I just got the shock of my life when I found out that Tacrolmus and Sirolimus have different mechanisms of action...who NAMED them SIMILARLY??? who...??? who...??? someone was trying to really mess with a student...
(the funnier part is that Tacrolimus and Cyclosporin are similar and in action and have similar side effects)
I tend to be a very good guesser, and my guessing depends on pattern recognition, trends, similar names, etc. So I decided to start this thread to point out some of the outliers that could make me a bad guesser...
Please add others as you come across them...
Here are a couple of others...
- They call it Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but is not found anywhere near the Rocky Mountains...
- They call it pyoderma granulosum, but it has no pus, and has no granulomas...
