Sean just passed his general surgery oral boards! WHOOP, WHOOP!
He *swore* to me on Tuesday that he thought he failed and was downright despondent and inconsolable. He said the examination was comprised of three rooms, one of which he utterly tanked. He said the first question in that room was about trauma to a geriatric patient, a population in which he hasn't seen in two years and trauma being a subspecialty in which he loathes. After this first crappy scenario, he reported feeling just like a deer in the headlights and the rest of the questions just went downhill from there.
Fortunately, one must pass two out of three rooms. :huh:
He was just beside himself and all upset about the prospect of having to go through this again. Plus, these babies don't come cheap. Now it's on to Peds surgery
written boards. I can't even be sad that even now there are still more hurdles at this late stage in the training game.
