Been hanging around here at the LRU since about 9:45 after finishing the Legal Med prelims examination. Wasn't as hard as I expected, but kinda challenging din naman, especially since 'di naman ako nakapagaral ng mabuti.. =P It was a short exam, only 50 items!! I just hope my luck held up today as I guessed my way through roughly half of the test...
I also took another test of sorts when I got here.. It's a kind of aptitude test which matches your "attitude" to particular fields of specialization. You can take the test at this site: http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/
The results showed that the number #1 speciality match for me was Endocrinology (ugh), followed closely by Derma (Santa Banana!)
Longtime favorites Neuro, Patho, and Gastro were placed at 5, 6, and 17 respectively...
This got me thinking.. "Accurate ba talaga 'to? I mean, Internal Med and Neurology have always been frontrunners on my list, but Derma?... Bagay ba ang ugali ko sa Derma?... Hmm, kung sabagay, pogi naman ako.. bwahahaha!! " Joke lang! =P
Below is the complete list and rankings:
1 - endocrinology
2 - dermatology
3 - hematology
4 - rheumatology
5 - neurology
6 - pathology
7 - radiology
8 - med oncology
9 - radiation oncology
10 - nephrology
11 - allergy & immunology
12 - pulmonology
13 - neurosurgery
14 - nuclear med
15 - occupational med
16 - physical med & rehabilitation
17 - gastroenterology
18 - general internal med
19 - cardiology
20 - infectious disease
21 - aerospace med
22 - preventive med
23 - otolaryngology
24 - ophthalmology
25 - psychiatry
26 - urology
27 - emergency med
28 - colon & rectal surgery
29 - thoracic surgery
30 - plastic surgery
31 - pediatrics
32 - general surgery
33 - obstetrics/gynecology
34 - orthopaedic surgery
35 - anesthesiology
36 - family practice
Ooops! Gyne na!!!

Dermatological goodbyes and straddling tables..
At long last, I'm finally rid of Derma!.. (I hope)
We just had our Derma final examinations today. Whew! For a one quarter subject, it can sure take out a lot from you.. The test itself wasn't really that hard. I'd say the difficulty would be at par with the sample examinations that were going around.. At least they're consistent. Boom ran into a bit of bad luck today, coming in too late for the exam. But he'll be able to take it with the other section next quarter naman, yung lang nga, there's the hassle of studying again for something you've already prepared for a quarter ago..
During one of our classess, I realy couldn't help but notice one professor who had the habit of straddling the table when he's in the midle of the lecture. Sinasampay niya yung isang leg nya over the side of the table. Think of it like half-sitting on the edge of a table, but in reverse.. hehehe I don't think there's any malice involved, and we respect that teacher a lot.. It's just that we find it pretty amusing.. hahaha =P
Was supposed to have another exam today in surgery.. an exam which I didn't prepare for.. But as my good luck would have it (which has tided me over for the past week or so), the exam was moved and spending my time chilling out at the LRU in lieu of studying became a good move..
I feel so tired lately.. Sobrang hirap gumising in the mornings. I guess it's a combination of lack of sleep and the cold weather. And I guess there's still a little bit of that Christmas vacation hangover. =D
