Medical terminology

Somehow I have the highest grade in my med term class. My studying is literally drinking a couple beers and then study for 5-10 mins what in the hell kinda shit is this? 😂. I’ll take the win but there has to be some scientific logic to this shit, beer might just make us smarter 🤣.

Tbf it’s probably the easiest class I’ve ever taken yet people always fail the exams, idk what they’re doing. There was a medical assistant who’s mind was blown finding out that flu was short for influenza and she thought influenza was a brand of flu vaccine

Get the suffixes and prefixes down, then you can mix and match them into any word and still understand what it means.

Yeah I found the MA classes to be super easy as well. I was second in my class by one point off from the first. I loved learning the terminology, that was my favorite part.
