"Why would someone who has never sung or danced before join Med Show? I’m still asking myself that question as I practice lifting another girl off the floor. When I signed up for Med Show I didn’t know what to expect, I just knew I wanted to get more involved in extracurriculars and spend more time doing something other than studying. However, I knew that I didn’t want a big role, I just wanted to be an extra. I forgot the time that extra sign ups opened up and when I finally remembered less than an hour later, all the extra positions I wanted were already filled. I managed to get a spot singing as a francophone student. I also really wanted to be part of the cell block dance scene since it seemed like an interesting experience, but all the female dancing spots were filled. I spontaneously decided to sign up as a male dancer, not really knowing what that would entail. Turns out it entailed me having sore biceps for a week after every practice. I think Med Show is a great way to bring our entire 2020 class together for a tradition that has been part of uOttawa med for years. I’ve been able to see students in the English stream that I would usually not see, and it’s also a great opportunity for the more talented students to apply and show us these skills. I’ve been so amazed by all the talent we have in our year, and I would’ve never gotten to see this if it weren’t for Med Show. For someone with almost no experience in acting, dancing or singing, Med Show has been such a special experience. Everyone’s been so kind and encouraging, it’s made me remember how great the class of MD 2020 is when we aren’t so stressed by exams. I don’t regret signing up for Med Show at all even if every time I need to lift up my dance partner, I’m scared I might drop her. I can’t wait for everyone to see the end result and I suggest that if you ever have the opportunity to try something new, go for it!"
