Stress
We're in our stress lecture of our 'how to be a doctor' lecture. Adding up the applicable line items on the Social Readjustment Scale, the lecturer estimated all of us have a minimum of 280 points, where less than 149 is low, 150 to 200 is mild, 200 to 300 is moderate, and over 300 is high. Personally, I don't feel highly stressed out, maybe because I don't get very excited to begin with, but I really think it's a matter of context. Compared to being underway on a Navy ship, with my wife and kids alone in a strange city, it's just not that bad, but, according to the scale I'm over 350.
