concert went mostly swimmingly - awesome solos by julien, sally (go sal!!! the brahms was excellent!!!), matt/kat/julie and linda ;p sure missed out if u didn't come along...
today's exam - hmmmz... went better than i anticipated actually... to be honest, wasn't really sure what to expect or how i would go... had been warned abt the patient with a long history with multiple past admissions and millions of treatments that don't work... coz they're so difficult to interview, examine and present in the time allocated, and apparently most medical students fall right into the traps laid bare with a case like this (if u want tips on how to successfully negotiate such a patient, will be happy to write something on that in maybe my next post or sth)... and guess what - i get one of those patients!!! not his fault of course, God bless him, and really wishing him all the best in finding an effective, stable treatment for his illness...
managed to present the full case in 10 minutes (yay!!!) and answer most of the examiners' questions... a couple of them were pretty obscure for a student who comes out clueless from a 6-week psych crash-course (that's pretty much how it felt)... but oh well... nothing i can do abt it now... but overall, quite ok with how i went, i suppose... praise and thanx to God for pulling me thru!!! ;p
anywayz... - i think it's jus reminded me that, thru the difficulties, challenges and criticism, these are jus some of God's way of refining us into the people He has set aside for Himself... ;p God amazes me, that He can use the things we dislike in this world, and make them positive influences on us!!!
now to look forward to a weekend of relaxation ;p
1 Peter 1:3-9
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Thanks for that post Dave, I can see much clearer having read it. I'll keep on praying.
Yeah, if you have time could you post that long case strategy for difficult cases?
