    Look, I’m a 4th year med student in my 30’s. I know what I’m about. My undergraduate degree is in History and I worked in IT and sysadmin for a couple years before I went back to school to go into medicine.

        I didn’t take it as a negative! Just expressing that you’re right on the mark about my username being quite relevant.

            When explaining why I need to go into Emergency Medicine as a specialty I tell people that I’m a naturally nocturnal basement-dwelling gremlin with weapons-grade ADHD.

            It usually gets a laugh.
