for those who had to retake the comlex pe

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I did not have to retake, but I have heard they have more than one day's worth of cases. It is possible you will have all new cases, it is possible they will have some the same as before.
 
here are some cases i think are good to know.
I dont think they will have peds bc children will not able to tolerate being at a test site for 14 hrs.
No surgery. etc.

1)asthma
2)anxiety attack
3)lower ab pain
4)pneumonia
5)reg check up
6)arthritis
7)bloody poo
8) ITB dysfxn
9) leg muscle cramp
10) allergic reactions
11) cough. ---strept/mono/TB
12) constipation. ---hypothyroid/dehydration/too much Ca supplement
13) it hurts when i pee and lower back pain.
14) haven't had period in 3 months
15) my knees hurt when i walk
16) i have a headache
17)it hurts when i swollow
18) chest pain---more likely to be costochondritis. i dont think they would give MI
19) patients asking for specific screening/blood/imaging tests
20) teen needs birth control/day after pill/ std testing

a lot of the cases i've read about in the guide books sound inplausible.

also....
when i was practicing with classmates and using timer........
i kept running out of time when i went to practice typing the SOAP
so when i practiced, during the history taking i set up my paper so that you put all pertinent neg Sx on upper RT corner. Assessment on lower left corner. Plan on lower right corner. and the Hx in upper left. that way when you get to the computer you can just type it how its set up on screen.

also i found its faster if I start typing the A/P first since its just 2 short lists. then I went to top and typed subjective since its longer and your brain is free to concentrate on the more complex writing.

Better take notes, kids, before this thread gets closed. I already took it and agree with your main points, but you sound pretty nuts.
 
Dude dragonj your overreacting. Clinke is getting at the fact that your're clearly violating the agreement you signed on test day to not violate the integrity of the exam which you have cleary done given the fact that I may have or may not of had some of those cases you posted. I think it would be smart on your part to take it down before you're banned.
 
The 4 above posts may not make any sense now because I edited my posts after my exhaustion went away and the medication side effects finally wore off.
The past 2 days i was agitated, extremely aggressive and confused.
when i was at the test site i had already taken 30mg of adderall XR, 10 mg of propanolol and i felt agitated so i also took .5mg xanax.
i was half paying attention kinda out of it. i did not hear what people were saying anymore. (i heard them speaking but my brain was asleep.)
i got worried that i wouldnt be able to perform so i took another 30mg adderall.
it took me 2 whole days to get back to normal.
you guys do not want to know what 60mg of adderall feels like.

and yes. these are all prescription pills.
i hate having ADHD

How do I erase those quotes you guys included in your posts? Those need to be deleted. I was not using any judgement when I made them.
