why do you worry?
1. you lose 1 score
2. you gain point only on pt. physical checklist
4. if it was relevant to the case?
5. in patient note it doesn't matter
6. a little? it happens to everybody
I think you did great job.

I also think you did fine if those are the only mistakes you made. From what I hear you should still have passed with flying colors. My mistakes are as follows:
1) Definitely let my nerves show in a few cases that led to some awkward pauses.

2) Ran out of time in one pt encounter kind of... It was at the very end, I literally just didn't finish my last sentence answering a question for the pt, but got my summary in before her question.

3) Ran out of time in one note, at the very end, just didn't put all my diagnostic studies. But didn't get in an obvious one.

4) I didn't proof read, but I am sure I had some spelling errors when trying to type quick.

5) Counseled the difficult patients, but can't tell if they actually didn't like my presentation or if that was just their character being a jerk.

6) Skipped some PE in one pt. to leave time for summary.

Overall my biggest concern is that I was nervous. It messes with my ability to just act calm and build rapport. I feel like the patients are judging me the whole time (because they are) and it shows.

Anyone think I still have a chance?

I honestly felt the whole time I was there that I had close to 2k on the line, and the future of me and my family.... I don't know how they expect me to act like myself with that much stress on my shoulders.
