Intra-class dating, known colloquially as ‘incest’ is rampant in medical school. Reasons for dating within one’s own ranks are diverse, including time constraints, difficulty reaching outside of established social circles, and wanting to share common points of interest with significant others. However, we would be remiss to ignore a huge driving force behind our attraction to fellow med students, which is our own narcissism; dating a med student is as close to fucking your own reflection as you can ever hope to get.
The zenith of med school incest is of course marrying a doctor, a dream perhaps as old our desire to become doctors at all. Male doctors who lack the foresight and wherewithal to marry a female doctor will often settle for a nurse, but only if she acknowledges that she is inferior to you in every measurable way. Female doctors die barren and alone before wedding so far below their station.
