Medical Mnemonics
Medical mnemonics can take many forms and the two I have found to be the most effective are mnemonic sketches and mnemonic phrases/fiction. Consider the following excerpt:
“I am a medical student at the Aardvark School for Talented Young Men and Women. I live in the Strauss dormitory for first-year students. The Strauss dormitory is named after the first president of Aardvark, Wolfgang Churg-Strauss, who discovered Churg-Strauss autoimmune vasculitis, which affects primarily the lung. I live there with Handsome.
I met Handsome at the welcoming reception the School gave for its new students. His baby black eyes became hungrily fixed on me as we started talking and I could sense his interest in me. His hungry eyes reminded me of the hungry bone syndrome seen after parathyroid resection. We strolled about the reception hall that night and gazed at the portraits of old professors on the wall. I can’t remember the small talk we made, but the contnt is irrelevant – with every syllable we exchanged, we knew we were made for each other.
The other day, Handsome and I decided to check out the new Noble bookstore in Revered Tree Mall. We ordered coffee at the “Starry Sky” cafe, which always brings to my mind the starry sky histologic pattern of Burkitt lymphoma. We sat at a table near the big glass windows. The sun was bathing us. I felt such contentment to be near him, that I forgot all worry about solar keratosis or squamous cell carcinoma, which can be caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.”
Doesn’t it make learning the highlighted medical concepts more pleasureable than just studying them from a textbook? If you want to discover more medical mnemonics, please visit my websites below.
