Specializes in Intensive medical care.

- You were once upset with a grade of 78, now that's what you're hoping for

- You check, recheck, and call other classmates to confirm that you did not miss a due date for an assignment

- The sight or smell of poop doesn't make you flinch that much any more

- Really gross/morbid stuff gets you slightly excited

(Last week someone was talking about congestive heart failure and I started going through all the facts in my head and comparing the symptoms explained to my facts... ahhh!)
