Med school can be a war. For some students, daily life includes marching on toward a distant dream despite never getting enough sleep, scarfing down crappy food, constantly adjusting to strange new places, quietly tolerating the pecking order, standing for incredible amounts of time, and absorbing the occasional drilling rant from a higher-up.But that shouldn't come as much of a surprise because one could argue that medicine can be a war, too. In the war against disease, your best bet is to be as prepared as possible. Same goes with the war that is med school, which in the final couple of years consists of one battle after another, except they're known to students as rotations or clerkships.What did G.I. Joe tell everyone in those old Saturday morning cartoons? That knowing is half the battle!

You can never really over-prepare in med school or medicine, so turn this book into a tool or weapon in your mental arsenal for winning the wards!
