  3. GENERAL SUGGESTIONS • What is the exam? What are the findings? • You have seen one like this in your review! • Obvious findings - long DDX or detailed discussion? • Aunt Minnie? It looks like…but could be…. • Corner of film type trick that looks normal? • Have a script in mind so when your mind goes blank… • Usually you get no history until you ask • Don’t ask until you have run through your script • An example of a category script…don’t step INIT • Infection…bacterial, viral, fungus, immune sys… • Neoplasm…benign, malignant, pseudotumor… • Inflammation…arthritis, collagen vasc, drugs… • Trauma/Other…extrinsic, mechanical, rupt, vasc…

  4. GENERAL SUGGESTIONS • Pick a category and pursue it until exhausted or the examiner directs you away from it • Don’t jump to another category quickly, it may take you down the wrong path…“this could be tumor…” • When exhausted go to other categories, say “this looks inflammatory but could be trauma or infection or neoplasitic…”; “I would recommend…” • Couch your discussion in terms of assumed clinical findings…“if this pt is immune compromised I would consider…if not I would consider” • Start by stating the obvious category and diagnosis • Don’t mumble/shout/run on/interrupt/joke/ask for Dx • If examiners says “is there anything else you would consider”…go back to INIT then ask for more history…or mercy
