I passed my OSCE~ Hakushu~ Hakushu~ *Throws confetti and jacaranda flowers over self*
Now we wait for the one that really matters =__=;
To celebrate(?) the occasion, I have posted something I drew right after OSCEs when I fell into the med student's depression, usually diagnosable by the recurring thought "why am I doing med???" [1]
Clickie to follow me~
Yes, I know his left hand's a bit off, but I ain't drawing it again. Why does his arms look so much scrawnier on screen than it does on paper? Hmm...mystery of life.
[1] In fact, after this realisation I am impressed by people who went straight into med from high school just because their parents told them to. I don't know how I'd be able to pull through like that. Just before every exam I feel like I'm trying to cram three tonnes of sandbags into my tiny skull...and I don't know where this analogy is leading, but, I am nevertheless amazed at anyone who can end up liking med if they didn't like it in the first place. I'd say the same for law.

But for law, most of ur exams are open book so cramming isn't really needed (well mass note preparation is). But then the bad thing about this is, the exams are designed to be lot harder than if they were closed book. =(
I'm guessing those who actually like med is doing it combined with something else? I mean by doing it combined with something else, u actually get a break from doing so many med subjects..and hence don't find it too stressful? (I dunno this is the situation with law)

I don't mean so much the exam format but the "why am I putting myself through this" feeling and the sudden grass-is-greener-on-other-side-let's-look-for-a-TAFE-course feeling. Not just with the exams but surely there are parts of your course that stresses you out (e.g. graded group participation) and you knew if you didn't like law, you would soooooo not want to put yourself through it all. Like turning up to class at 7:30 am to watch patients getting tubes stuck up their ass.
There aren't many combined med courses available (and when I say there aren't many, I mean there's like what 10 places in USyd?) It's actually worse because you do that course before you start med (so you're not getting a break from med) and you're required to maintain distinction average, or you get kicked out from med.
