Trills wanted to know: It's a well recorded FACT that Medical students throw the best/most outrageous parties. So can we have a story from your uni days please!
I think the best one was when we didn't take a dead body to the pub with us.
I can't remember whose idea it was (certainly not mine), but I do remember Ian getting the short straw.
When we moved the party from our flat to the pub, Ian was dressed in a hospital gown and painted a pale grey with the help of his girlfriend's make up and some food colouring. He had an arm slung round Will and Alan, and by the time we got through the pub door, they were carrying him.
We parked him at a table, got him a pint, which he didn't touch, and sat with him to watch the match.
He had a toe tag for verisimilitude, but Jamie had decided no one would notice it on his toe (especially since he'd insisted on wearing socks) and had hung it from his ear instead.
We got increasingly concerned looks from everyone in there, customers and staff. They all knew we were med students. Everyone knows what med students get up to with dead bodies.
Eventually someone called the police.
The PC who showed up saw us straight away, came over, started talking to us very seriously about respect for the dead the difference between a prank and a crime, and then Ian tapped him on the shoulder and offered him a pint. I have never seen someone jump so far straight back in one go, before or since.
In conclusion: it's a good thing he had a sense of humour, and in retrospect I'm very glad that wasn't how I met L!

That's amazing!
Tormenting poor PCs? You're mean!
Horribly mean. Would you have arrested us all for looking at you funny and having a corpse offer you a pint?
No, probably just had a nervous breakdown, given up my career, had a huge self-confidence crisis as the whole pub laughed at me and gone to sell flowers in a sleepy market town.
Would not.
If it had been the same night as my Tramp-Rising-From-The-Dead I would have!
That was genuinely scary! Anyway, as I said, I'm glad it wasn't you.
Oh, you evil sods. I'm not giggling at all. Nuh uh.
All medical students are horrible people right up to the moment they become doctors. Fact.
I must've been treated by a lot of medical students then... glad I've found a nice doctor now.
