Ok guys, it's another one of your favorite threads. The one where a person who just took cs thinks they failed. We all love these kinds of threads right? Let's get started.
1. Didn't do cranial nerve 11 exam
2. Ran out of time closing on first patient
3. Hardly asked anyone if they had questions at the end
4. Wrote down unnecessary tests during my work up
5. Ran out of time for work ups during one patient note
6. Didn't ask pertinent questions regarding one case too much
7. Forgot to tell a pt to stop taking the medication tht might be causing their problem during the closure
8. Auscultated the lungs one at a time instead of going side to side
9. Missed an obvious differential diagnosis
10. Scared the crap out of one mean looking patient by telling them they might have cancer but then had to recant tht statement and tell them I need to use it out
11. Ordered unnecessary tests on a few patients
12. Forgot to shake hands on a bunch of cases
13. Didn't answer the challenging question to well one at least 2 cases
14. I did light palpation but Didn't do deep palpation of the abdomen and didn't check for rebound tenderness
15. One guy drank twice a week and don't know if I should have counseled him on alcohol
The list goes on but these are the things I screwed up on that have been driving me crazy to the point where I'm having nightmares nightly about them
Any advice about similar mistakes and chances of passing would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
