I had my dermatology final on Thursday -- did quite well and I am releived. The test was a ball breaker, and I was sweating it. With a possible few points "curve", I may end up with an A. (Class avg was 76 - this is a notoriously hard system.) I will say, though, if I see one more pustule, carbuncle, oozing vesicle or red ANYTHING on someone's skin anytime soon I will cry.
I may cry anyway...
I've got 1 day left of classes, and in the next 10 days I've got 2 OMT finals, a 5 hr comprehensive basic medical sciences exam (yes, everything we've learned in 2 years), pediatrics, geriatrics, and clinical integration exams, basic life support and advanced cardiac life support training and exams, and finally a clinical medicine exam where I have to see and diagnose 5 patients in 1 hour.
THEN, I am finished. Until the Boards.
So, I've got little time to blog until May 6, which is the day I am done. Hell, I've barely got time to sleep. Last night I actually passed out from exhaution at 11. I couldn't even think a complete thought. Was up at 7 and started the madness at 8. Sad.. I am already procrastinating...
Back to work. Wish me luck! In 2 short months, I will be treating real, sick patients every day for the rest of my life! (as long as they don't have an oozing rash ...)
Hey Peri, we're gonna be doctors!!!
