This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Yes every time there is a bump I have to change my shorts - I'm at work and I'm running out of fresh ones

I like to think that every time this thread is bumped, somewhere a doctor changes his underwear.

Now the ABA is screwing with everyone:

The ABA Diplomate Directory is currently unavailable and will return
to service on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 10:00 AM (ET).
Please contact the ABA Office with any questions at (866) 999-7501.


Or maybe they're just being nice and not letting random people look up who passed and who didn't for 24 hrs.

Passed it as well. I was debating on waiting to get home so I didn't yell at anyone at work, but it's ALL GOOD.
 
True story, they are up. I passed! Almost vomited in my mouth a little while I was logging in.
 
Passed!!! I guess they overlooked my complete failure to string together a coherent sentence regarding electrical grounding.

yeah this is what they do now that people were searching other people and candidates were finding out via congratulatory/apologetic facebook posts whether or not they had passed

This is actually how I found out I passed a few years back... bunch of txt messages from people before I saw the results myself
 
Hi I fail the oral this year it was my first attempt. I thought I was prepared I took two M. HO courses and one Jensen, I practice 22 mocks oral. I am not fluent in English. In the real exam even when I knew the topics my presentation was poor and because I was so nervous I could not comunicate well. I was very intimidated. I do not know what to do now. I have read a lot. Do you have any advice?

Practice English. Forget the Ho courses. Take some language courses.

i feel like this is part of the reason why the exam is the way it is. to practice anesthesiology in the united states you need to be fluent in english
 
I took oral boards yesterday, and felt pretty ok after. Today, more I think about it more I freak out:eek: now 3 weeks of waiting.
