Strong but Wrong!

Medical students are often taught during clinical rotations to respond “strong, even if (they suspect they are) wrong”. This approach goes back to the days when the practice of medicine was in its infancy, physicians were not sure about the science undergirding or supporting their decisions, and it was thought that such an approach would help persuade their patients to accept untested procedures. Fortunately, medical knowledge and date-based probabilities are far greater now and increasing all the time.  Nevertheless, in stressful situations (e.g., clinical settings for medical students), similarities of complex terminology based on archaic languages can easily and quickly yield mistakes.

Question: each numbered line represents a clinically-relevant region, anatomical plane, or a vertebral level relevant to physical diagnosis. Can you select the incorrectly labeled region, clinical plane, or vertebral level?

A. 1 = Epigastric region

B. 2 = Transpyloric plane

C. 3 = Intertubercular plane

D. 4 = Vertebral level T10

E. 5 = Hypogastric region
