What weird quirks stuck with you after med school?

Not really a quirk, but more like an occupational hazard. I'm obsessed with handwashing. My family teases me for constantly "scrubbing up" at home, in restaurants, in stores, etc. Not that having clean hands isn't a good thing, but I realize I'm doing it excessively. What about you, OP?

I agree with this one. My hands get so dry because of the excessive washing. I don't mind it though.

It didn't stick with me (thank god) but I had med students syndrome pretty bad for like 5 weeks during my second year. I had horrible nightmares and daydreams every night. To be fair it could have been the sleep deprivation too but all around not a great experience.

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.
