EXAMS NO MORE.

today was the OSCE.
(: for those who are lost,
osce is like a reenactment of a real doctor-patient situation
whereby the patient is a simulated one (trained to act and be 'sick')
and an examiner sits in to grade your skills,
in accordance to youR:
-communication skills
-non verbal skills (like eye contact, SMILING)
-empathy skills
-explanation without jargon skills
-your personality (like how understanding and nice you are.. ETC)
-your knowledge of certain illnesses and diseases.
-radiology skills
-dealing with angry/psychiatric patients.
ALL THAT STUFF.

and today was prolly a very good day.
woke up , had brunch, relaxed ard the house,
got dressed formally for the osce,
drove to uni,
catched up with hyacinta (i miss that girl! sucha darl)
(:
and did the osce without anyy stressing.

(:
it was good. had a schizo patient (i tink...)
who was a lil scary. sitting and talking to herself,
rocking a lil in her seat,
addressing herself as "we" not "i"
and hearing voices in her head.
(:
then had the usual Xray with a fracture/dislocation.
musculoskeletal and neurological examinations.
(:
an elderly patient with sciatica. (this one was funny. i kept flipping the pt on his back and then on his front. heh.)
(:
another elderly, angry guy with basically every possible disease
and legally obliged to give up his licence.
(: then came the hotttt white guy that had to take off his top
for me to examine it.
HOT GUY! (: (okok i knw.... professionalism.)

and i had a tummy ache frm all the jelly beans i was tryin to fill my tummy with.
