Hi docnik,
Your tips are really helpful.I got my results y'dy n I couldnt clear it.It was a big shock for a student like me who topped the medical school throughout.My performance was below borderline in interpersonal communication skills only.What should I do to improve it?
Can we stand in front of pt. n check weather we have asked all the Qs ,at the end of everything?Did you tell all the pts a no of D/Ds? and a specific diagnosis?Do we have to remove n fold the drape after we r done?

hey sonat im really sorry to hear that u didnt make it.. i hope ull pass the next time..
Hmm about checking the questions asked in front of the patient.. i dont think thats the right thing to do...You can ask the patient if u missed anything in the history...but im sure they wont add a thing...nobody did wen i gave my exam...i missed many question in every case ( as compared to Uworld)...but to minimize missing questions I wrote in my scrap paper which systems i had to ask questions about (outside the doorway)... for eg, in a case of palpitation i wrote cvs, thyroid, cns(anxiety) and entered the room.... during preparation for cs i had made a note of things i had to ask for each system...
Most of the cases i didnt tell the sps the exact d/ds..eg .i said there is something wrong with ure lungs, heart or brain...thats it...
And we dont have to remove and fold the drapes ...
I hope this helps..if u have any other question let me know...

hey anemee ...i didnt give much time to patient notes wen i was preparing for cs..... during the exam i followed the first aid pattern...in many cases (4 or 5) didnt write 5 d/d or labs...10 mins is more than enough...so i think u dont have to worry much about the patient note...just do wats written in first aid...
