help :( cs mistake fatal?

[drmom33]

well I took it today, and i did all the basic draping/eye contact/shaking hands/ empathy/ etc.
Time was what killed me, about 8/12 pt's I eneded during the pe, that means no closure so did that just kill my pass?
Any help guys, I can't sleep and am just kicking myself for not memorising fa

I would dare say that quite a number of people had a case that they did not finish. I had one and I passed. You're probably fine.

I want to be realistic, I don't think the people above read your post clearly. You didn't finish on 8 cases? That's a reason for concern, because the writeup is 1/4 or so of the total grade. but what can you do? Learn from the experience. I hope you did ok.

I don't think she meant the writeup, she means that she didn't get to counsel 8/12 patients. I would guess that is a few points off of each case.

crap, I forgot the flow, that's right. Duh. Pediatrics has me in a trance.

We don't know the magic formula and neither do you. It's too late now, so don't worry about it.

I know it's going to be a long wait, there's nothing I can do, but it helps to hear from those with the same experience who actually passed, just a little. I didn't have a problem with the patient note, just time during the interview, which ended when I was still doing a physical meaning no closure, and no counseling, yes that's 8 out of 12 cases
So I guess it's going to be a long 2 months!
Thanks for the feedback though, I appreciate it
