Hi to all:
I have my CS next week. I have a question:
When we are going to tell SPs about our DDs, should we tell them the complications of all simultaneously? Or do we need to tell about the complications of each on patient's demand only like if he wants to ask about waht is going to happen to him?????
Like If I am going to tell about Migraine that I have couple of possibilities in my mind like migraine which is period attack of headache one or both sides of head.....it can be frustrating and could interfere with your day-to-day life.............does it sound weird?
Please help me, thanks
I also have another quick question: Do they provide us with erasable pads to write on it while taking notes from patients or with sheets of paper? Thanks

Okay take my advice not on merit because i havent given my CS yet...but I have done a ton of reserach on the exam. If you have a copy of First Aid the first part details the entire exam in vivd description.
To answer your questions I suppose complications need not be discussed until the Sp asks a challenging question...like in an abd pain case he asks "Could it be cancer?"....then you need to be non-commital yet do not hide the possibility from him but you need not go into details because there isnt enough time. Just reaasure and be honest...thats what is marked not your ability to explain complications.
No you do not get erasable board but pen and white sheets....one for each case...which is kind of rough use....because its the final Blue Patient note that you submit. But you also surrender all notes that you took during the SP interview (I think you do but am not sure)....
Hope this helps.
