Tonight has been another lovely evening spent in the good graces of USMLEWorld. In case you're one of the few who haven't bought it, I can't recommend it highly enough.

To that end, I went ahead and copied a few questions so that those of you who are on the fence can see why everyone loves it so much. Enjoy!

Q1. A patient presents existing. You proceed with intestinal biopsy and the results are shown below:

th_28377_gvh6_122_111lo.jpg


Long term sequelae of the most likely medical treatment of this disorder share the same pathogenesis as:
a. Styles-Brady syndrome
b. Idiopathic spontaneous dentohydroplasia
c. A parasite who has a host at one point in its life cycle
d. A process involving unhappy proteins
​
Q2. You've been managing a patient with a history of type 2 diabetes, SLE, chronic gunshot wound and fulminant missing head who presents with new onset fatigue. As with previous encounters you are careful not to interact with or view him/her in any way.

The most likely infectious agent responsible:
a. Has a genome containing a "gattacagattaca" sequence
b. Would grow slightly less well on media made with extra factor V, less factor X, diphenylperothiocarbazine and emulsified Sri Lankan yak prostate when a hint of paprika is added
c. Contains fzj57 and pnqr-gamma as well as proteins that are unique to this organism
d. Is not not not not not not not not not less unvirulent than the second most likely agent​

Q3. You are a participant in a medical mission to 1568. A child presents with a fever due to an agent that has the following bands after EcoRI restriction and electrophoresis: 2.443 Kb, others.

As antibiotics have yet to be invented, the best treatment is:
a. East Thornton-Upon-Hill leeches
b. West Thornton-Upon-Hill leeches
c. McKayley's consumption powder and goose shine
d. Flogging​

This is just a little sample of USMLEWorld, but there are also hard questions too! Also, I hope my sharing just a few of the USMLEWorld questions is OK with the mods. I guess I just really enjoy how much USMLEbetter and more fulfilling my USMLEife is now that I have USMLEWorld, and I needed to share that with the USMLEniverse.

USMLEThanks USMLEWorld!

At first I diverted my eyes in case I hadn't seen them yet, and thought a mod ****-storm was fixin' to rain down on that ass.

"...there are also hard questions too!" :laugh:😀 NO ****!!

Much 'spect! 👍

What i dont understand is some of the percentage of corrects answers on U world:

There will be times when the question asks about a disease I have never heard of or a presentation that is so out of the ordinary that it doesnt even resemble the classic presentation. I answer it, get it wrong and despite the fact that I dont even understand the explanation I find that 86% of people got it right

Then there are questions that I feel a retarted monkey could answer correctly to find that only 45% of people answered it right... WTF?

FWIW I came across a question last night that had 5 answer choices and 8% of people answered it correctly. Just dumb luck guessing it should have been 20%...

It means there was a really good distractor. It would be like a question about a simian crease, and then the answer wasn't Down syndrome.

Werd. I got one right yesterday that I thought was REAL apparent. 16% correct. Then I miss **** like 83%. Maybe it has to do with the minutiae of lectures by PhD's, idk. But I bomb the nutrition stuff. Our biochem is utter garbage.

Or, I'll mull something over and just ****ing ANGUISH over it. 80%. I'm my own worst enemy...

Just had a 16% question that I knew pretty easily. It was asking what the DNA/RNA sequence would be at the 3' end of a sequence of 90 nucleotides that included atypical nucleotides (so it's a tRNA). The answer is CCA, because that's where the amino acid gets tagged. But how important is that kind of info? Not very. I probably only remembered it because of all the molecular bio I took in undergrad.

And then I missed a captopril cough question the other day that 85% of people got. D'oh.

I think it's pretty funny, but only because I am both more likely to do that and very unlikely to be freaked out if someone pulled it on me.

Oh my God, I laughed so hard that there are now tears streaming out of my eyes. The really sad part is that I didn't realize it was a joke until I got to the part about the "unhappy proteins."

Thank you for posting. I needed that.

haha I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just thought there were typos in the question stem or whatever and I proceeded to look at the picture in the first question for a good 5 minutes to figure out wtf it was. How pathetic is that?

In any case, that ish was hilarious.
