This week we are focusing on a way to remember a term that we find difficult to remember. For example, there are several terms for the different types of fractures that can occur in the body. One example of a fracture is a greenstick fracture and this type of fracture is an incomplete fracture that occurs in children as their bones are more flexible than adults. One way to remember this is to think about the term green - we use it to imply that someone is new to something (such as green on the job). You can think of children as being new or green.

What I would like you to do is to list a term that you find difficult and a trick that you use to remember this term.

This week, I would like you to focus again focus on a term that is difficult to remember. One example might be angina pectoris, the chest pain that is sometimes felt when blood flow to the heart muscle is restricted during a myocardial infarction. The term 'pectoris' looks similar to pectoral, which refers to the chest. The term 'angina' is slightly more difficult but it may be helpful to remember it as "Gina had chest pain" so that you use a familiar name, such as Gina, and apply it to this term. I hope this helps, please post your suggestions for remembering terms here.
