Thought it may be useful if people wrote things they thought were helpful to brush up on for aways (pimping questions). Maybe even some program specific stuff (ie this attending is notorious about asking brachial plexus pathology, etc). Not just "Read the netter ortho and BPs ortho", but more specific things. Gluck to everyone getting prepped to rock their aways soon.

I think the name to the game when it comes to getting pimped is composure... it's a pimp question because they don't expect you to get it right, but rather they want to see if you're a toolbag and get all freaked out and make excuses for when you get it wrong. If you get it right, that's like icing on the cake, but rest assured they're going to follow up with questions until you get one wrong. Just my 2 cents.

Answer: "the one that hurts most"

Actually, my favorite was the time I was in a case and was handed the marker and told to write down on the drape all of the muscular attachments to the scapula... and d@mn, there are a lot of them.
