I'm just speculating that they are wrapping up right about now, but congratulations to all of you who made it through. It's the second best feeling associated with the process, with the best feeling coming about a week from now.

Also, be sure to generate a recall for all of our little brothers and sisters who are on deck!

Congrats to all of you! Must feel amazing to have that boulder off your shoulders.

We probably have to be patient till Friday when they hear the results. We had a small Post Boards Toast for one of our junior faculty members yesterday. He said most of the examiners were cool, but some made weird faces to throw your confidence off. Apparently, two people had a panic attack and could not go through the exam ... I felt so bad hearing that, because I can totally see how it could happen with all the hype. I mean, I was getting nervous just listening to him. I wonder if the changing demographics of RadOncs (i.e., creme de la creme of med school students, overachievers with amazing scores who go in thinking we have to and can "ace" any exam) make us more vulnerable in an oral-boards situation?

Congrats to all who recently passed Orals, and sincere condolences to those who did not. Please be sure to share recalls with your juniors.
