An invitation to attend a reunion came in the mail. It has been 25 years since graduation from medical school. One would think that classmates or teachers might figure prominently in the memory. But what I remember fondly is studying at the Creighton Law Library (not even the medical school's own library!), a magnificent building with beautiful study tables made of ash and maple, wearing headsets and listening to two music tapes in particular while cramming the Krebs Cycle and Neuroanatomy into any remaining brain space.
It started out with Bob Marley, Easy Skanking, moved to Peter Tosh, Don't Look Back, and finished with Van Morrison, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart. See, I can remember these particular songs from a particular tape, but I can't remember the Krebs Cycle or where the cranial nerves exit the brain. But really, which would you prefer? Easy Skanking vs Biochemistry? Inarticulate Speech vs Neuroanatomy?
