So, my alarm went off at 8.40am this morning, jarringly reminding me that I still have tons of things to do. Oh hell who cares I thought, and went back to sleep only to wake up an hour later by the incessant beeping of my phone. Ah.. Saturday morning..

Next week, I have my fourth and final case write-up due. I have seen my patient once before her surgery the day before yesterday, and although ideally I should have examined all of her systems then, I hadnt managed to. =.= Argh!! The clock seemed to be playing tricks on me lately, spinning faster and faster before I could catch up. MSK attachment has real compact schedule consisting of tons of tutorials, clinics and operating theatre times. I am yet to find my own self-study time to bridge the discrepancy between the requisite knowledge and of my own. Believe me, day by day, this discrepancy seemed to streeeeetch longer and longer. :s

Yes, I am overwhelmed.



I have my osces next week. About the only thing I know about it is that there will be 10 stations. The convenor and examiners alike have been pretty elusive about the details of these stations, other than stating that 'oh there will be the usual history taking, examining patients, looking at radiographs, a bit of pharmacology and stuffs' - which really, when you get down to it, they are not telling you anything at all. :s Well, I guess, medicine has always been full of surprises.

I have my presentation next week too. A 20 minute presentation on fracture of the neck of femur, followed by a question-and-answer session. The set guidelines have not been told to us, although words has it that the marker has this long list of things he will be looking for in the presentation. I am all psyched out for the talk.



So, yes, this weekend will be full of revisions and mock-osces practices and intellectual discussions surrounding that, fueled by lots and lots of coffees. And this, is only the fourth week of the first semester. What a laugh. Haha.
