BnW is good but the catch is that it is very concise and accurate so you have to remember each and every sentence which is indeed a difficult task

still i have to work on management .when i do the questions i can right away tell the diagnosis but when it comes to what investigation comes first i have a problem,spically the CT,MRI,Echo,esophogoscopy,endoscopy and so on
so i have to work on this things really hard.

  #15

my journal here i come againnodnod
yestrday as i said started my second read in uw it is good since i am doing it the second time marked ones,even though i marked areas i was weak so i am fighting to grasp it.
My other plan was to prepare my own cards so that i can see it in my last trying to include difficult areas spically managemant.
also started reading my notes but i think i am going to keep that for my final revision and now i am going to combine Kaplan notes and uw.
my plan for today is to do my uw revision
