So, here I am, patiently awaiting July 16th, going about my daily routine with the rest of the world oblivious to my internal anxiety about my performance on "The Step".
I check my mail, as I do everyday, throwing away (err...recycling) the junk mail when hidden between a stack of coupons and an LL Bean catalog is a large white envelope with a return address of "National Board of Medical Examiners".
At that exact moment, my blood pressure rose to 200/160, my BP rocketed to my theoretical max (187), and my trousers became just a little soiled.
As I recovered from almost passing out, and wondering why everyone was staring at me so strangely, I thought "Should I open this, or have my wife do it?" Then I realized that I am indeed a grown man, so I grabbed my sack and tore open the envelope to find...............
A SURVEY????!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!
Do the massacists not know the crap that they're putting us through making us wait 8 weeks becuase they had to add a few questions to thier silly little test that 90% of people pass the first time???!!!!!! Who is the eminance of Satan Incarnate that thought it would be a good idea to send out a SURVEY in an NBME envelope BEFORE they give us the results!!!!!??????
I know, they want our objective thoughts before we find out how we did and the results will come via email, but SERIOUSLY!!! I'm not going to say the test questions were at the right difficulty and scope before I find out if they were indeed at the right difficulty and scope as determined by my results!
How pleased was I with the content??? That pretty much depends on whether or not I passed your stupid little...no MONSTER OF AN EXAM!!!!
I think the only way that I could possibly live with myself at this moment is to finish school, go work for the NBME, get promoted as quickly as possible AND FIRE THE DUDE THAT SENT OUT THIS SURVEY!!!!!!!!
Someday when I'm in charge.....
