ouch.
so the test came and went, and it was the grandmother of all disasters.
sgh wards are unbearably stuffy and so i perspired like a hog, while trying to pick up signs which were non-existent and organize my findings into a proper summary at the end of it all. it proved to be too much for my puny peabrain and out spewed from my mouth gibberish garble which really didn't make much sense at all. (e.g. left lower lung consolidation with a trachea deviated to the right - %$#@!)
no wonder at the end of the 2 short cases, this is wat the (mean) doctor said to me.
"you didn't do too well, better get a hold of urself and clerk ur long case properly."
uhh okay. i sorta accepted my pre-eminent failure already. so the only bright spark of the day was getting a diabetic patient for my long case and i did mug on diabetes, hence it wasn't that bad. but guess what the (poker-faced) doctor retorted after my presentation?
"you know wat, you failed your first case. coming from tan tock seng, it's a disgrace that you forgot so many steps for respiratory exam. you did terribly. i'm going to give you a second chance and let you do another short case."
i wonder if i was lucky in that sense, but i certainly did not appreciate having to do yet another short case (which i suck bigtime in). fortunately, the case went along okay and there weren't many hiccups. then at the end of it all, the (freaky) doctor banished me with a simple "okay you can leave now" and a nonchalant wave of his hand.
have no idea if i passed in the end or not.
very disturbing and traumatizing test.
extremely guai lan tester.
but i'm hella glad it's all over and i'll probably get to repeat General Medicine posting again, which i don't really mind. and i got a super horrible tester at my first test! now nothing can faze me i tell you.
so tired. my brain will be dead for the next 48 hours. goodbye
