Hey guys!
long time lurker here

so, I have CS on Monday, and i think it's safe to say i'm freaking the freak out. like, bad. bad bad bad.

terrified of blanking, especially on the workup and DDx... i was wondering if anyone could possibly give me some advice or calm my nerves etc haha cus i'm sitting here trying to remember all these tests and it's not looking pretty. So, i wonder if they really care if, say, i had a pt with like DDx hirschsprung's and wrote "rectal biopsy" in the workup but not "suction rectal biopsy"... or if i forgot to put it all together but still put a majority of the other workup (eg: anorectal manometry, rectal exam, barium enema, cbc electrolytes)

I've read a lot of reassuring topics about people who have messed up "badly" and passed, i just wonder if this is forgivable.

any feedback would be much appreciated!!

truly, desperately.
