i wanna kick myself - dr_pm - ArchivalUser - 10-19-2005
after all the prep, i got freaked out totally
i totally forgot pamhugsfoss in one pt, forgot to counsel a couple, one pt hated me frm the start, didnt complete full examinations in a couple, and my handwriting ws terrible.
but wat i did do is- knock n entered, thanked pts profusely, good basic manners, asked if they had any concerns, explained all the tests, n sum other stuff like draping etc
but i cud hav done so much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gl to all. n pls tell me if i hav a chance
one thing i want to tell ppl is-- pls practice all cases in UW n FA, in front of the mirror everyday! coz ur reflexes wil help when ur tensed!
all the best!

Hey caudate. it is impossible to come out of the cs clean. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS NOT MAKING ANY MISTAKE. I personally made a handful of mistakes. I learnt that we are going to be judged with 10 out of 12 cases. I forgot to write in the PN the MMSE, in another, I forgot to record the result of the reflex test in my PN. I did not counsel in two cases because of lack of time. You can never have it all right.
