the life of a medical student

When pimped on percentage questions, one must confidently choose one of the following percentages: 1%, 5%, 10%, or 20%. I assure you that almost everything in medicine is one of those percentages. If you need to increase your chances, combine the percentages in ranges: 1-5%, 5-10%, 10-20%. Remember there must be an oddball reason why they are pimping you, and therefore go against your gut instincts.

Today I was pimped on some insanely long description of a percentage question, and I honestly had no clue, but I confidently said “20%” and the answer was 15-20%. It’s amazing how easily people are impressed with your luck. =P
