Def do carotid bruit in older and do quick chest and heart but make sure u do rest before going to chest exam
paaaaaaaaaaaassssssss everybody..................plzzzz accept our prayers......
Oh no never warmed my steth
not that I am worried abt that I do not think that it counts against u if u don't clean or warm steth (not on the checklist) so try concentrating items in FA checklist to never miss. The CIS items on list are same on each case in FA and they should b perfected to not miss the sure 100% points bc trust me there will b enough stupid blunders else where to cost points so try to not miss points on things already spelled out for u.....

hey guys.....
this is me again, i was out for 2 days and i can see that , this forum is really active....
what is amazing about this forum is to feel that ur n't alone, and what ever weired feelings u have , there is alot of ppl who share u the same feeling....
i'm trying to b positive, but i keep in mind that every war has victims!!!
as i told u , i'm trying to enjoy my vacation after 20 mths of pain, but it was a mistake to take a vacation while i'm waiting for the results....
i'm in my country where no body even knows about USMLE, so u can see it's hard to find some one to share ur fear with...
riya, drstethoscope and drtaurus and all of u guys r doing a very good work here....
i really hope that all of us pass this silly exam....
i don't know if ur IMG or no...in my exam there was only other img, she was from india, anyhow , she was in the other line , so technically i was the only img, that's a really bad idea when i'm the only guy with accent...lol
ok guys , just keep posting and praying, best of luck for all
inshaa allah, ie god willing
drstethoscope do you think they might fail us if we forget to counsel regarding alcohol and smoking in a couple of cases because when i am practicing i am forgetting to remember that i should counsel them.
I don't think they fail based on one thing only....but my point is when u know u miss something always you practice to handle it. I used to forget allergies and hospitalizations so I worked on that.... Still in exam I forgot to ask smoking q in 1 pt and forgot to smoking counsel in one... But I don't think that will hurt me...so while practicing ur aim is to get at least 97 % in all cases that leaves room for about 3% human error which will translate to at least 10% mistakes in exam. Ur practice should b perfect so ur exam can be a little imperfect..... Makes sense?
Well gals and guys about 30 min ago I think I got my zen morment..... I don't know what happened but I just realized CK was so hard, step 1 was harder bc there was real substance there... This exam was me being me and I did what I do best....I did exactly what I will do when I will b in real life with my patients, there was no acting no panic on my part.... So u know what I do not believe I will fail for being me....that is just not possible.....this was not the test of what I know but what I could do bc of what I know.....so I believe despite of all my mistakes I was okay, I was as good as I can b in a standerdized setting bc I was at my standard with all SPs......
Okay so I think that has calmed me down..... Till the moment of truth and I pray that I am able to prove in 1 day that u are best when u are calm and urself in this exam
GL everyone ...... Breath breath breath
