How I finally remembered adrenergic agonists

I kept mixing them up until I drew them as tattoos on the incredible hulk in my marvel heroes coloring book.

Same goes for antiarrythmics on the fantastic four.

Anyone else willing to admit to strange study methods?

Nice..Isoproterenol on Hulk's Balls and its a B agonist, I get it.

I think the point was that it's not just a B-agonist, as much as it is a NON-SELECTIVE Beta agonist, hence it sort of overlapping both the Beta-1 and Beta-2 (Hulk's legs).

I like it.

It's not even a comic book, it's a coloring book!

I truly wish I'd seen this two weeks ago... I'd remember this really well... K.I.S.S method!!

Yep, it's totally a coloring book. Fantastic 4 didn't turn out as well but I'll post it in a bit. This last few days before Step 1 I'm implementing the KISS method to clean up things that I seem to mix up most frequently.

And yes, Isoproterernol is in the middle because it's non-selective. Right fist was Alpha 1, left fist Alpha 2, etc.

Another thing I've done is to take charts and graphs out of First Aid that I have the most trouble with and hang them on the bathroom wall in front of the toilet. That way about once a day (give or take) I get a real good look. 👍 Even if it only helps me with one single question on the test, I will feel like I made the most of my otherwise useless #2 time.

Huge Marvel fan here but, I don't get it. 😳

Haha, so I took your Hulk picture and changed it a little.

R arm-A1, L arm-A2, R leg-B1, L leg-B2.

I switched it to a drunk bride-to-be at her bachelorette party with crazy colored hair and a veil on, dancing on a table, R hand has a phenylephrine tattoo; she's holding a full penis-shaped glass in her R hand (Alpha-1-blockers, zosins), and clutching a body-shot of tequila to her chest with her L hand (central acting, clonidine, methyldopa).

a tattoo of NE on her head (between arms, A1/A2), needle in the chest (epi).

Then R leg (Beta-1) is dobutamine, with her albuterol inhaler in her left pocket (B2), and standing on the table with her 2 legs (B1+B2, isoproterenol). Beta blockers on the floor, arranged alphabetically (A-M B1 selective, N-Z non selective).

Her crazy hair is phenoxybenzamine (irreversible, can't take off), and the bride veil is phentolamine (reversible, because you can take the veil off).

Complicated, but funny, and it works for me. Thanks for the inspiration!

That's what counts 👍 at least that's what I say to rationalize using coloring books to study in med school.



Whipple disease... cool whip... cool whip is foamy... like the macrophages... in Whipple disease.

It's always fun to come up with things that make studying a little less stressful 🙂
