4. Working Out

Perhaps the most direct way to validate one’s narcissism, working out is one of the most cherished activities of the typical medical student. There are few better ways for a med student to inflate his self worth than to stand in a public area surrounded by mirrors, flexing his grotesquely blown up muscles while reading a thick medical textbook. Improving one’s output at the benchpress also gives the medical student a quantifiable and standardised measure with which to diminish fellow med and non-med students alike.

Working out is not limited to men, as female med students often take this opportunity to burn off the 50 Calories they consumed for supper. The perfect svelte figure is a must-have for female med students who wear heavy makeup and designer dresses to lecture on a regular basis.
