Hey everyone,
Just wrote my Step 2 CS as a Canadian IMG studying in the UK and i made some mistakes that are giving me anxiety and i'm wondering if it is enough to possibly cause me to fail.
- I auscultated the aortic and pulmonary valve for every patient, but i did not auscultate at the 5th intercostal space (below the breast) for any female patient as i was afraid to expose too much
- I forgot about putting up the leg rest for the abdominal exam until the 7th-12th patient
- I had 3-4 patients where i did not counsel about smoking and contraceptive use
In your experience, would these critical errors on top of other minor errors be enough to fail Step 2 CS?
Thank you so much
