Faraym, check your pm, you might find it helpful. Let me know if it still works, and ask Feyza if she needs it too.

Keep it up ladies, I'm watching your from step 1 land. nod

Faraym...like the day you told me about Goljan step 1...Im about to leave my library and I wanted to check neverland b4 I close my laptop ...10 min b4 the library closes and I go home and eat my pizza smiling face so its 8:50 PM here smiling face wow ! such a loong Q-full day !

I will fly to the US on november 9th and will get the DVDs then sad no DVDs now ...

keep it up Feyza.together we can do it.
faraym!i happen to have goljan's audio for step2 and it is CRAP.trust me on that.it is step1 made concise and come to think of it,we cant expect the same guy to teach everything from patho to gynae to obs to paeds and ultimately psychiatry toogrin afterall,he is only human.he is a great patho teacher but unfortunately paediatrics and obstetrics arent his cup of tea.

  #232

Hey Multifactorial, After a long time ! So you finally found some time wink

Thanks for the advice ,I dont have a lot of time and I am getting really confused ,how and what to study ,Kaplan itself is looking like a huge mountain. sad So far I have just finished cardio and have flipped pages of other subjects. sad

Fortunately my cousin mailed me her tungsten e, so now im back to reading UW notes on the fly grin... I usually jot down on the memo pad the topics that encountered in UW, then read the UW explanations again on my PDA. It is the only way.shaking head My FA is filled with notes by now. Im having a hard time with Psych in FA, thoughmad. Still have Pulmo and Renal left and then I'm finished with IM. the following week I'll be munching ER Surgery, Ethics, OB-Gyne and Ped. Gosh Im so scared. I feel like eating the whole book.shocked

Nite guys.cool

ok...this is important concept about abdominal pain :

think where on his abdomen the patient is talking about...lets say RLQ ...crampy ...
then think (WHEN TO DECIDE ABOUT THE BEST DIAGNOSTIC TEST) whats there ?? RLQ--------->RC... cecum...then terminal ileum... some yummy eaten and digested muffins from Siglenn,shown in blue in the attached pic of mine grin

ok then think...how can I see this area best ???

of course now its easy to chose Ba X-ray


likewise...sigmoidoscopy...colonoscopy...for any GI test...think where the patient is describing OR where does the explained clinical scenario involve most common...and how can I see there best nod

your first attachment is too small to see, and the second one is a "X"

but if your doing the work up for acute Right lower quadrant pain, Abd xray will not be your initial test or your best test.

the Q stems already excludes the initial tests as (-) ...what I wanted to point out here was not the first or the best ...
