Belle sat outside of the hotel on the curb. She sat with the rest of the residents as Jackson walked over and sat the furthest away from her. Belle knew that it didn't go well, it didn't go well at all. All that she could think over was just what had happened with Jackson and how it was a complete and utter mess

"That was hell. Actual physical hell." Meredith said

"I think I went a tad overboard." Cristina said

"A lot overboard." Bree said as she ran a hand through her hair

"They took something from me." Meredith said

"Yeah, that wasn't an exam. That was an interrogation." Jackson said

"Like, way ... way overboard." Belle said

"The mind games." Meredith said

"Trick questions." April said

"It felt like Al Qaeda in there." Jackson said as they all sat there

"Next test is june." Meredith said

"June's not bad." Bree said

"2013."

"Oh."

"What's done is done.Let's just not even talk about it anymore." Jackson said. Belle glanced to him. She had a feeling he was talking over more then the boards

"Anyone know how Alex did?" Bree asked

"Anyone know if Alex made it?" Belle asked

"Made it?" Meredith asked

"What do you mean, made it?" Cristina asked. April went all red at the mention of him which belle noticed

"Welcome to the American Medical Board of Surgery Certifying Examination. We'll give you four separate scenarios in 3 30-minute sessions, 10-minute breaks in between. To pass the test, you must pass two of the three sessions. Now you can fail a session and still pass.But examiners are not permitted to indicate whether you passed or failed each session. You'll be rated on your ability to diagnose, manage treatment, handle the unexpected ... Basically, the strength of your constitution in crisis. And when we move on to the, uh, next scenario, th-there's no doubling back, meaning, once a question is asked ... You can't go back"

"Understood" belle said. She played with a necklace around her neck. Her good luck necklace that her mom had send her. She had it since she was thirteen

"So then, a 65-year-old woman is being seen by her primary care physician for a workup of osteoporosis when she is found to have elevated calcium.Her P. T. H. level was well above normal. Her doctor sends her to you." The examiner said

"Elevated calcium and P. T. H. would indicate primary hyperparathyroidism. I would offer the patient a para ... thyroidectomy.And first I would explore the right side.
If that gland is large ... I would biopsy it. Next, I would resect it and explore the other glands"
