My favorite Medical Idiom was number seven, after eating the seafood at the small restaurant the man began to vomit. It means the man got very sick eating seafood.

I enjoyed reviewing the medical idioms and got all the questions correct. I learned new ones, but my old favorite is, "feel on top of the world".

The idiom quiz was fun and awesome it was a great exercise as well. I got a couple wrong and did them over a few times until I got the hang of it. My favorite question was number four "Becoming run down" it’s my favorite because I can relate a lot too it.
