#comlex pe

[drdessertfox]

Why is the PE so anxiety inducing? I’m not really worried, OSCEs were always my strongest area, I’m comfortable with patients, and genuinely enjoy history taking. I write full notes and generally don’t have issues thinning of a differential. But for some reason this morning all I can think about is how I might get points counted off for a pen stain on my white coat or that I might forget to write a plan in my SOAP note.

Finished the COMLEX PE yesterday! What a mess haha 

I didn’t post it yesterday because there was a much more important AOA situation happening and congrats to all who matched!

I made friends with one of the students who also took the COMLEX PE today. We were celebrating with drinks when he realized he missed his flight.

Lol whoops

Meant to post the first picture of a food excursion in NY yesterday but I was so exhausted by the time we got to our friends out I passed out haha. Today was more exploring of Philly and heading off to the hotel to get a little bit of last minute studying in for the PE. Good luck me.

I am so studied out. I finished level 2 and I just ..don't want to study anymore. But I still have comlex PE in less than 2 weeks so ):

I know it's rare to fail the PE but I know a friend that did and they study a lot and aren't someone I'd expect to fail so it's starting to worry me. I'm just so burnt out from the last month of studying it's hard to sit down and start the grind again

喔葉! 臨床醫學國考過了!!

我還想說我假如真的被當，我還真的不知道要怎麼面對接下來半年的挑戰。。。

I made a DVT plan

because I am a totally rational human being and needed something to worry about other than this test. So if I get a DVT tonight, I go to the hospital, get my heparin, stay overnight. Then I stuff the bag in my white coat pocket and take an uber to the testing center and take my test still hooked up. Then I can go back to the hospital and get a refill and go home. Then I'll actually be compliant and go to the hospital and hopefully I won't have thrown a saddle embolus by that point. So that was a valuable use of my time.

LAST TEST OF MEDICAL SCHOOL

Tomorrow I will be up bright and early in Conshohocken, PA, ready to tackle the last test of my medical school career. It is a standardized patient examination, similar to OSCEs, where I will see 12 different standardized patients with primary care complaints. The test is graded 50% on biomedical criteria involving history, physical, and SOAP notes. The other 50% is based on humanistic criteria, such as appropriate greeting, handwashing, draping the patient, and bedside manner. It is pass/fail, but I am still so nervous! At least after this, I will officially be done with tests at least until graduation! Wish me luck!
