How not to advertise, and more mnemonics!
While studying STD’s for the upcoming micro exam, i happened to come across this little gem. Advertisers, you may want to rethink your placement just by using common search terms
For the non medically inclined, the funny is that gonorrhea is an inflammatory STD, and the dating ad tells you to find someone to light your fire
And a bonus mnemonic for something unrelated. The Gastritis VIRUSES (Not bacteria) can be remembered by Pac Man

What sound did Pac Man make when chomping dots? Waka waka waka…now, lets remember RACA RACA RACA for the viruses Rotavirus, Astrovirus, Calicivirus, and Adenovirus, and since pac man is basically a giant stomach, it is the viruses that cause loose watery diarrheas and stomach pain

Mnemonic techniques are a great way to help those wondering how to improve memory. The crazier the mnemonic you create, the better. It works especially well for foreign language students and medical students.

Yay for mnemonics! The stupider and the more perverted, the better. Of course, that can completely backfire when it comes to an oral exam, haha. Have a great weekend!
