Did you know that you can relive years of residency within a period of hours?
It’s true! Recently, this Fool was taking the dreaded American Board of Internal Medicine certifying exam, and so many questions jog your memory: the attending who compares patient positioning in the ICU to a BBQ rotisserie, Mr Smith who never took his blood pressure medications, Mr Jones who presented to the ER with acute renal failure and glomerulonephritis, The time you put a femoral line in a 99 year old woman with platelets of 9,000. So funny that a test can make your whole residency “life” flash in front of your eyes!
Glad that’s over!!
