stick your index finger in the rectum and sweep side to side and forward
and that's how you do a prostate exam. sort of. we had a 3 hour module on testes examining and prostate touching today. it was awesome. apparently, it's not professional to say "i'm going to examine your cock now." it seemed appropriate in fanfiction, why not real life?
hellos, so none of my friends update their friends page anymore. and i haven't for a year, but i will keep with my usual habit of whining copiously about a test before the results come out. because that impresses people, right?
i just finished my 2nd year of medical school. before we advance to 3rd year, where we rotate through different specialties in the hospitals (like surgery, ob/gyn, peds, internal med, etc), we have to take part 1 of our licensing exam. it's called the step 1 or USMLE (but no one fucking smiles about it) and it was even harder than the mcat. i thought once i got into med school, it'd be smooth(er) sailing than undergrad.. omg so delusional. :(
they let us out of class in may to study about 6 weeks for that test. it was basically the first 2 years of medical school plus bunch of other crap tested. this was my bible for 6 weeks, and i'm not even christian. but people have been pronouncing my name as christian though, it's very weird most people try to read/memorize that book 2-3 times and finish a question bank (of 2000 questions). annnnnd, i read the book 1.5 times and finished 80% of the qbank :( i'm quite scared, our scores come out soon. i guess i'll know if i failed if the dean pulls me out of a surgery and starts wiping his office floor with my face.
the test went.. ok. the questions were pretty tough. i cut the time close on almost every section. this test took 8 fucking hours. and we get a total of a 1 hour break, but you had to split it how you wanted between sections (and each section was 1 hour). i paced outside and ate a sandwich my mom packed me anxiously while trying to cram outside (it wasn't very effective, my brain just said 'fuck you, this is my break, leave me alone')
and every time we went in and out of the room, we got our fingerprint taken and a METAL DETECTOR this time! and they checked my pockets. i would dance in place, "hurry, my break time is counting down omggggg slow bitchesss ugggghhhh"
the questions were pretty tough! with stuff i didn't see in the First Aid book and i jsut had to pull from what i knew. thankfully i didn't have that much anatomy.. but the passages were long and it was hard to read thru everything and check the labs. overall i didn't think the questions were that bad, but i just hope i picked the right answers (who doesn't..)..
and there were cameras on me, so when i put my jacket hood up bc it was cold, the lady came in to tell me i couldn't do that. whatevers, i'll be gross on camera instead :| i started sitting crossed leg on the chair and just.. ugh idk it was a blur. i just hope i did well. i'm pretty anxious, everyone is..
if i just get a 225+ (or even a 230+), i will shit my pants happy. fucccccck.
so this entry isn't making sense and i'm not going in order bc i have to go to sleep early since i have surgery grand rounds at 7 AM tomorrow.
HOW DO THESE SURGEONS STAY ALIVE AFTER THESE WEIRDASS SCHEDULES. (keep in mind they pre-round at 5:30 AM and don't go home till dark) but damn, do they look good with those masks and scrubs on
anyway back to what i'm doing everyday
