VIVA - The Untold Story!

General
1

Only medicos can understand the feeling of getting questioned by the Externals in the VIVA.
It’s the feeling which we can mutually understand without expressing ourselves much.

We can see lot of tensions, fears, anxiousness around ourselves.

But the only thought that came to my mind during such situations is - " What can I do if really don’t know anything about the question?"
Obviously.. Nothing. Then why to worry!

Just answer how much you know. So being in that serious situations, this is the mindset that helps me to calm myself during vivas.

What strategies do you adopt to tackle such situations? What’s your take on this?

Ya anxious behaviour and nervesness is a obvious thing… But I make sure that I don’t give a blunder answer in this anxiousness…
I would simply say i don’t know in a polite manner…
Because… A wrong answer will always always lead to the question related to it…

If we don’t know, just look and the external and simply sit. Finally, he will enter to next question.
