I reckon it ain't really ideal to disclose names on a public forum =P but both of them were doing UWAFP with me. Are you all doing musculoskeletal this semester?

i came across this memory method from a hk drama. it works well for me.

in order to memorise something, we need to understand it. however, there are some facts or numbers that we just have to memorise by heart.

DM will be a good example.

in order to remember the different hypoglycemic agents used in DM type 2, we have to understand that it needs to reduce the blood glucose level and insulin can reduce blood glucose. so the drugs can increase insulin secretion (insulin secretagogues) or increase insulin sensitivity (insulin sensitisers) to reduce the blood glucose. the drugs can also act directly to reduce glucose absorption into the bloodstream (insulin sparers).

so in this case our memory is based on understanding. However, we also need to know the range for impaired glucose tolerance in 2hr oGTT, which is 7.8-11.1 mmol/L (anything below is normal and above is DM)

obviously i can't understand anything to memorise the range 7.8-11.1  So in this case we can relate the numbers to something else.

you can imagine 7 looks like an open jaw from the side, and this is the jaw of a snowman (8), and this snowman is holding 3 candles (111). and this snowman is so fat to have DM. then the numbers 7.8-11.1 can be easily memorised.

U can also put this snowman in a room, and subsequently put other pictures in other rooms. and you can then visit this house full of pictures when you need the figures.

this memorisation method can also make study more interesting.  really hope it helps.

yeah, repetition is certainly another important way to get things memorised.

From Utusan Malaysia:

Pusat Rawatan Keraton hadapi tuduhan

JOHOR BAHRU 7 Okt. - Pemilik Pusat Rawatan Keraton yang melakukan rawatan 'pembedahan' secara tradisional atau batin didakwa di Mahkamah Sesyen di sini hari ini atas tuduhan menjalankan operasi pusat jagaan kesihatan swasta tanpa lesen, Jun lalu.

Johari Mansor, 52, dan Rusnani Rahaman, 49, bagaimanapun mengaku tidak bersalah sebaik sahaja pertuduhan tersebut dibacakan di hadapan Hakim Norazlan Ahmad.

Mengikut kertas pertuduhan, mereka didakwa menjalankan operasi pusat jagaan ambulatori swasta tanpa lesen mengikut perenggan 3© Akta Kemudahan dan Perkhidmatan Jagaan Kesihatan Swasta 1998.

Kesalahan itu didakwa dilakukan di No. 34, Jalan Padi Emas 32, Bandar Baru Uda di sini kira-kira pukul 6.30 petang, 9 Jun lalu.

Dakwaan terhadap mereka dibuat mengikut Subseksyen 5(1) Akta Kemudahan dan Perkhidmatan Jagaan Kesihatan Swasta 1998 (Akta 586) dan boleh dihukum mengikut Subseksyen 5(1)(b)(i) akta sama.

Jika sabit kesalahan, pusat rawatan berkenaan boleh didenda maksimum RM500,000 dan pemiliknya boleh didenda tidak melebihi RM300,000 atau penjara tidak lebih enam tahun atau kedua-duanya.

Norazlan menetapkan 29 November ini untuk perbicaraan kes tersebut.

Pendakwaan dikemukakan oleh Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Amira Suriati Zainal manakala tertuduh diwakili peguam bela, Zamri Idrus.

Sementara itu, Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Tan Sri Dr. Mohd. Ismail Merican dalam satu kenyataan di sini hari ini berkata, pusat rawatan berkenaan diserbu pihak kementerian pada 6 Jun lalu kerana didakwa melakukan rawatan 'pembedahan' secara tradisional atau batin.

Beliau berkata, hasil serbuan yang dijalankan Unit Kawalan Amalan Perubatan Swasta (UKAPS) Johor dan Selangor, pihaknya merampas beberapa perkakas dan peralatan yang dipercayai digunakan dalam pembedahan batin tersebut.

Mohd. Ismail mengingatkan semua pusat rawatan swasta yang menawarkan rawatan perubatan supaya mendapatkan lesen daripada Kementerian Kesihatan sebelum memulakan operasi seperti yang diperuntukkan di bawah akta tersebut.
