I have a question for students who are out on clinical rotations now, and I would appreciate honest answers. After two years of clinical rotations, I feel confident in my ability to hear cardiac murmurs, carotid bruits, and various lung sounds. However, I am a concerned about some of my other diagnostic skills. I can only detect very significant abnormalities on a prostate exam, I don't remember ever palpating any thyroid abnormalities, and I still can't see crap on a fundoscopic examination. And honestly, sometimes on examination of somebody's pharynx, the doctor's like "Oh, there's a little erythema and some post-nasal drip" and I'm like whatever....So now I am pulling out my hair and wondering if anyone else out there is in my boat. Anyone? Bueller?
