Thanks med school - really appreciate the curve ball you threw. I was pretty much asking for it though, wasn't I? I think my most of my guesses were actually correct and so I'm not crying - like some people were half way through the exam.
The feeling I got when I saw the five pages of CT and MRI scans (of the parts of body which we learnt about last year) was similar to the panic that I had bubbling inside of me during last year's OSPE. Except this time it was fortunate that I finished the rest of the exam early and so had an hour to calm myself down and actually look at the damn images. After a whispered prayer/silent cry for help, I actually saw that the vertebral body was damaged, which then made everything a whole lot more easier to interpret. And the CT of the brain actually wasn't too awful - even though at first, I was like wtf... the only thing I can definitely see are the lateral ventricles and about fifty shades of grey surrounding it.
At least the renal question was pretty decent (Professor W, you have my never ending gratitude - except, please don't be my OSCE marker again), as was the other CNS question.
Well, I can safely now say that:
- Maori health
- cancer
- Reproduction, development and Ageing
- falls
will definitely be coming up in Friday's exam. But I think I'm going to take this afternoon off and relax for a bit.
