutely not.
How did yours go?
Can I offer you tea, hot chocolate, coffee?
Oh sure I'll take a tea
with two lumps of sugar and milk please.
All right. Coming right up!
So, if you were a color what color, would you be?
Oh! That's a tough one.
I'm going to have to go with yellow.
Actually no, red.
Oh actually, scratch that.
Blue. Definitely blue.
So you mean, tricolour?
Exactly!
Oh! good answer!
Did you actually volunteer 430 hours?
Well... I....
I think you volunteered 427 hours.
Yeah, more like 425.
Yeah you don't look like the kind to do 430.
So....
How many letters are there in the word "doctor"?
Take your time, I know this is a tough one.
Okay, so that's D-O-C-T-O-R.
That's six!
Yeah!
Great answer!
Well, this kid thinks he's getting into medical school....
Hahahahaha
So...
We're going to need a stress test,
complete blood count,
urine sample,
stool sample,
your grade six report card,
and a note from your mother.
Today,
by midnight.
Got it?
Okay stop.
You're exaggerating way too much.
Yeah, and they really gave you tea and cookies
and a trophy?
So you're trying to say
that everyone's interview experiences are gonna be so different and that one's
perception of how their interview went may not be reflective of the real
interview performance?
I guess.
We both still got accepted.
Yup
Oh yeah.
You know, speaking of getting accepted,
my finger was literally glued to that refresh button!
Come on....
Refresh....
Refresh...
Oh, I didn't get in.
I didn't get in.
No, no, no, no. There's no way.
I killed that interview.
Refresh, refresh.
I'm a solid....
....maybe.
Aha...
I got into Queen's!!
Nice!
Here!
Here, Sarah!
I got it!
Oh wait, guys!
NICE!
What is it?
What's up?
I got into Qmed!!
That was honestly the best day ever. I know! The park was really fun!
I...actually meant getting into Medical School
Well...yeah, that too.
Why were you wearing your winter jacket anyway?
Umm...it was cold in May, okay?
Yea, I'm sure it has nothing to do with us having to film this video in late
November weather when it's minus 20 degrees outside.
What? What?
Oh hey! Hey!
You're Rachel, right?
Yea! And it's...Daniel?
David.
Oh sorry! I always do that. That's okay.
Ready to meet the rest of our class?
Yeah, let's do it! Let's do it!
Let's get down to business, to become MDs.
All you naive premeds, with your fresh degrees.
Not the smartest bunch we've ever met,
but you can bet before we're through,
rookies we'll make MDs out of you.
Trying to find your purpose,
pretty soon you'll know.
Once you light your candles,
and recite the oath.
An ambitious, fresh, determined lot,
still you haven't got a clue.
Somehow we'll make MDs out of you.
This thing is never going to float.
How did they get so much duct tape?!
It's all about the teamwork, you don't have to win.
So we're all getting in this boat?
Hope we didn't pick the wrong shape.
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim.
Be MDs!
We must be skillful communicators.
Be MDs!
And be efficient collaborators!
Be MDs!
We're all still learning the other CanMEDS,
mysterious as the quest to get MDs
Orientation week was a blast!
It really was!
And the next four years kind of just flew by.
Come on, come on. Put your stethoscopes on.
It's Wednesday night and it won't be long.
Gotta get my badge, put my white coat on.
Prepped all week, now it won't be long.
Til I try to palpate, try to auscultate.
I'm percussing now.
He ain't got chills. Sir does he take pills
Sir put on your gown
Just you and me
Maybe I don't need any notes for this history
We love Clin skills!
Maybe I know I can put an end to this mystery
We love Clin' Skills!
Peer feedback is all I need
More than cartilage, more than bone
Expectations to succeed
Got to maintain professional tone
Physical from head to feet
More than cartilage, more than bone
As long as I can hear the beat
Got to maintain professional tone
Me and you doc
You and me
Head to CTC and make me see your energy because'
Me no play no hide and seek
Put it on me chest and listen carefully for heartbeat
Cause any time I feel it rushing
Ima thinking to myself; is it a palpitation?
Me no sitting in the tripod position
You look like the one who needs to take an inspiration
Clinical skills was always my favourite part of the week
Personally, I always liked dodgeball intramurals
but clinical skills was pretty fun too
I'm not sure I remember there being that much
much singing though
listening to the rhythm of the heart
dancing to the rhythm of the music
it's all about finding that beat
that was so corny!
let's just move on
I've been staring at this page for an hour and I still can remember
never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect doctor
and I'd know all the answers
I won't even have to try
every word I read, every page I turn
every test I take, every slide I learn, every time I yearn to where I cannot go
where I long to be
see the place where the patients they go, it calls me
No one knows
How far I'll go
to be there, to be great, to be free, it calls me
one day I'll know
just read one more page, there's only 57 to go
I know, everybody in the classroom seems to be getting all this histo
everything is looking fine
I can't tell between this epithelium
and this connective tissue
I just need a little more time
I can sit in class, I can do my best
I can pump that cuff, I can work that steth
And the voice inside, it still calls to me
it's where I belong
See the place where the patients all go
it calls me
And no one knows
How far I'll go
to be there, to be great, to be free, it calls me
One day I'll know
what this diagram means
what I'm supposed to be
See the place where the patients they go
It calls me
no one knows
how far I'll go
to be there, to be great, to be free, I see me
One day I'll know
How far I'll go
Wow you know it's really hard to believe how far we've come and how much we've
learned since we first interviewed here at Queens
yeah at the time I had no idea
how far I'd go
now you're the one being cheesy
I prefer the term punny
all right let's move on
The aud isn't the best place
to do my learning, so the lab is where I go
Me and my group at the table love anat
but we're not sure about histo
it's all pink!
Come on over and look at this anatomical model
and just trust me, give it a glance
I put my hand up
but all the tutors are caught up, giving other groups a chance
and I'm singing like
dude you know I need your notes
trying to figure out what all this means
how do I look at this slide
I'm going crazy, don't mind me
Say prof, where's the lingula?
Pick up the left lung
look anteriorly
I love the laboratory
I love anatomy
I'm in love with the shape of you
cause it's the shape of my body too
Push and pull like the muscles do
I'm in love with the body
and last night I was in the lab
Trying to locate the thyroid gland
every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the body
What's that? (x4)
I'm in love with the body
What's that? (x4)
I'm in love with the body
I take back what I said about dodgeball, anatomy lab was my favorite part of the week
hey Rachel, what did the femur say to the patella
um David, bones don't talk!
he said I kneed ya, get it cuz it's the knee joint
you've always had a weird sense of humor
anyway, I'm pretty sure that brings us up to present time
whoa that was a close one
you couldn't have been on time just once
nothing's changed in four years
and you're chronically early so nothing's
changed with you either come on let's go
David and Rachel
