i need a rest

osce is over. finally. bleargh.

i don't want to care about it. if i pass all 12 station, alhamdulillah. if i fail, well i would be super pissed and unhappy because all the questions asked are well within the limit of my knowledge, so i don't know what happen if i do fail BUT i will just have to make peace with it i guess. i THINK i can do them all but God knows how the result will turn out to be. for the mean time just have to wait and pray for the best.

anyways, i'm super bored with nothing else to do so might as well write what those 12 stations are all about.

i started at station 11 and the case is about a man complaining of breathlessness. diagnosed him with asthma but not sure if it is because all the test i requested ended up being unavailable or not yet ready.

station 12: a case about a man with hypopigmented patches on his skin and complain about numbness on the affected skin. definitely lepra. but i screwed up the skin and integument test because the question was confusing (do all SKIN test that support that the affected skin is numb). SKIN freaking TEST so i only do SKIN TEST LAH, if you asked me to check the nails and hair i would, okay.

station 1: rest

station 2: reflex test. a man was involved in an accident with bruises and cuts on his face. this is easy peasy.

station 3: test for abdomen. i think i did everything right here but the doctor is psychoing me with her headshakes and stuffs. i definitely definitely think she is trying to psycho me but i'm psychoproof so whatever, just wait for the results to come out.

station 4: septic and antiseptic routine before an operation procedure. went well except for the fact that my surgery mask kept on messing with my eyes and i was nearly taunt to tears. i think i'll pass this one because except for the mask mishap everything else was fine.

station 5: test for ascites and cirrhosis. went well except for the fact that the doctor was uncooperative (he remained silent throughout) and didn't give me any of the lab test that i requested. diagnosed the man with liver cirrhosis due to over consumption of alcohol.

station 6: vital signs and abdomen test. a man came with a fever since 5 days ago. i diagnosed him with dengue fever because his IgM dengue virus is positive.

station 7: ECG. mother of pearl i couldn't find the power button on the ECG machine. waste like 3 minutes babbling nonsense until i found it at the back of the machine. FISH!

station 8: anthropometry for babies, nutrition and imunisation. can-lah i guess. luckily i read about immunization the night before.

station 9: musculoskeletal. a lady came with a complaint about rigidity on her right fingers with mild fever. the mobility and range of motion of the affected fingers are restricted. diagnosed her with rheumatoid arthritis based on the predilection of the disease (fingers, small joints) EVENTHOUGH none of the test that i requested (rontgen photo, rheumatoid factors, athrocentesis) had been done to support my diagnosis. whatever, i'm confident it is rheumatoid arthritis.

station 10: vital signs, professionalism and empathy. a man came with a complain about his hypertension. i cheated on the pulse and heart rate because i took too much time taking the blood pressure. and only take the temperature 3 minutes before the time is up(supposedly 5 minutes prior to reading). it was supposed to be easy peasy but i don't know.

gah. whatever. i dont want to think about it. if i were the doctors evaluating i would give myself a straight pass because it's not like i don't know how to do it and some more, 10 minutes are too much of a constraint for me to do the best i can.

in the meantime i'll just pray that it will turn out fine because i don't want to be studying anything else during this holiday because HOLIDAY is HOLIDAY.
