Another boring studying post

I have started to use a thought trick that I am probably really dumb for not taking advantage of earlier. I have to work to do it. Maybe one day it will be second nature. It's called (brace yourself): Imagining an actual person with organs and cells. If I can think of a real person to associate with the pathology, that's even better. For instance, my friend Shawn has hypertension. So when I'm learning about hypertension, I think of an Inner Space/NOVA view of SHAWN's heart, arteries, kidneys, and sympathetic nervous system (although the latter is kind of difficult to visualize no matter what...anatomy helps). I care about Shawn, as well as his heart, arteries, kidneys, and sympathetic nervous system.
