EBOT oral exam: they expect you to handle being wrong gracefully

During the EBOT oral, one examiner gently challenged my management plan for a distal radius fracture with an unusual fracture pattern. I doubled down on my initial answer instead of pausing to reconsider. Looking back, they were giving me space to correct myself — the ideal response was to acknowledge the point, re-evaluate, and modify the plan. The exam tests composure and judgement under pressure just as much as knowledge. If an examiner pushes back, pause before you push back harder.
