Guys or Gals be cognizant that USMLE may try to cause a dilemma or a "prodrome" between Crohns and U.C. (thats why I had them right next to each other in comparison) so throwing around a bunch of random facts will be of limited value and you will have NO chance of answering a q anywhere near 30 seconds. :oops:
