Osce Poem

Ready for the OSCEs,

Shining like a star,

Hang on just a minute

- Am I dressed for CPR?

Tasks, then introductions,

Then define my role,

Are there any boundaries

Or limits to control?

Normal demographics,

Empathise and smile,

Talk in simple language,

Consumer-friendly style.

Talk to that third person!

Explain those test results!

Should I now discuss this

With my senior, Dr Schultz?

Present as you examine,

The pulse is at the wrist.

Now complete the MSE,

Risk, risk, risk, risk, risk.

Organic differential,

Drugs, and personality,

Who is your GP, and

Who else should talk to me?

That's a funny question.

What are we going to do?

Remember How and What and When and

Where and Why and Who.

Say goodbye politely,

Book follow-up - It's done.

No time for reflection,

On to the next one!Julie Moore
