Alert! Exams approaching

And I desperately need to fix my sleeping pattern so I can study properly during the day!

So this orthopaedic/dermatology/plastic/periop med/rheumatology block runs for 6 weeks, then comes the exams.

I'll have to

week 1 (which is this week) - revise Block one Cardiology/Respiratory system. Practise Cardio/Resp exams.

week 2 - Block 2 Neurology, Ophthalmology, ENT. Neurological exams on upper limbs and lower limbs, Eye examination including Ophthalmascope, Cranial Nerves

week 3 - Block 3 Renal, Urology, Endocinology. Problem oriented examination for diabetic foot.

week 4 - Block 5 Oncology, Haematology, Infectious Disease (because we are doing block 4 atm so i'll leave it to the end). Lymph nodes examination. The big four cancers, Lung, Prostate, Breast/Ovarian, Leukemia/Lymphonas.

week 5 - Block 6 Gastroenterology/General Surgery. Gastro exams.

week 6 - Block 4 and also everything else that I might have rushed through because it might be less important. Knee and Hip examination, small joint examination for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

And during this 6 weeks. Clerk at least 3 patients outside block 4. And keep practising taking history with colleagues and patients.

Sounds like a good plan. Now I'll just have to stick to it.

Good luck to me!
