thanks a lot, i have to save this, very very very useful and informative post.
I havent started watching the videos, so i have a silly question, which systems involves undressing the patient in physical examination? Undressing male patient and examining them is easy, Did u have to undress female patient too? and which cases?

What do u have to have before CSA? white coat, stetho, hammer( or do u call it something else, for jerks?) do u need BP machine also?
Thanks.

I can understand you, can you wait till 11 - 12 April if possible, I am damn busy till that. But after that i can practice couple of cases in stead of a single case. Please consider it



nabil

which systems involves undressing the patient in physical examination?
-FOR CVS & RS YOU WILL HAVE TO LOWER GOWN FROM UPSIDE DOWN AND FOR ABDOMEN, AND LEGS U NEED TO REAISE THE GOWN BUT REST OF PARTS MUST BE COVERED WITH DRAP

Undressing male patient and examining them is easy, Did u have to undress female patient too? and which cases?
- FEMALE IN USMLE CS WEAR BRA SO THERE SHOULD BE NO HAZITATION TO LOWER THE GOWN. IN USMLE GENERALLY 7-8 PATIENTS ARE FEMALE.

What do u have to have before CSA? white coat, stetho, hammer( or do u call it something else, for jerks?) do u need BP machine also?
- FOR CS U NEED TO HAVE YOUR STETHO AND WHITE LAB COAT. NO OTHER PERSONAL ITEM IS ALLOWED IN EXAM ROOM. EVEN THEY PROVIDE YOU STETHO AND LAB COAT IF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN OR DON'T HAVE AT ALL

Thanks.
- GOOD LUCK. THAT'S OK MAN

UW IS NOT MUCH HELPFUL FOR CS
ALL YOU NEED IS FULL TIME STUDY PARTNER WHO WILL TAKE EXAM AND ONE MENTOR OR ADVISOR WHO CAN ADVISE YOU AS AND WHEN NEEDED (WHO HAVE PASSED THIS EXAM)


i am open for any other question

Good luck to all
Please pray for my step 3 prep and exam
