I hate acronyms and mnemonics. I can sometimes remember the mnemonic, but usually have no idea what the different letters are for. I ask questions based on what I want to find out.
I'm completely f**king hopeless at memorising mnemonics. I couldn't wrote learn something if I tried. Its basically a disability. If it wasn't for medical literature and arse loads of case studies, I wouldn't even know how to put a band aid on. Conceptual learning - I'm all about it.
also asking questions in a way that doesn't give the patient the answer in the question. your questions are like a guide that shows points of interest along the way. they help you focus where you want to go
