@melvo,
Is your instructor asking for a diagnosis, or what?
God forbid there is a patient waiting! Especially if it's what I think it is.

I honestly hope this is not part of you trying to become a doctor --- how the heck are you going to cheat when you actually have a real live patient requiring your attention?
