Q name a bacteria which causes AV nodal heart block?

(no peeking

Borellia burgdorferi!

Yay !! u nailed it

@carpi since u have finished 2 exams u might feel confident that u can get thru this compared to those who didnt take any exams right ? but still each exam has its own stress.
did u take any nbme ? where did u take ur cs exam in houston r philly ? as i heard philly is anti img .

@raw since i didnt read micro in detail now a days i remember gram +ve bacteria effect the heart.. is it stap aures or strepo ? is it streptococci pyogenes ?

where did u get the idea u cannot have babies in residency ?? i heard alot of resident esp in IM filled with pregnant ladies & also other speciality but i think the one u have to be careful is when u get into radiology or radiation oncology any thing related to radiation

I'm back from my break and shower and ready to get at this for the night!

Just going to review the respiratory drugs and then do some questions.

@dr_raw: You've been through the material plenty of times, so I'm sure you're ready to do amazing on this exam! Just take the NBME, and if you're happy with the score then, go for it! Otherwise, you can still extend your eligibility period. Better to make sure you do well on this exam, than regret it later.

Until the next post, good luck, everyone!
