When our names go up on the list, we are immediately given our BChir, despite having our "graduation" two days later.

We get the MB at a proper degree ceremony some time in July (or whenever we want) or can get it in absentia.

I'm not so sure given I can't seem to stay away from this place and also can't remember how to do any of the orthopaedic examinations :o:

I can remember that much :p:

I could, but then I'd lose all my subscribed threads and I hate doing that. I've restricted how long I can have on here per day and will halve that length of time for this coming week to try and make sure I spend more time revising but I'm too attached to this place for an outright ban (and have too many dupes to get around it with :o:)

I don't have quite that many and they all have their individual uses :p:

Yeah, I need to remind myself how to do all the examinations and then practice them til I can do them in my sleep!

I examined someone's knee the other day, and was all pleased with myself that I'd done it. Five minutes later I realised I had completely forgotten to do all the ligament tests :facepalm:

I once did a cardiovascular exam and didn't realise the patient was missing a leg. I just checked one leg for oedema and left sheet on where the other leg would've been. Whoops. Thankfully this was more than a couple of years ago...
I attempted to shake the patient's paralysed arm in my OSCE. Not my brightest moment :sigh:
I'm still traumatised by the old man with no pants on in my 4th year vascular station.

And in finals the knee exam patient essentially telling me I was too fat to be sitting on his foot.

For me it was the man who had rolled over & assumed the left lateral PR position in one deft move whilst I did my spiel about 'for completion, I would also like to...' :biggrin:



& :hello: how go things?
I've just had 7 days off, don't want to go back to work tomorrow!
& am currently way too fat to be sitting on anyone's foot...damn French food/holiday feeling.

But I wanna :frown:
I think it is just me getting fed up with any attempt to be competitive which if I do what I want now from what I can see isn't competitive...



I want to look at doing something about death & autopsy if I can...


Sorry dude I take it back, definitely do what you wanna do in life!

Hit up my personal tutor Mike Osborn, think he works in histopath at Mary's, did Autopsy lectures in yr1, a very nice and approachable guy.
Every year I leave revision quite late and cram in as I don't want to start too early and forget stuff/peak too soon. Decided to do the same this year and now I'm kinda worried I won't even finish revising everything in time for exams. :eek:

Doesn't help that I failed 2 out of 10 mock osce stations yesterday too, which means I have to spend more time going over that too. Arghh.
Revision :bawling:
Boom! One down, three to go.
I don't know why I bother sometimes. I worked really hard on a piece of work when a load of other things were happening that I would have rather been focusing on. I got it back today. No merits. What was the point?
