:: 'my aim is not to pass you, it's to see whether you can pass' - seet ::

interestingly, as the time for my test drew nearer, i wasn't as nervous as i thought i would be... i didn't have heart rate of 120 bpm. hehehe... anyway, initially i got a patient with myasthenia gravis and truthfully, i was THRILLED! but... but... sigh she had to go for physiotherapy... and a very sour-faced porter took her off in her wheelchair, with this self-satisfied smirk on her face for having deprived me of my exam case. hrmph. so S gave me another case, this time it's a 'bread and butter' type aka S.T.R.O.K.E. sian. ok.. haha not grumbling... anyway the PE was weird lor NOTHING UMN lesion though damn sure shld have... sigh... but he didn't fault me on it la... but continued interrogating me on investigations and management. pengz... and i got stuck at how to differentiate a haemorrage from ischaemic event from history alone. how could i not know!?!?!!??! argh! anyway... next, was ABC's turn to get grilled... then we had the same two short cases, one was a cervical radiculomyelopathy and the other was possibly either lymphoma or RCC.. dunno cuz just kena a mass but didn't take history or check the casefile in the end.

overall, i passed. i'm quite ok with my performance for the stroke though sigh... i think i could have given the investigations in a more orderly way (plus i did a writeup for stroke le... i'm so glad i did it!) but as for short cases, i'm quite disappointed with myself. :( i thought i did better for CSFC than this time round. sigh. i have so much more room for improvement... i have an entire soccer field room to improve... haha.... urgh. and i think S muz find me quite queer or odd or farney... haha cremasteric reflex... to him i think wo qian da lor...

omg.... but having a test with an examiner who is that handsome is really not that bad an experience after all! ha!
