Just curious who else took the surgery shelf last week and what you all thought of it? Did you really think it had as much medicine on it as was advertised?

This has been the first shelf exam that I took all year where I really would not be surprised with any score from pass to honors (17% nationwide to 70+%).

I am pretty sure I passed (knock wood) but will continue to pray to the big man upstairs because I will really cry if I have to go through surgery again. Will find out in a month.
 
it was exactly what i expected. I think this shelf is best summarized as: diagnosis and both medical and surgical management of the surgical patient.
