In case you were wondering
I PASSED
Dave called yesterday to say that two official looking carbon-paper envelopes had arrived from USMLE. I made him open mine. Yours truly got a 226 which is passing with plenty of room to spare. Dave, meanwhile, absolutely smoked the damn thing with a fat 258. Anyway, yours truly is now officially an M3 and will get to see his first genuine live patient in less than a month. Saints be praised.
