Over & Out of it

It is done.

O.V.E.R = No more exams... until resits in August.

I don't think I did very well. In fact, I think I did crap.. shit all.. Horrible.. *scream*

I had 4 patients.. and I still cannot remember what Patient 2 had.. I can only remember my management plan. The traumatic experience means my brain has shut it out.

People ask me if I was just really nervous. I wasn't as nervous as I normally get, but I felt that my performance was dire, and not even half as good as my usual exam performance. I will be lucky if I passed. In fact, the reason they asked me all those questions was because I was talking shite and was totally out of it. Everyone else seemed to be able to give shit hot presentations and show off their nice padding and strapping. Maybe my nervousness had gone beyond the threshold for nerves.

Patient one had cancer and deep vein trombosis...But had very little in terms of padding and strapping.. just popped a few seed corns.. bah..

My moment of glory wasn't to be. My amazing management plan for Patient 2 was cut short by LUNCH.. Lunch!! They wouldn't let me finish off my patient and asked me to go off for L.U.N.C.H!! Patient 1 had baby playschool-level padding and strapping... =( how was that going to get me any marks??

Diagnosis exams in the afternoon weren't any better. I had my first ever Polio patient! And another patient with stroke, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. I couldn't remember how Polio worked, and what affected what in stroke.. Polio was just anterior horn cell infected by virus to me, causing fatigue, asymetrical limb weakness and Leg Length Discrepancy... Apparently not so.. I needed to explain how and where and why it happened.. *scream* All that revision on Polio had no effect.. and the fact that I didn't bother to tell the examiners about Post Polio Syndrome and interprofessional patient management didn't help..

Patient 4 had stroke.. i only knew the 3 types of stroke, and it's Angina Pectoris and the fact that it is due to lack of oxygen in the brain... Don't ask me to name them. I could differentiate it, and also diagnose Osteoarthritis with Rheumatoid Arthritis and the psychological aspects of amputation.. I think that was as far as I got.. At least I did consider the psychological aspects.

I should have just bribed them like everyone else.. Or kissed ass big time.

I told everyone that if I failed my exam, I am just going to get married.

So all those losers who didn't pray hard enough..Beware!

Don't say I didn't warn you.
