I am a medical student in the Class of 2016 at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. I spent seven years up and down California developing medical technologies but decided I wanted to see them work first-hand, and now I'm trying to add some length to this white coat.




Is it Better to Trust or to Hope?

Since the start of my third year as a medical student, I have been quite interested in observing how people interact with me now that I am wearing a white coat. To be more specific, I find it amazing that people do not realize that my white coat is so much shorter than everyone else’s. To me, the length of my coat should act as a warning to those around me; I do not know where things are, and I do not know what’s going on most of the time.
