"Course"ist

You know, I came across a notice in IMU yesterday. It's something to do with renting out a room or unit. And apparently, there were some spelling mistake on it.
The word "shelter" was spelt as "shelther".
Someone circle it up. And it was very kind of her/him to do that. But at the upper corner of the parper, he/she wrote:"Shelter you also don't know how to spell? Are you in Medic or Pharmacy?"
And what on earth did that "English teacher" mean?
I came across a lot of Medic students who again and again insult students who are studying pharmacy. They keep saying that they are the best, and ya, indirectly. Making you feel like "Duh......"
Words like
"Medic students are not only rich, they are clever as well"
"You should finish reading all your notes 3 days before your exam"
"Go back to Monash. Lame"
"I've told you!!!!!!!!!!! Nah!!!!! (Pointing out both of his middle fingers)"
and also the one I've just wrote above.
I really don't understand why some people are so arrogant and think that they are the best. I thought we, students of healthcare studies are supposed to work together for the community. Only when I came to IMU that I found out that's not the way things are done here.
One of my lecturer once told me that once he took a few pharmacy students to the ward in a hospital. Then a doctor asked :"Why are the pharmacist students doing here?" in a sarcastic way.
The lecturer, who is a phamarcist himself, was not really happy by what the doctor said. He in turn replied:"Knowledge about all the disease are equally important among doctors and pharmcists. If a pharmacist do not aqquire enough knowledge about a certain disease, what happens if a patients ask him/her for advice? What happens if the patient is in critical condition already and the pharmacist do not even what are the signs of it? The job of pharmacists is not only dispensing medication."
And the doctor just nodded.
I know that they are also medic students who are very humble and kind. But those who aren't just make you wonder, who taught him to think in that way?

Sometimes people need more time to really learn about life.
They are students of life like you and I.
If these people do not exist, how then will we know if the others are good ones?
At the end of the day, nobody's perfect.

I support Pharmacist and Pharmacy student! Doctor can judge what disease that the patient is suffering from yet they can provide them the medicine! Doctor? What a big deal? If he/she is a very professional doctor but with such s**ks attitude! Dude! I'd rather die~
