Oral examination or maybe the whole clinical year left huge impact on
me. Two papers passed. I have not given my 100% this far.
Simple question, “Before that, do you know what is esotropia?”
I did not succeed to double read the last chapters. All came out blank.
I didn’t dare to use whatever left in subconscious mind. All I know was that I
didn’t double read that chapter. Hesitantly,
“…divergent squint…”
That nasty word, ‘divergent’. Such a humiliation to Ophthalmology and
lecturers who taught us. To think again, I’ve memorized this too many times not
to get confused.
eSotropia and
eXotropia.
‘S’ comes before ‘X’. Hence, 'convergent before divergent' was how I remembered it.
Seriously, I deserved “Are you dumb?” but they were so patient
with student like me. There are more stupid answers but I am too embarrassed to
share. I believe other classmates got better oral exam marks and moments than
me.
I AM AN INSULT TO
MEDICINE.
p/s: Lepas tu merayau-rayau kat member yang belum masuk exam sebab
nak tahan nangis. Dahlah an insult, an annoyance pulak. Aduh.
