Tomorrow is the end of my pediatrics rotation. Just had the "real" test today. Still have to take the shelf test tomorrow because it's required for all medical students. But it doesn't generally factor into my grade unless I don't just pass or I am on the borderline between grades and happen to get 2 standard deviations above average.

Written test for real today. I think I did fine. It's also not necessarily a large part of our grade. Still, now that I'm thinking back, I missed some things. It's hard to think and write up everything with some of the really broad questions they had. It was things like: "4 year old with fever and cough of 1 week. What is your differential and what labs/tests/imagery would you want and why and how would you treat?"

Seriously? I'd like to get more of a history and maybe do a physical before I go into the gigantically large differential for cough and fever.

Anyway, I <3 guts. Plush organs. Cute. It could be good toys for children's hospitals. What kid doesn't want a plush version of their defective organ. Am I right? Just kidding. Still, it's a toy and medically related. These are kind of like those organ figurines I found a few months ago. Who knew people liked organs as toys so much? I mean...medical people who want to buy these things can't be that big of a market right?
