Hi Fadd,
I am sure that you have done your exam well. Good luck for a great result. All the answers you posted, i think yourare absolutely right only doubt is with the otitis media question, I found in the Toronto notes that risk factor for OM is passive smoking, crowded rooms,bottle feeding, pacifier, male sex etc...swiming i think is more in favour of otitis externa.....if i am wrong please do correct me,,,

A review by the World Health Organization concluded that passive smoking is a cause of bronchitis, pneumonia, coughing and wheezing, asthma attacks, middle ear infection, cot death, and possibly cardiovascular and neurobiological impairment in children

0.9 mg/dL, whatever the unit USMLE use, I believe. I don't think they will play with the unit. Fadd must have a typo here. Anyway, the Q is telling you that the patient is experiencing hypocalcimemia. normal value? 8-10 something.
