Medical School Question 1

• For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can
  suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They
  can't talk and they can't write, but they can
  read silently and understand the text. Many cats
  love this new skill, because they now have
  something to do all day while they lay around the
  house however, a few cats become depressed,
  because reading forces them to realize the
  limitations of their existence (not to mention
  the utter frustration of being unable to express
  themselves).
• This being the case, do you think the average cat
  would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this
  cartoon to be an insulting caricature?

15
History of AED

• On April 28, 1926, fifteen premedical students
  at the University of Alabama met with Dr. Jack
  Montgomery, their premedical advisor and
  professor of organic chemistry, to formalize the
  organization of a new premedical honor society.
  Baylor University, Samford University, The
  University of Texas, and the University of South
  Carolina established chapters in 1928-29. At the
  first national convention at the University of
  Alabama on April 18, 1930, ten members
  representing five chapters and one petitioning
  group were in attendance. From these modest
  beginnings, Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED) has today
  become the world's largest Honor Society
  exclusively serving premedical education, with a
  membership exceeding 144,000 in 186 chapters.

Medical School Question 2

• Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of
  your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a
  bizarre existential problem This friend is going
  to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can)
  in the rib cage. If you dont kick them while
  they slumber, they will never wake up. However,
  you can never explain this to your friend if you
  later inform them that you did this to save their
  life, they will also die from that. So you have
  to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you
  cant tell them why.
• Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what
  excuse will you fabricate to explain this
  (seemingly inexplicable) attack?
