Joyful days are here to stay

First day of OSCE was today. The epitome of nervousness I tell you. Damn. And to make it worse my first two stations were, and are going to be, physical examination stations. I thought that it will good to get them done with and out of the way but I was wrong like I've never been wrong before. Started with a chest expansion, but somehow it didn't register in my mind that it said 'POSTERIOR' chest expansion. Wasted time there and hence couldn't do the vocal resonance thing. Then 2nd station was taking blood pressure. The only thing I didn't practice as I thought I still remembered how to do it.

See? Piece of cake.

But guess what happened after I fastened the velcro cuff and started to pump? The velcro cuff just opened. Now how in the hibby-jibbies did that happen?! God knows. It was then I say the doctor inside the room marking dashes across the marking scheme. Superfuck. I carried on hoping to get a few marks though, and this time when I started to pump the mercury went out and down and up and down like a porn star on top of some guy. CCB I forgot to close the lock on the pump.

Thank God I had a rest station after that to regroup my mind and calm down. And the next station was a BS history taking (my fav - Zhiven out of jealously said that it is caused I'm good in seducing older women, poor lost kid) which got me back on track.

Then came Htin Aung, and his 'DO NOT KNOCK THE FREAKING DOOR' sign. CCB my heart went haywire again, but luckily it was apex beat and locate thrills. So I was happily doing and found the apex beat. Or so I thought. Cuz he then stopped my just when I was about to report the position and said, "It is a sin to lie, son. We, as professionals and doctors, are here to help and serve. If I can't locate the apex beat, how can you?" CCB CCB. I just apologised saying it wouldn't happen again and carried on cuz I only have way less than 5 minutes left now! But I did finish, and didn't get 'char-ed' by him again - on the contrary it was the best physical exam station. Wtf.

And tomorrow for sure it will be lymph nodes and GI. And maybe rectal. Joyful days are here to stay.
