Today, my son called me from medical school, asking for a new phone. Why? Because he dropped it in the toilet. How? Trying to take a video of his anus while taking a dump. I pay $80,000 a year just to hear he took a dump on his phone. FML

Well, his education and your money are both going down the drain. Among other things...

if that was a class project i'm pretty sure the school would have a lawsuit on their hands...

Not that he's going to want it after that, but a rice bowl can possibly fix it.

Can't he get a part time job and at least pay for his own phone, food, etc? Let him fend for himself he is in college after all.

No, he's in medical school. Trust me, there's no time for a job in medical school.

I agree, part of being an adult is taking care of yourself. At times that might mean getting your own phone instead of crying to mommy when something like this happens. And doc, if the need is bad enough it is possible to make time for a job.

65: There is not always time for a job, even in normal university. It just depends on how many classes you are taking, and their difficulty/homework load.

Still I assume he has a budget to take care of his daily needs. He should be paying for his own stuff out of that budget even if his parents give him that budget. How will he learn financial responsibility if you just give him everything?

Abby - no. Just, no. There is no time in medical school. This isn't university where you can arrange your classes to fit your schedule. Med school is regimented and structured, and there is no time.

Yet he has time to film himself ******** (most likely while drunk), doc? Because nobody smart enough to be in med school would film themselves ******** while sober. So if he has time to get drunk, why not any time for a job?

Who says he was drunk? Maybe he thought it would somehow help his education, or maybe he's just a goofy guy and thought it would be funny. You don't have to be drunk to do dumb shit.

the only time you have in medical school is to cry. no time other than that.
