As a medical student, I can definitely tell you Martha isn't a "real" medkid for the following reasons:
1. She's never drunk, as you pointed out. 2. Her body isn't 70% caffeine. 3. She doesn't endlessly compare the relative benefits of the different physiology textbooks eg. "Guyton's cheaper, but Martini is lighter to carry ..." 4. She doesn't know how to use a stethoscope. 5. She doesn't procrastinate NEARLY enough. 6. She doesn't know how to do CPR properly. 7. She hasn't grown a cancer on her left hip which suspiciously resembles a textbook. 8. When someone asks her to examine a patient with abdominal pain, the first thing she does is check the heart. What the O_o
And finally we know she's not a real student because she doesn't manage to slip something to do with medicine into EVERY conversation. Eg:
Random student: "We went to the beach yesterday." Med student: "That's cool. Just the other day we were in clinical and I got to push this guy's hernia back through his abdominal wall!" Random student: "What's that got to do with anything?!" Med student: *Mumbling* "Nothing. I just thought it was cool."
