One Way to Simmer Your Brain in Motivation

     I find that when I watch medical dramas such as "House" or reality medical documentaries such as "Boston Med" and "Hopkins" I get rather gung-ho about going to medical school. This surge in motivation usually takes physical form in either spending extra time studying, going to the gym, and chanting "M.D." repeatedly with my shirt off and face painted, not unlike the manner in which football enthusiasts carry themselves at events such as the Super Bowl or Rose Bowl.

If you are like me and enjoy feeling gratuitously pumped up about medicine you can watch full episodes by clicking on the following link:    Boston Med Full Episodes

Besides being motivating, the ABC series is actually quite poignant as it documents the work and personal lives of a diverse group of physicians and their professional as well as personal triumphs and travails.  Though unavoidably dramatized I feel that the show provides a superb and nitty-gritty view into the life of a clinician. To tell you the truth, I personally prefer that the show is action-packed and compelling.
 
I certainly hope you enjoy watching the show. If you want to discuss anything about the show with me, you are more than welcome to email me at: premedberkeley@gmail.com
