1st Failure in Clinical School

I have just received my 1st failure in Clinical School. Or should I say my 1st and 2nd failure.. sigh.

Results of our last MCQ paper was released today. I collected it and i found out that I failed both my Obstetrics and Pediatrics MCQ paper. How was this possible? I was really sure I passed my Obstetrics and I was sure I would probably pass my Pediatrics. Even if i didn pass my pediatrics, I didn expect myself to do so badly. i got a C- for Obstetrics and a D+ for Pediatrics. (Passing mark is a C)

Sigh. This is sad. I think its because of the True-False section. It always pulls down our marks and causes us to do badly. the good news is, True-False questions will be completely replaced with One Best Answer next semester. I hope this change would include us in Semester 8 and not just the juniors in Semester 6. I really really really hope so. And I speak for most of my batch mates too. Get rid of true false questions please.

Obstetrics

Obstetric posting started out highly stressed, (augmented even more by EOS stress) highly intense and alot of pissed off moments. Nevertheless, I can confidently say that Obstetrics is one of the best and my best loved clinical posting so far. =)

A friend asked me why I like Obs. Honestly speaking, I don't know. Its just something that attracts me. Something that catched my interest. It's something that I know I should be doing. Like a calling. The same reason I'm in med school. hahaha

Perhaps this will be what I will be doing in the future after all. As MZ said, I am going to "marry" all the woman in the Obstetric Ward. hahaha

MRCOG. Keeping my fingers crossed. May this work out well.
