During our discussion, I told him how I'm studying with others, discussing the mechanism of action of the drugs, picking a prototypical drug in a particular class to learn, and, then, comparing the prototype's half-life, adverse effects, and contraindications with others. Then, I mentioned that I'm striving to find other materials that would help me to quickly assimilate the information. Like many other times, the gulf between what I aimed to say and what I said was wide, my friends. Here's how the exchange occurred:
"So, Dr. _____, I'm really trying to quickly inseminate the information," I say confidently.Once again, victorious in the ways of oration.
[Awkward pause.]
"Well, Doctor, if you must," he says with a half-concealed grin.
"I think I'll just try to learn the material, sir."
