Hi digitaldoc,
u r a wonderfull humanbeing.I realy admire u and wht all u r doing for helping CS takers.Ur site is just awesome.keep it up.
I took cs a few days ago.the only thing i would like to emphasize again to all the future candidates is that u TIME UR practice cases nicely.If u r in middle of PE during exam and u think tht 15 minutes are going to get over soon.......STOP PE in the middle in a gentle way.start counselling and tell SP what is going on?counselling is important.I forgot to do that in my first case AS they knocked on my door.
IN rest 11 SPs i finished evrything on time with counselling done in all cases.
I do not know whether i will pass or fail....but i know it was good experience to see 12 well behaved patients in 15 minutes each and now i might have become a good doctor.I love the way USMLE exams make u a better physician in their own way.Isn't it true digitaldoc?.
I liked Step 2 CS....but ofcourse i do not want to spend 1200 dollars again.....so pray for me my friends.
warm regards

Hi Dr.Digitaldoc! I am new to this forum. i would like to ask u few doubts regarding step 2cs. I am about to write my step1. after step1 which one is better to take step2cs or step2ck? will we face any difficulty if we take step 2cs prior to step2ck? is it ok if we prepare for around 1month to 45days for step2cs without taking step2ck? will we face any difficulty while studying?waiting for ur reply! millions of thanks in advance!

Thanks Guys for all your kind comments - about the last question - step 2 CS will not hamper ur Step 2 Ck much - it only needs 15 days of study. I would encourage you to take the Step 2 CS as soon as possible, since dates are difficult to get and may delay your application for residency later on..
congrats to eveyone for passing !

impingement syndrome - any condition that inflames the rotator-cuff muscles (such as repeated activity and contact with the acromion) results in an "impinged" muslce mass sandwiched between the acromion above and the bones below
Pain relief after an anesthetic injection under the acromion is considered confirmatory for impingement syndrome.
While asking the patient to perform any maneuver, remember that actions speak louder than words - "Could you move your shoulder out like this " for abduction..and do it urself to indicate how.. or simply say at the start "Mr. Allen, I will make various arm movements at my shoulder joint and I want you to copy my actions, to help me understand how sever e your problem is - shall we begin ? "

dear digital doc, today first time i saw ur blog and its so helpful.thanks for helping everyone.I have few doubts, In first aid step 2 cs, there are mini cases and major cases.so should we read only dd and workup? there are no questions and answers.so how to read this mini cases?..and in the usmle world book...in the back only some diagnoses are there with dd's but no questions..so should we prepare all these? and what is the dd for alcoholism?

Hi Rapport, thanks for the kind comments - u are right about doing the D/Ds and workups before u practice the cases. All mini-cases and major cases will have manythings in common - concentrating on the main idea of the case problem , use the D/Ds and workups specific to the case to guide you to you line of questioning. For example, a epigrastric pain can be a central theme with many variations presented as mini-cases - do the major cases first and prfactice them well , mini-cases can be read thru to find out anything different or specific to pay attention to. The same goes for UW
for alcoholism, all associated problems that the SP might have could be enlisted on the D/D - like cirrshois, anemia, gastritis etc. (of course must apply to ur case)
