Mockboard
I had my first mockboard today and it was very humbling. I missed ten sites of calculus. I really thought I got everything. I felt around with my explorer before I submitted her and I obviously didn't know how to feel for it. Prof. Hanson said she was a hard patient but I think I really just suck at scaling. In my defense though she bleed a ton and I couldn't see a whole lot with the hand instruments. She told me I wasn't going deep enough. So I failed my first mockboard and got a really low score. The only positive part about this is I hope I can only get better.

oh my gosh Heidi i totally feel for you! I had the same thing happen today. But I missed more then that! And it was by prof Hanson as well. I felt so terrible about it and now that patient has to come back just to finish up the spots that are left. I really wish I could have finished her rather then take up another clinic session just for that. I'm sure you did great and that your patient really was way hard though so don't feel like you suck! We've all been there. Sometimes its just a bad day i guess.
