Aced the test?
My RAD-110 test today seemed way too easy. It could possibly be the first test where I get a perfect score this semester. I knew all the answers, so unless I made a stupid mistake or mislabeled the scantron test sheet, I think I did really well on this one. My weekend is going to be spent studying for the next positioning written test. The anatomy won’t be too difficult, but the long list of positions of the proximal humerus and shoulder girdle is going to take a lot of work to learn. In the actual positioning lab, I only have to be able to demonstrate these positions:
Humerus: AP
Humerus: Lateral
Humerus: Transthoracic Lateral
Shoulder: AP Internal Rotation
Shoulder: AP External Rotation
Shoulder: Superoinferior Axial
Shoulder: Scapular Y-Lateral
For the written test, I have to know these special views in addition to the others:
Shoulder: Lawrence Method (Inferosuperior Axial)
Shoulder: Neer Method (Supraspinatus/Outlet View)
Shoulder: West Point Method (Inferosuperior Axial)
Shoulder: Grashey Method (Posterior oblique / AP projection)
Shoulder: Garth Method (Posterior oblique / AP Axial projection)
Shoulder: Stryker Notch (AP Axial)
I have a lot of studying to do. On the written test, it’s hard to guess at what the questions will be like. They are usually multiple choice where a situation is described where we need to look at something specific, and we are asked to choose which method.
Tomorrow, I’m back to clinical. I hope I’ll get a few more pre-comps completed, and if I’m lucky, I’ll comp something, but I’m not expecting it tomorrow. The closest I am to another comp is on the hand. I need two more pre-comps before I can comp that one. Maybe I’ll get some more pre-comps on things I don’t have yet…
