It seems that I will spend more time than my fellow students familiarizing myself with medical terms and the ins and outs of medical school. My question during last class about how to know whether a condition is caused by a single gene in the first place probably highlights this best.

The key to my success will be to know what the med student, doctor or patron is talking about in the first place and I’m hoping that continual study of medical terms will get me started in that direction.
