Who the heck is WCLothario?

Lothario: [lo-thar-i-o] (n.) a bipedal male hominid, often found in the wild wearing a short white coat, whose primary medical condition is a chronically engorged... ego, requiring immediate and repeated application of female attention to prevent a catastrophic and explosive... outburst of self-pity; a creature so dedicated to the study of human anatomy (female) and whose idea of a romantic evening involves a bottle of cheap beer and a detailed read through of Pubmed papers on the Erectus Climaxus.

The name "White Coat Lothario" was given to me by particularly unimpressed (and underpaid) organic chemistry TA after I explained that my less-than-stellar performance on the lab exam was a direct result of a rather...ahem...demanding extracurricular schedule.

I considered it a compliment.

After all, if you're going to be accused of something, it might as well be having fun with them girls from Alpha Sigma Sigma sorority.

So, if you're looking for inspirational stories about the "joys of medicine," you're in the wrong place. But if you want an honest, unfiltered, and unapologetically IRL look at what it'll (probably) be like as a medical student, then welcome. Grab a drink (lord knows, I’m having one), settle in, and prepare to witness the glorious train wreck that is gonna be medical education. It's going to be one hell of a ride.
