i had a lot of IM on my FP shelf, so i'm biased towards doing pretest medicine and pretest physical diagnosis.

oh yeah, know what happens when a brown recluse spider bites you. (full thickness necrosis, IIRC)

Arthritis & Rheumatoid disorders, murmurs, COPD, asthma, cor pulmonale, depression, immunizations, pediatric well care, adult well care ... pretty much the topics covered in the NMS Family Medicine question book
