Mnemonic Mystery

Members do not see this ad.

So I drew this cartoon several months ago for my blog. It was supposed to be a "guess the mnemonic" game. But here's the thing: I can't remember what the first panel is supposed to be! It is driving me freaking crazy!

I figured a bunch of med students might be able to help me out. It's not CAGE or that azygoose thing. What is it?????

If you can tell me, I would be eternally grateful.

No ideas???????? Argh, so frustrating!

I have no idea what it means, but I can guess.

1) Cages and drinks -> CAGE question mnemonic?

2) It also vaguely matches up to the the anatomy of a heart + vena cava inside the thoracic cage.

 

[cartoondoc]

No, I'm pretty sure the bottle in there is relevant somehow.

It's CAGE brah

This is my guess:

1. Thoracic cage: relations to the important venous structures Behind the sternoclavicular joints: the brachiocephalic veins begin.
Behind the 1st costal cartilage on the right the superior vena cava begins.
Behind the 2nd costal cartilage on the right the azygos vein ends.
Behind the 3rd costal cartilage on the right the superior vena cava ends.

2. MUDPILES

3. SO4 LR6 AR3

4. Randy Travis Drinks Cold Beer

I don't see it 🙁. I'm with the others that it's CAGES for alcoholic screening.

2. MUDPILES

I think I see it now.

3. SO4 LR6 AR3

yea, that makes sense. Innervation of extraocular muscles according to cranial nerves.

4. Randy Travis Drinks Cold Beer

yea, def the easiest one.

I agree too, but the poster says he doesn't think it is and I'm just trying to throw something out there. The bottle is alcohol and the bird is annoyed since he/she is locked up in a cage.

The bottle is alcohol. It looks like beer. The bird is sipping it, and the cage is surrounding it.

Holy crap. You're right. I'm a total idiot... that was exactly what I was going for. Sheesh.

Thanks, guys!
