Medical Mnemonics

MEDICAL MNEMONICS
Mnemosyne was the Greek goddess of memory,  Her namesake, mnemonics, 
simply means "memory aid".

IF YOU FIND REFERENCES TO FEMALE/MALE ANATOMY OFFENSIVE, THIS LIST IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU!!

ANATOMY

     Annoying, aren't they? 
     The cranial bones are the PEST OF 6...
