Within 15 seconds of the beginning of the case presentation I knew I had this one figured out. Literally 4 minutes later the examiner is smiling from ear to ear, asks if I want to do anything else? As I'm smugly self-satisfied a t the terrific job I just did of course I say no, and leave. With the doorknob still in my hand, door closed behind me, my brain says 'hey, did you want to do a physical exam?'. I considered opening the door and doing it, but was way too embarrassed to go back in. I passed, so it must've been one of the 'test' cases. So, you're normal! For an EM guy. I was in the last one.

Also, you've been tagged for this meme. I think you already did one of these, but I don't have many friends so I'm sending it to you. Like a chain letter. Break it and break your mother's back. Or something like that. The rules: 1. Post these rules before you give your facts. 2. List 8 random facts about yourself. 3. At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them. 4. Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they’ve been tagged.
