What is it the topic that makes you cringe every time you see a question on it, because you know you're probably going to get it wrong?



Mine would be all the lymphomas and leukemias with their cleaved/ non cleaved/ hogkins/non hodgkins which i can never seem to fully comprehend.

Uggghh - these can be brain twisters for me...the lack of enjoyment for this particular topic makes it exponentially difficult to retain in my little brain : (.

These do suck... even the "easy" ones have a habit of getting twisted. You need to be very careful and just establish a method for working through them.

For me, there were also a small set of drugs that I couldn't remember no matter how many times I looked at them. They had a habit of sounding like other drug classes as well. "Modafinil? Why am I giving narcoleptics boner pills???" 😕
