We finished gastrointestinal today, 28 final questions, and we had another zen moment, we've had many, we have FUN together in addition to studying HARD.
Today we had a question that only sadist test-makers would think up. it was at the end of a fact pattern as we always get, like in the bar exam, and normally the question calls for the diagnosis or the pharma agent to prescribe. I noticed that in this question, on a woman with a history of gall disease, the question asked which drug should NOT be prescribed.
"Ana, I noticed this."
"Ah-hah" (she was researching as we do with every question).
"Honey, look at the question, 'what drug should NOT be given."
"Ah-hah", researching.
She read off the way that the drug choice answers work.
"Ana, this is like a double negative, it's fucking with our heads."
"Ah- hah", (adderall focused).
She chose. The wrong answer.
"See, it called for the drug NOT to be given."
Slapped the desk with her hand and turned to me and said, betrayed, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!"
"Is that what you were trying to tell me for 10 minutes while I researched?"
"Yes, dear", and we both laughed till we almost cried.
