B2 plateau is extremely common before FSP. The fix is usually not more grammar, but more structured output under pressure. Try 14 days: daily speaking, timed Arztbrief, 3x/week roleplay, and a phrase bank.

I am stuck at B2 for months. I can read but speaking is slow. Any strategy for medical German before FSP?
Honestly, speaking with Germans outside medicine helped me too. Supermarket, phone calls, anything. It reduced my panic in FSP roleplay.
Try one topic day: chest pain Monday, abdominal pain Tuesday… I got less overwhelmed.
Try 30 min daily: anamnesis roleplay with a partner. Record yourself and fix the same 5 mistakes.
Shadowing and repeating Arztbrief phrases helped me more than grammar books.
