Mark My Words....

I am never, ever, ever going to be a pathologist. EVER!

I have been studying pathology for three days straight now (only stopping to practice how to do a physical exam) and I still haven't been through all of the information and I am calling it quits and going to bed.

I have studied from 10:00 this morning until now....only stopping to eat and perform bodily functions. Sounds lovely, eh?

There are 19 lectures on this exam and some of the lectures have 100 powerpoint slides to them. This is not cool on the brain. In fact, I don't even know how it is possible to get thru all of the information, that's getting thru it, and then learning it all is yet another story. I have picked what I think is "important" and hopefully the doctors writing the exam tomorrow think along the same lines as myself. Not getting through everything stresses me out. Oh well, I have put forth my best effort and que sera sera.

Also, tomorrow I have a simulated patient experience in which I have to take a history on a patient, do a physical (focused on eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and head) and then write a SOAP note on my findings. Oh, I forgot to mention that a doctor is in the exam room marking every little thing we do during our physical.

Oh tomorrow is going to be such a fun day!

The good thing is that I am going to be able to cross off 66.67% of the exams I have until March Break and I am one day closer to going home. :)

P.S. If this sounds negative, I apologize...I am just super tired....zzzz....
