Sandy and Nora Talk Politics Episode 103: Abolish the Police
In the second segment (@56:20 ), we chat with Manraj Sharma, a 3rd year clerk at UofT Med and one of Dilshan's best friends! Of course, we kick back with Manraj in regular Shoot the Ship fashion. We explore guest questions (yes, singular - thanks Paolo), and talk about moving, med school, clerkship during COVID-19 (+ advice for incoming clerks), get the inside scoop on what Dilshan was like in high school, and hear about Manraj's hidden superpowers. We also pay homage to E-40 and his bubble flow, and bring back some beloved staples of our show - Would You Rather and Am I the Asshole!
