Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've started doing question banks for my boards studying and trust me, nothing is more illogically rage-inducing than getting these questions wrong. Stuff like: a woman with heart failure recently was hospitalized for an infection and was given a macrolide. She is now having trouble hearing. What medications is she on?

I narrowed the choices down to two diuretics: furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide. I was leaning to furosemide, but doubting myself, I chose HCT and...I WAS WRONG scream

I got so mad that if people in the library saw my face, probably thought I was trying to s**t myself.

It's good that I know now, and the question banks do give you feedback on why things are right and why things are wrong, but ******** A, when you rationalize things and think you're on the right track and then get told wrong and why your choice is a stupid one, your blood pressure could make your eyes explode.

When that happens I feel like trying to punch through my Mac, but like a masochist, I keep trodding through. Those. ********. Question. Banks.

What sets you off in a way that shouldn't be logical? What gives you guys a hair trigger temper? What changes your calm waters into a tsunami of seething wrath?

Ugh, I know how that is. I'm always the one who has to "suck it up" but heaven forbid I hurt someone else's feelings. evil

What sets me off is interruptions. If I'm trying to focus on something (which is most of the time xD ) and someone starts talking to me, knocks at the door, calls on the phone, even that annoying email notification beep, I get really angry. redface My computer crashing is the same thing, an interruption. I've nearly smashed it plenty of times for that.
