Good Grief?!!
Well, I didn’t post anything for a while, because I felt it was unfair to do so when I might not even have passed the written Final FRCA part.
But I did.
Now all I have to do is pass the viva voce exam and I’ll be done….hahahaha! Oh how I laugh.
All uphill from here then.
My friend Tasha N. pointed out that having found out you passed the SAQ/MCQ gave you an extra confidence boost that might make you feel “Oh well, I can coast it from here on in”.
NOT the case at all.
I have just spent a few hours sitting with a clinical viva book and going “Yes, but I would anaesthetise him, because I’ve anaesthetised patients like that in real life” and then finding that, actually, the book says “No you jolly well don’t“. Ah. Okay.
Anyway, I think as fellow blogger James S. points out over at Passing the Final, the most important thing is probably to talk lots.
By the way, if you want a nice sieve for differential diagnoses, try this one “VINDICATE“.
Happy revising….
