Wells, got a copy of SU and watched the first video.
Jenkins covers neurology first.
I thought it was pretty sweet.
Thinking on covering the whole first day tomorrow.

Step Up is only like 200-300 pages, its awesome!
Kinda reminds me of HY Neuroanatomy for step 1 - good stuff!
I think i willhave to push my test date, cuz I was slacking a lot, but hopefully DIT will give me some structure:)

Done with Day 1.
Covered a bunch of neurology, talked about the test itself: Pretty much all the same ast DIT-1 but the new book.

Good stuff, learned... well, I must admit I have learned some new stuff to the shame of mine...
Which only means that DIT is what I need at this point.

Will be jumping into day 2 after a lunch.

Again, good stuff.

I have a question regarding SU2 and DIT.

So talking about coma, if you want to examine the brain stem - you put cold water in the ear?
What happens if the brain stem is intact?

SU says: cold water to ear - eyes deviate away - intact brain step.
DiT said that this is a mistake and that if you put ice cold water to the ear - eyes should deviate towards this ear in case if brain stem is intact.



I remember the mnemonic - COWS - Cold-opposite, Warm-same
So is it really the case that SU and me are incorrect?
