The MySpace/Facebook generation is getting close to graduating medical school.
Boy, are they going to regret how Google’s indexed their names when they start practicing medicine. This is the future of American medicine:
University of Florida researchers found several such items of interest when they trolled the Facebook pages of the school’s medical students.Researchers found shots of future doctors grabbing their breasts and crotches or posing with a dead animal. They also found many photos of students drinking heavily.

On my urology rotation, the residents had a roster of who was coming for residency interviews the next week. They looked up all the girls on MySpace and decided who they thought was hot and who wasn’t.
Regret it? You mean the same way politicians like George Bush or B. Hussein Osama regret doing drugs like cocaine in their youth because it cost them a shot at the White House? Oh wait–
I know quite a few people who did silly stuff when they were in college, but were then, and still are brilliant, sharp individuals, and might I add very successful.
