Busy!

Wow!
I was soo busy studying, I totally forgot to blog!

We’ve got some catching up to do!

12/01 Pharmacology

Exam went pretty good, was not that hard and I already got the result : 17 for theory (guess I was being too much to the point…) and 19 for exercises, what brings me to an even 17. Don’t get me started about the fact that the exercises count for that less! Even worse, a person X has 17 and 18,5 and she gets 18!!
How’s that freaking possible?
Nevertheless, 17 is a good result.

15/01 Physiology

Exam looked very hard at first, but apparently I did a very good job (after correcting some of the multiple choice questions): I got a 19 (endocrine) and a 17,50 (kidney)… Now I knew for sure I had nothing wrong for that second point (kidney), so I kindly asked to review that point. Indeed, it was a mistake and i got a nice 20!

That makes Bram : 2 VUB : 0

20/01 Microbiology

Aha! My favorite! I studied and studied and I really haven’t studied that hard in my life and I’ve never known a course this well.
But the exam wasn’t difficult at all!! Really disappointing if you spend hours and hours studying… Oh well, no result yet, but it will be good (unless I’m being too much to the point, AGAIN..)

23/01 Medical Genetics

This was today, I studied kinda hard, even though I knew the exam wasn’t hard, based on the questions of the last years. But I didn’t want to take the risk.
The exam hasn’t changed luckily, still the same kind of questions and I think I got all the multiple choice questions right and most of the normal questions too…

About that ‘being too much to the point’ stuff: I really hate it that you’ve got to answer a question and give much much more than is needed! What’s the point of training doctors not being short? We can’t tell a patient: “Well, you probably have disease A, but it could also be B, C, D and oh yeah, also E or F, and maybe even G…..”

Oh come on! Stick to the point please!

Now I’ve got a lot of time for the last one : Pathophysiology of the heart and lungs on Thursday.
