med school causes obesity

Just a hypothesis anyway.

Here goes

my points would be:

• Being a med student is almost equivalent to high levels of stress, inevitably
• Cortisols are stress hormones secreted in response to stress
• which, essentially means that med students have high levels of cortisol

Also,

• we know that elevated cortisols causes Cushing’s syndrome.

Hence,

• So there will be obesity, specifically truncal obesity, due to abnormal, centripetal fat deposition in the body.

lol basically another crap post on a sunday.

But seriously stress hormones are definitely on the high side nowadays. Sessionals coming next monday (23 Aug). AND there are soo many revisions to be done until then. IF there was a study week then still ok la. but noooo.. It’s the final week of medicine posting.. There’s EOP on Tues, Prof Choo’s coming on Wed, Wed afternoon there’s Medicine 2nd Block test, there’s a case sheet due, PLUS the need to revise for sessionals. Gosh even if i get 48 hours a day i think i’ll really have to struggle to finish all these.

=(
