We started with a viva:


Laparoscopy & bowel injury.
Candidate’s instructions.
This is a viva station.
You are a SpR. You are in the process of performing laparoscopy for a patient with 1ry. infertility. On inserting the laparoscope you suspect that the cannula is in the bowel.
The examiner will ask you a series of questions.

Then a roleplay.
It is a follow-on. It is next day and you have to discuss the operation with the patient.

Then another viva:

Discuss the uses of magnesium sulphate in obstetrics. 

And finally a role-play.
This is basic stuff and you would think that it would be easy.
Anna, James and Louise are extremely bright and articulate young people, but they struggled with this.
This just illustrates how hard it is to communicate well, particularly against the clock.
Make sure you practise a lot!
