andersenpa Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Maybe some of you PANCE/PANRE/Student folks out there will like this thread, we'll see. Certain diagnoses are often associated w/ buzzwords or clue phrases that usually give the answer away on these exams (or on your PA student exams). While they are frankly not always useful in the real world, it is helpful to know for the exam. Everybody join in if you have good ones. Some have more than one answer, I'm sure..... First few: 1. Dewdrops on a rose petal 2. Bamboo spine 3. Currant jelly stool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
