Owl, a few forum members have mentioned that general pharm is important, so it's a good thing you're going to focus on it. I liked DIT for it, so give that a try if you haven't already.
Munira, welcome! I have a month to go as of today! Final few weeks are important. I wish you the best, good luck!

When air flow is turbulent, give helium!!!! (less oxygen bound to nitrogen)
Helium binds to oxygen --> less dense --> decreases viscosity --> laminar flow --> better ventilation of alveoli
