post-OSCE

As mentioned in the previous posts, I will continue the rambling about WW1 or rather specifically the fall of the Ottoman Empire and how that epoch should be pondered upon by fellow Muslims and take heed its messages after I've sat my OSCE. Unfortunately, I think the topic is too hard for me to explain. I need to do extensive reading before I embark on writing such topic. Plus its kinda serious. Intrigued? I hope you are. Read up on the topic and leave a comment. I would like to know too.

In case you are not associated with medical student, then its probably right to say that you do not know what OSCE is. OSCE = Objectively Structured Clinical Examination. It consists of a number of stations where in each station a participant would perform a task/answer quiz and after completing that particular station, he moves on to the next one. That is the common way medical student are examined. Apparently, OSCE also means = Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. For those who dont know me, I do not have any association with that OSCE. Having mentioned that, I remembered an anaesthetist pointed to us in a lecture of a common but neglected health problem: acronymophilia. Those afflicted with such condition suffers from excessive use of acronyms and abbreviations. Symptom usually depends on the person's occupation. For vets, they will utter words such as: BDSD, DSTO. The latter is more serious = Dog Smarter Than Owner.
