...yes, in fact, it went great. Bit of a shock right at the beginning, when I thought I didn't have a clue what the examiner wanted to hear. That was the part in which I had to describe the photo of a certain Dermatological Entity (sounds much nicer than "skin disease", dontcha think?) using the "correct" vocabulary, and then give a diagnosis. The first part was no problem, but it turned out my diagnosis was completely wrong. Completely? Ah, luckily, what I suspected was actually something that might have looked similar to what I saw in the picture, as was my second - also incorrect - guess. Also, "this is actually a very easy diagnosis, but it's not really a typical picture, because if it were a typical picture, it would be too easy". So, long story short, I got it right at the third try, and the other two attempts were reasonable enough to be seen as a proof that I had actually studied quite a bit for the exam. My stomach and my head still have to calm down, but oh, I'm ever so glad this is over...
