Wow, that was hard
Well that was a real wake up call! I have had it fairly easily on the study front for the past few months, from Texas to New York, to GP in the Hawkes Bay and CCU at the Hutt. That all changed today with my end-of-medicine test. Honestly one of the hardest tests I've sat for a while, and yes, much harder than the 5thyr ones.

I really enjoyed doing GP, having learnt a lot from my experience form the states. I actually did really well in it.

CCU had it's own challenges- surviving numerous amounts of pre-assessments and learning how to manage common heart related problems. There was always this underlying feeling that I wouldn't quite be up to managing a patient on my own yet- even at a house surgeon level. This was somewhat cruelly exposed today- that nasty feeling of I kinda know what's going on, but not enough to differentiate which is the BEST answer.

Oh well, at least everyone else found it hard too.
