now the Ortho CAT

wow...
how time flies, (and how lazy i've become).
The surg CAT went ok.. to put it mildly. My essay had lots of cancer questions, esophageal, colorectal, breast... some of which i'd not prepared for, but my 3rd yr pathology kicked in to save me quite a few blushes.

The clinical was worrisome though. Took a good history and made a not too bad examination. Question time was however a bit rocky, especially when i couldn't recall they called an incision made during an appendectomy (appendicectomy)! Not very impressed, the good doctor asked me to read harder! That's not something you want 2 hear just after your exam, u know. Thankfully, i seem to have made a good enough impression for him to award me 59% (--applause--) remembering that not too many of my classmates got 60's let alone 70's, i think i was doin ok.


Anyhow, it's been so long since then, mpaka, i'm now just about to do my ortho exam (we have 6 weeks of each(surg and ortho) promptly followed by an essay and clinical assessment). So right now, i've hit the books again. I should actually be in theatre right now, but the reading doesn't allow me such pleasures.(unless some irate consultant summons us!). And as i read on Weber's classification of Ankle fractures, i thot i should post one more time, seeing that i haven't for such a long while.


Otherwise,
Keep it blogged.
