Today, my final exams for SURGERY officially starts. I took the first exam today, there's a lovely break tomorrow then exams on wednesday, thursday, and friday before finally, SEMBREAK. Why the hell am I creating a blog anyway? I used to have a blog but that went down along with the site that hosted it and in my frustration promised I'd never make another blog EVER. Makes me wonder what I'm doing here. haha!
Anyway, this lovely ophthalmology exam I took earlier this morning isn't so lovely as it sounds. I studied and studied hard I did. I didn't watch TV this weekend, didn't play computer games (DOTA my ass, go to hell. haha) But still, I only managed to answer with confidence less than half of the questions. (50 item exam) I never liked ophthalmology though I find it interesting. But anyway we weren't asked basic questions a general practitioner would know. We were asked questions only ophthalmology residents could answer. Take for example, ophthalmologic therapeutics. We were bombarded with tons of questions regarding highly specialized treatments we could only read in books or hear in news and journals. Of course, we have LASIK, LASEK here, but what being asked about the specific differences between Nd:YAG laser and the other laser methods? hmmm.. Thankfully some of the basic questions were fun (!!!) to answer like differentiating between the dozens or so causes of inflammed eye. All our questions are of the mulitple choice type and patterned after the board exams. We even have answer cards where we shade our answers using pencils and the computers will do the job of checking the papers and voila! our scores are out in no time. Well, bottomline is, I think I failed. haha!
So I guess I have to study well tomorrow, use the freetime given to us. It's gonna be one hell of a long week. Surgery, damn you! haha..
