You Learn Everything Until You Know Nothing

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

It has been a while since I last had this feeling after exam. The feeling of you know that you did not do well. The last time was during Paediatric final clinical exam back in fifth year. It is painful yet a beneficial feeling. It brings me back to the point where I just started to learn. It makes me realise that the things that I don’t know are more than the things I know.

I wonder why the doctor kept asking me, “Are you finished with the general examination?” after I had completely presented to her, findings on face, limbs and vital signs. 

I missed mental function, body built, appearance, colour and decubitus! (very basic)

Confident and mental preparation are not enough to walk into exam with prosper. Proper checklist should be made as to not miss anything.

The Best Milk, Chocolate And Juice In The World

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم For me, the best milk in the world is Bukhaira or Egyptians pronounce it bi-khi-ruh, the best chocolate is Flutes and the best juice is orange juice branded Beyti or sometimes Enjoy is pretty good but I rather choose Beyti. If somebody wants to cheer me up, it's more than enough for him/her to give me these things. I will surely be very happy but if you see any homeless or people who are more in need than me, please prioritize them and ignore me.
