Fail....Things I don't Want to Hear

Exam, things you have to face. At the end the results? You fail or you pass.Thats the problems i'm facing now. Medical course its not that easy or not that hard. But the subjective marks given by the examiners. Onceyou enter the examination hall, everythings begins.Dou you prepare? Enough practice or not?Everything depend on you. Confidence is important in facing the situation add with your knowledge.
In my situation, lack of situation plus lack of knwoledge plus not confidence = FAIL. That's whats dissapoting me, i'm very suprise at the end of clinical exam i saw the examiner stated wriiten FAIL on the marks paper. Evrything vanish, is stood there with the exprensionless feeling and regreting what did i saw. The examiner said it was dissapointing for him to see me like this. Its like the first time you were touhght to do such Physical Examination.
The case was a CARDIOVASCULAR Examination, It stated well for me, with the general inspections is clear.Then move to hands wxamination where i fail to elicit the bounding pulse and collapsing pulse.HAh, the examiner cought me once.then move to the Palpating the chest, again i miss to appreciate the kind of Apex beat felt.My answer was tapping, but the true answer is heaving apex beat or trusting. Auscultation, the critical part, where at first i doit properly and suddenly i forgot to do the Aortic Regurge MAnouver which suddenly changes everything, the examiner stated to be very angry and then my finding on ausculatation fail to hear what is it...its early diastolic murmurs. DAMN!...
Then i saw him writing the marks and the note beside it ...FAIL....this is the first time i saw..and the further questions asked...i stood there can't think anything ...
I FAIL......
