Does anyone have a good mnemonic for remembering the 11 criteria for SLE? I think I used to know one, something about a bubblehead, but now I can't remember. Thanks in advance!

Yeah. For such a tiny book, it it packed with craploads of stuff. Every time I think I "know" about a disease, I look it up in Ayala and there are always one or two things I didnt know. It is a pain in the ass to read the book "cold" without having read anything else.
