Not as naive as it sounds, I have read the USMLE instructions and I'm just a little confused about two points.
1) I've developed really bad dry eyes (thanks, second year studying!) and absolutely have to use thick eye drops every 90 minutes or so when using a computer to keep my eyes from gluing shut. Will I be allowed to use these during breaks? I can probably get a note from my opthalmologist, but I only have a month to do so if it's needed.
This isn't mentioned as an illegal item, but they helpfully point out that illegal is at their own discretion.
1b) Please don't tell me this can be done, but only if I apply for special consideration. I may cry. It's non-prescription eyedrops, I'lll even peel off the labels.
2) Are there two lockers, or are you allowed to retrieve your food from the same one with your other stuff during the breaks? The description from the website is written in a way that makes no sense. Or maybe I can't understand instructions unless they're written as a two-part question with five answer choices.
