Hello friends !
Thanks you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers...........I could feel the presence of God.........even the last page I flipped in the car before entering the exam hall ..........got me 2 questions right..............
Overall my opinion after taking the test is ..............it was hard........or not easy..........for me atleast.........but doable. You have to know your facts in your finger tips...........no time to decipher .........just recall! Time was just enough.........most questions were 5 liners followed by 4 or 5 lab values as another 4/5 lines followed by another line of question (sometimes with a picture!!). ...........Lots of 2 steps .....3 steps or 4 steps reasoning and integration..........I had a lot of anatomy and CT's (one of the bu** since I was talking so much about kicking)asking for gluteus medius identification (giving its action). Lots of anat on mine. thank fully it was my strong subject.........I escaped.........pharm, epidemiology, stats and path. Little mico and bio. Immuno quite a bit. Cardio was tested extensively........alright 10-15 Q Thyroid .......everything you can imagine.......about 5-8 Q .......Vitamins........some striaght forward clinical questions which my clinical knowledge helped .......ectopic pregnancy,, pulmonary embolism (Since I experienced it first hand  ) dupytrens contracture in alcoholic, asterixes etc.....exercise and muscle changes.........
Got to get back to work tomorrow!
Overall I dont know how I did ........"that what every body says" but I dont think I could have done better because this was my best!!!
Catch u soon.............. I couldnt have done without Him! Thank you Lord........thank you friends..............I am not going to worry about results.............come what may..........I did my best!Its over!!

All 4 old buddies in a row.............now that's a highlight in my Journal I had a dream last night of all questions running on the screen of my mind.......... Slept like a log.........and went to work late morning.........boss happy ..........everyone at work was like how did you do........and all excitement...............and then when everything settled down .........at night ...............I told my son...........there is nothing more to worry about...I am done with my exam ..........he says " well, you have to worry about your scores!!" ...........
I was like........"Thanks for reminding" Well he is the joy of my life and I am glad I can devote mytime to him from now on...........then I realized I got to get going with step2 CK.........Yup.............no slowing down...........not good for me at least........need to visit Mc D lots to get my coffee and spirit back!
Shwe.....I couldnt have done it without you.......my "twin" sister I call her because we just clicked.......she is really an angel in disguise on earth! Learned so much her during study together on skype sometimes.......such a selfless human being ! Hope something rubbed off on me....... Unique so sweet of you to start a thread for me for all prayers and wishes.........Mytime.........my all time favorite heroine for the push and whipping she gave me to start this journey.
Novak...........so sweet.....dont cry..........when I visit S. America I am going to visit you and give you one big hug!! Get going now.........no more excuses........I found that was main thing.........for long time procrastinators like me............I had enough excuses why I cant do.........when I stopped giving excuses and said to myself "no matter what.........whatever problems I have and will face.........I will keep going". Seems........great to have you back .........march now in full speed!
Arlete ........I am so glad I caught her on skype before exam........2 min chat as I had a lot to revise.......2 most useful tips .........take a break every block and empty bladder ........I also washed my face in cold water to freshen me up and walked int he corridor and did some stretching in the rest room which eased my tense muscles........I asked her what did she do when she got tired.........answer was curt but true "Doctors dont get tired.......they go on and one for several hours". Thanks arlete........you were a great help both for CS (to start me ) and Step 1 (for the final touch!)
Karime (her determination inspired me), GG( it is good whenever she stops by), Jhmd ( her prayers and support) , paheli, study 499(who gave me the initial push to become consistent in my studies), simon (another hard working soul with family and work and step 1 to handle), speaksoftly (her courage to do this exam despite all odss), zen08 ( her special visits), Little doc's cheer ups, drms pep ups................all helped to keep me alive during this stressful period! Tia inspired me with her hard work.....AD mjpana thanks for stopping by ........and match2010........you stern warn did wake me up on my goals - thanks!
The best advice came from my son the day before exam........."I think I am beginning to get a little scared !" I told him ...........He said " Just think it is like the mock exam you took" (because he got to grade my USMLE CD stuff. Children evolve so much wiser than us! I have hardly spoken to him in days.........though both of us are in same house..........he has got used to the fact that I was serious about this and cooperated so well........Hats off to this 9 yr old! He even gave me a hot water tub to soak my feet when I was doing mock exam!My best blessing !
Last but not the least..........My Lord was near me..........I knew it , I felt it then, now, during exam, (whenever I didnt know what the answer could be.......I would say.........now you click whatever you want !) I worked hard despite commitments.....health visits.....and so I am happy...........I know I did my best.........so I will take whatver the Lord feels I should have! He plans my whole life from moment I evolved.........so I am sure he has this carved out already! God bless all your efforts guys..........DO YOUR BEST.......God will do the rest........old saying but very true.. At our best girls and boys!
P.S. I am here to help , pep up, whip any one's bu**, anything to make us all win and get thru this tough phase. So do bug me if you need help! Off to step 2 CK.........Yeah!
