Why did they even bother with the first three rows? I think there was only one I couldn't get (grafittio) out of those rows.

BTW-WTH is grafittio?

Just turn on TV and watch your pres and he has two degrees.

Ever been tempted to use that vocabulary at work? "Sir, I implore you to abscond from the agent of conveyance forthwith, and establish your appendages on your cranium"

You likely aced the med terms in there.:)
I knew quite a few, but did not lie about the others I was unsure of.

Yea I did, tho I find it's more fun to mess with people who dont know med terms or abbrevs.

Like saying so I had this CHF exacerbation/HTN urgency/ARF patient today and you wouldnt believe his BNP levels! They were 12,000! And his BUN/Creatinine were 50 and 4.5 and watch the look on their faces.

I don't know what those things mean, but might they have something to do with why a med student has "death" in his handle?

LMAO....ermm not actually, it was something I picked up in the movie The Crow when I was a wee bit younger and not actively seeking a degree that deals with human lives everyday. I've never felt the urge nor the need to change it. *shrug*

536, my mom was an English teacher. I have a post graduate degree (MBA).

Not that, it means anything. However that was a very interesting test.
