About Us

Welcome to MM4U! I am sure that at least everyone must have got difficulty in memorising one or other thing right from their school days. Some people develop liking for a subject which they remember better. Some revise a lot. Some develop their own techniques to remember - MNEMONICS is one such effort.

There are a lot of enemies against your MEMORY - stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, nutritional deficiencies, full stomach, hypoglycemia and many more. Even if you don't have any of these "distractors", sometimes you will end up not remembering the name of third generation cephalosporins or you may have a CONFUSION between facts or names.

When I joined medical school it was very difficult for me to remember the many new names and facts that were pumped into me and the confusion level was also very high. Thanks to the efforts put from various quarters, I overcame everything right from my first year to Post graduation. I thought that I share with you the mnemonics and memory techniques I gathered over these years and which I am still making use of. Many of these were made or gathered during preparation for PG exams. My friends Sreejith, Binoy, Rajesh (to name a few especially) and many others also have contributed to these mnemonics and memory aids.

This site is specially dedicated to the medical student who works a lot, burns midnight oil and still has confusion or couldnot recall names or facts.

However, it must be remembered that mnemonics should only be a steeping stone on the ladder to knowledge and not a weapon to destroy the true logic of events. In other words, it should not be used as by hearting tool. Too much of mnemonics is also bad. Only accept what you need from this site, because you may be having your own logic to remember something. I hope this site benefits all doctors of today and tomorrow.
