This week , the last one, seems worse waiting than the others . about the match trick , I really do not believe it , but who knows it??
Everybody could do it , the ones who did not match will tell if they could have been logged out . If yes, so it is BS.
Good Luck to all .

Defntly not the best week I am gonna have 
Hey Why dont we relate some of our Med School experiences.
During my 1st yr of Med school My friend went for his Physio exam (Viva voce) (Oral exam). As we had 2 week's of continuous exams none of us had slept for 2 weeks for more than 2 hours per night.
My groggy friend was asked the normal IOC pressure. Through the haze in his mind he thought "Hey its gonna be approx to the BP cause its a part of the body" and he said 120 mm Hg.
Luckily for him he had good scores in the previous exams which carried him through.

This sounds like fun!
My first ever experience of med school exams was horrendous, I din study the entire sem and the night before the exam din sleep to try and cover everything. Result- i fainted in the shower, somehow my friends managed to take me to college and made me meet the Head of the Anatomy Deptt. (hoping that he would let me take the test later on cos man...I was groggy like crazy). He asked me what I wanted and I reply- I wanna go to sleep! Guess what...I took the test half asleep and scored the highest ever on an Anat test

Replied " Malledius , Nicudius and , Stapeidius "

dont know how far this is true..but it is definiyely down in college lore
viva q (desperate examiner eager to pass candidate in surgery)-
"ok, last question, what are the blood groups you know of?"
candidate's relieved answer -
"A, B, C & D"

my first anatomy viva voce, i was so frightened cos i had heard horrid things about the visiting professor. he aked me to tell him the 'borders of the ascilla'. and i thought to myself, i am done for. ascilla, what bone is that in the skull? i stood there in terror and he repeated himself. the third time, he asked me, you mean you have never heard of the ascilla? it just struck me that he had a problem with pronunciation and meant 'axilla'. i started screaming, axilla, axilla. i know the axilla.

We all seem to have so much in common First year of rMed school It was always a "mad" time for all of us.
My Step 1 exp was a mad one too. Slept only 2 hours before the exam.
that was one of the most craziest exp in my life.

I took up a teaching job at a medical school in my country just fresh after graduating to earn some extra cash and I was incharge of the Anatomy Practical exam for the X-ray identification section. So I had this young first year noobie come in and sit down all confident. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible considering i had just been out of the same sitiuation not a long time ago. So i put up an AP view of the the chest on the light board and asked him the view I was depicting and he confidently said Antero-posterior of the chest.......I was impressed and then I made the mistake of asking him how would you take a postero-anterior Xray view and he equally promptly without batting an eyelid lunged forward and snapped out the AP X-ray view flipped it over and stuck it back in the board.....and beamed a knowing smile at me. I had to quickly fill my mouth with a glass of water from laughing out loud. He still passed.....!
