Wake me up!


Please tell me this is just a dream
When i wake up, everything is gonna be fine

I experienced dyspnoea, palpitation, tremor, sweating, dry mouth, tachypnoea, abdominal pain,chills....all the signs and symptoms you will come across in Oxford Handbook Of Clinical Medicine but i'm medically fit and healthy, no family history of heart disease, lung disease, liver disease or whatsoever. So where did they come from??

I saw SLE, trabecular pleural effusion, cytochrome p450, brucellosis, sialadenitis, medication for acromegaly instead of angina pectoris, stroke, hep B, chronic renal failure, anaphalaxis and tuberculosis. But i remember Dr Lalli saying "common things happen commonly" so focus on the diseases you will most likely to come upon clinically. So why did i see so many unfamiliar things on the paper?

The only explanation is this is not real, right?

How come i still cannot wake up from it no matter how hard i try to pinch myself??

omg... I would consider them cruel for medic students, whatmore for dental students who crammed in medicine in 1 month.

One down the sink. More reasons to do well in the other papers! Ganbate.

Agreed with xxx, some of the questions (I saw in your friend's blog) are pretty challenging even for med students! The examiner must have been out of their mind. :P
