I know these 2 causes..
but do u see such cases in ER commonly...
I thought this must be something else than hypoventilation and high altitude..

kaplan CVS says SAH OR ICH causes prolong QT why?
is this just due to bradycardia result from increased ICP?

getting a great score 1. first make sure u pass .2. common diagnosis are commonly correct 3. practice all different q banks 4. pray regularly. 5. by trying too be too good u may land up too bad 6.before the exam (last week )dont do usmle world do kaplan it will keep your confidence up .7. half the battle is mind game regards drkid P.S. in last week juggle the q bank /when u fizzle out( there are times u feel why was i ever so good in studies that i had to become a doctor / u want to run out ) in the exam /u tell yourself u were recently scoring( THATS WHY DONT DO TOUGH questions in the week before the exam) high// PRAY and u will soon be right back in the TEST

For HSP question:

okay..
let me be the one to start...

in a case of suspected spinal cord compression
1)what is the next best step in management? Treatment!! Dexamethasone.
2)what is the best initial test? Spinal X-Ray
3)what is the best diagnostic test? MRI
4)what the most sensitive test? MRI
5)what is the most accurate test? MRI

Finally got to that material... good question wink

Ok... another question: a 24 years old woman comes to you because of flank pain. You do a urianalysis and shows hematuria, so you suspect a calculus. What is your next step??
