  #102

I was scoring about 70s at the begining, then it went higher, I solved a big part of UW first so that helped of course..

Last 10 days schedule, well there ain't any..READ,READ, & READ, go through UW points & wrong qs..

GL for all of us ISA


  #103

What does brocha mean

  #113

nod
i don't knwo i feel am taing risk by taking Ck in 10 days ,am not prepared.but i feel life s all abt taking resks.tis feeling gives lil courage.
tomrow 's plan start with peds K,and UW q's in between,i won't waste any time now ISA.

  #114

keep posting ur accomplshmenst's will motivate each other,thanks cirus

  #115

is LDL values changed,like UW says start statins in CAD @ 130 acc to FA @ 70 LDL level



  #116

OBGYN------>done, Bostatist---->done.

Today Surgery (I like it) & general Pediatrics..

LDL values didn't change

For Pts with 2 risk factor or a cardiac problem:

LDL< 100 but treatment starts when above 130, with a target of 100..

Pt with 1 risk factor:

LDL <160--> If < 180--> diet ristriction only / if >180---> Drugs

screening is total & HDL cholesterol.

Treatment primarily depends on LDL (if not high, don't treat HDL)

hope thet help




  #117

Let me put it this way, I used to like surgery & think I know it well (88% on UW from 1st time), but not anymore, I forgot A LOT of things, will finish it today what ever it takes, even if i don't sleep. I'm a coffee addict anyway so i guess more coffee todaysad

How about u Bro, how is it goin..

Oh i think u might know my friends family as his mother is very famous, esp in medicine, She was the minister of Medicine in Andrah Paradesh (hope i wrote it right), her name is Sanakalya Aruna Shankar!!


  #118

cirus u can call me sis(am a girl),and i don't know the lady,she is not that famous,lot of docs there.

i did today CVS peds,now doing respi,hopefully i will cover alot tomorow,
its cycle of forget ,rember,but there r few points that sticking to head all the time,since exam is close whatever we read today will stay.
nod
so next week 's plan is peds+IM Kaplna +UW. then i will ive in peacesad


  #119

Oops, sorry about that bro thing..nyway, good for u, keep it up & lets make a deal, no sad faces from both of us, will keep up with enthusiasm & cheerfullness however nasty & harsh it will be.

Today i overlooked surgery in the morning, now will solve all ped qs, then go over general pediatrics, then if im still alive, will do opthalmology & ENT (to be honest im just trying to fit them anywhere as i mostly don have time for them)

7 more days of studying, then the exam on the 8th daygrin

ISA we will do great..GLwink


  #120

hey cirus ,i like ur spirit, wud u like to discuss nbme 3,like Dr virgo doing,raised eyebrow??

i started Peds UW q's,doing test mode 2 blocks then will read all explns patienetly ,will write down,points i constantly forget. will do peds kaplan HY chaps.nod

my exam is on 24,how abt u? studeis r going fast and smooth now.

  #121

What a day...

Today first I ran over surgery notes, then I solved my wrong Ped Qs, then I solved all Ped again on UW, my head is pounding with anger & exhaution, time to start reading..But i'm happy i was able to finish all qs, as i don't have time for ped qs tom

If u would post qs, i would be glad to try & answer them, & discuss them with u..

Will keep on fighting, ISA victory will be on my side..

Who dares wins....& I DAREnod


  #122

Hi guys----Back to journal for final touch---Thanks a lot for your support! Don't worry CIRUS----You will definitely do well---Based on my exam experience the key is to stay calm! Be cool!

  #123

Rise & Shine, new day, didn get much to sleep though, but have to get used to wake up early..

Today the silly stuff, Opthal, ENT, Biostatist, poisonin, Preventive medicine, & Dermatology (Wanna get rid of these things early, so ill be free for IM), butt after reading Ped first..Finished reading qs, died infront of the notes, but will read them NOW

Thanks sprint123, appreciate ur support..GL wid ur scoresgrin

Hope ur day was good Shaina


  #124

Yesterday was miserable, I was in a bad mood, worried about the exam & stuff as this is my first exp & everybody makes me feel I'm facing the beast..

Got over it today,Started IM rev for 5 days leaving only 1 day before the exam for the stuff I always forget..

So for today its Psychiatry & ID

Where r u Shaina, Hope ur ok, Don give up, push backnod

GL for both of us ISA


  #125

Always didn like ID, just finished a block of incorrect qs,66% mad thats not a sad face, thats an angry one), well there r 2 ways to look at this, I have fixed 66% of my mistakes in that chapter, or i syill miss a lot in it..

will pick the first choice, time to read my mistakes again
