hey friend.. i dont think we've had the pleasure of meeting yet.. but now we do.  how is your prep going. In my personal exp (took step 6 days ago).. the last few days is when i kicked myself for wasting away the time beforehand. I hope you acquire the wisdom to foresee the future where you kick yourself at a later time which will help you focus now.. jus to keep ya sharp..
1) pxt is on limited diet of oatmeal and grain. one day nail on the table pokes her leg. The wound is taking longer than it usually does but she doesnt complain of the duration. whats most likely cause of the delay. (vitamin q)
2) whats the only imino acid that does the bending of other amino acids.
3) pxt has serotonin syndrome. what vitamin is deficient and because of that whats the dx? hint: presents with loose water stools, confused and memory loss, rash on the hand.

HEY FU.....Thanks for dropping in buddy!I didnt get a chance to wish you for your exam....but I do wanna wish you a great score!!!!You are right....should come to senses now!Scares me to think.....I'll be crying in the last few days before D-day for time.......struggling to do last minute revisions(always happens with me)........Thanks....I really should mange time well now....and start kicking myself now
Answers o your qs
1)Vitamin C?:Cereal diet, poor wound healing.....
2)Proline: is an Imino acid,disrupts alpha helix of proteins
3)Tryptophan: dx:Pellagra
serotonin is made from tryptophan.And symptoms of diarrhea,dementia and dermatitis(Pellagra) can be caused by deficiency of Tryptophan in diet,coz it forms niacin
well tell me if I'm wrong.
And thanks again...

Yup.. you got all 3 rite. let me know if youre interested in similar q's.. jus to think outside the box from time to time yet hy. 1 q was actually on the exam.
Keep Rocking on..

Hey AD..just the thing I need now....I mean "ANTIDEPRESSANT"....coz have been feeling for the past two days..........
Studies not going anywhere....dont know why! And I have so little time....exactly 3 months and I'm not even thru with my first reading!
I had made a decision when I started my prep, not too let any negative thought creep into my mind...so when I feel and I close my books ,take a break ,go to my favorite cafe.and with a hot cup of cappuccino I read my fovorite motivator 'Robin Sharma ' s books..........But for the past 2 days I have been literally living in there!!!!!!!!!!!! ......
Well I have made my last and final schedule .....I put it on the wall beside my bed to keep me .......and snap me out of sleep!!!!!!!Also one near my TV to remind me that I should not be wasting time watching something thats not gonna take me any closer to my goals.......
I'll post my schedule here to keep me on track.....
ITS WAR ..TIME................

I thought I wud be able to finish one read by Jan......
Well if everything goes according to schedule.......I wud be done with 1 reading of all subjects + effectively(and hopefully ) 2 reading of Anat(exept Head n Neck and Ul And LL...oops, wud take atleast 1/2 day) ,2 readings of Physio, 2 readings of Biochem, and 2 reads of pharm! But I havent added 'breaks' in my schedule,, and I know there will be off days and low energy days....but I will have to stay at it!
There wud be only 2 month for UW and KAPLAN Q BANK and FA and final rapid revision! God!............
It looks scary and seemingly impossible.......but I have made a decision to chase my dreams like crazy..........and I will....as if there was no tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
