Is there a medical student in there?

It’s a curious thing that we’ve all seen: neurologists going to the office or making the rounds with their leather black bags in tow.  What’s in those darned little bags?  Neurologists appear attached to them as if they were placentas.  They’re pretty big too, you’d think there’s at least one med student in there.  Well, wonder no more, Gomerblog has the answer to your question.  How?  Well, we stole one and quickly went through its contents.  Shhh, don’t tell anyone.
