- The mnemonic is from the Toronto Notes[1] (2005 Ed.). Mnemonics are common in the medical literature. Two examples: Pinkofsky HB. Mnemonics for DSM-IV personality disorders. Psychiatr Serv. 1997 Sep;48(9):1197-8. PMID 9285984. (see article on antisocial personality disorder) / International Myeloma Working Group. Criteria for the classification of monoclonal gammopathies, multiple myeloma and related disorders: a report of the International Myeloma Working Group. Br J Haematol 2003;121:749-57. PMID 12780789. (see article on multiple myeloma) I see no reason to delete. Nephron T|C 05:24, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
