Gathering information, venepuncture, resp exam, hand washing. I think that's all... so not too much. :p:

Not too much! should be good. Generally I think OSCEs are way less stressful. I have a clinical skills revision night tonight but OSCEs not until the end of the year.. the day after our written exam (harsh). Use your flatmates to practice on.

General question to all: do you find it easier to talk through what you're doing (and any findings) as you go along, or to summarise everything at the end? I can't decide, I find it distracting to have to talk through as I go along but then always forget something if I leave it to the end..

This early?
Formative though right?

I will swap I have psychiatry assessment tomorrow - my most hated subject within medicine.
Probably should start revising! I feel like crap, am still puking and most of all have no motivation!!

Picking clinical blocks for next year = realisation that I actually have to go back to Medicine :s-smilie: I don't know any medicine anymore!

In earlier years where i was just memorising lists of clever things to say I found it helpful to speak out my carefully rehearsed script, because basically thats all you are doing! In later years it serves no purpose because i would just get distracted by my script.
Psychiatry on the otherhand is a mystery unknown to man and a speciality that I hate with a passion. How and why would people want to do that for a living?

Yeah I guess learning bullet points to cover at the end of each will work as long as I remember to note any findings and don't forget to put them in at the relevant part.

We're constantly told to talk our way through it :dontknow:

So for cervical lymph nodes it was a case of sub-mental, sub-mandibular, tonsillar etc..

Do you mean submental or are the submantles a set of nodes I'm unaware of?

Gah accidently typed sub-mentle, and then changed the wrong vowel :facepalm:

Same here. In my general exam OSCE I started palpating the above and was specifically asked to name them as I did it. Ditto for say abdo exam.. "I'm feeling for guarding" etc etc..

I even had anatomy questions being fired at me while I was auscultating for bowel sounds. Bit annoying tbh.

Finally finished my drug presentation SSC :biggrin:

Time to catch up with Junior Doctors and Big Bang Theory. :smile:
My day so far: Waking up and thinking.. this isn't my room..
Realisation that I'd fallen asleep at the rowing Withnail and I challenge last night
Realisation that everything hurt
Go to med school and help out with interviews all morning, still slightly drunk to start, then massively hungover for the rest.
Got back, sleep.


**** off PBL, you're not getting done this week.
Have just passed finals :biggrin: ! Can't quite believe it - still keep checking the email just in case - but very happy!

Congratulations!

I remember that night well - out for dinner - I felt far too nauseated to eat pudding (v uncharacteristic for me!) & once the text messages started dashed back to check results on college computer... then we went back for pudding & cocktails. :biggrin: I had to reread the email a good few times & get someone else to double check my number.
