Strongly support. The previous card tested resource-specific meta-knowledge (i.e., what is missing from Sketchy) rather than medical concepts, and has several pending suggestions trying to fix it. This update consolidates the HY catalase-positive list required for CGD questions into a single, comprehensive mnemonic
Thoughts about CAT Needs Some PLACES to Belch Hairballs.
I’m just not a huge fan of the mnemonics that are misspelled, makes it somewhat harder to remember imo.
I like that, would probably put Staphylococci first. But there is an argument for keeping the two bugs that start with S right next to each other so people can quickly double tap the reveal next and get both at the same time.
That’s fair. I’ll support either way, but if so probably would recommend having them both on the same line and have the hint be “S (2)” like how is done in nid:1487727748709
I wouldn’t mind making this a new card, rather than changing it. We can keep this one for those who want to stay using it (and I will admit I am biased because I’ve gotten alot of questions right in my inhouse exams and NBME and UWorld just from this card alone). Then the new card can be the new mnemonic. Yes it will be somewhat of a duplicate, but I am trying to appease both sides as much as possible. Thoughts?
That works for me, when I suggest the new card, could I just keep all the same tags information in other fields that this card has?
