I wasn't sure of what to make of this when I started reading it. On the whole I enjoyed this work but at times I found the parts about rap somewhat distracting and even irrelevant. I realise that the author said that the "call and respond" element of both helped her to remember medical terms but perhaps I was also thinking of stereotypes of medical students in my part of the world (Ireland). Among all Irish university students (not just medical faculties) there is a joke that one can tell when a medical undergraduate has fallen behind with their studies - they have gone to the lavatory (bathroom)! I'd like to wish Maureen well in her chosen field and if she ever comes to Ireland to work as a doctor I won't have a difficulty being treated by her.
