But first-year medical residents—doctors-in-training who are in their first year out of medical school and working in hospitals—are not afforded that luxury.

Unfortunately she takes more than she receives. Hours are repaid in full whether in class accompanied by a pool of drool in your notebook, or at the computer, where zoning-out encourages such productive behavior as watching videos of monkeys kickboxing. Fortunately, by senior year in college, some of us begin to realize the foolishness of our ways in grand, brilliant, epiphanies. No matter what you tell the nocturnal vixen...
