Say the tree. Watch it fill in.
Every drug class and every disease sits somewhere in a tree: big branches, then their branches, down to the substance. You name them out loud, from memory, and each one appears on the screen the moment you say it. A spoken tutor prompts you, hints, asks what each one is, and keeps the score. 176 nodes in 2 trees, free to read.
Minute packs from €12 for 100 minutes, no subscription. The trees are free.

You: …ACE inhibitors. Hm.
Tutor: Two to go. One of them does what the ACE inhibitors do, one step later.
Three ways to walk a tree
1
Names
First every big branch, then into one and all of its branches, then deeper, down to the substances or the diseases. Each appears as you say it. The tutor hints, never tells, unless you give up.
2
Details
The names are shown, one is highlighted: say the one thing that distinguishes it. Where it acts, what it blocks, what it does. The tutor judges by substance and draws out what is missing.
3
Combined
Recite the tree and, for every node, what it is, as you go. The whole thing, out loud, from memory.
176 nodes, 2 trees
Drugs by class down to the substances a graduate prescribes, and by mechanism of action; diseases by body system down to the diagnosis, and by what is wrong. A disease that belongs in two places sits in both, and knowing it once counts everywhere. Each node carries one line that distinguishes it, in plain words, checked against named sources.
In English. Read every tree on the screen, whole.

What it is, and what it is not
It is a way to hold the shape of a subject in your head and prove it out loud: for the weeks before a pharmacology or medicine exam, the first months on the wards, or any time the classes have gone fuzzy. With headphones, anywhere.
It is not a textbook, not a question bank, not a source of medical advice, and it promises no pass rate. You always see the time you talk: you buy minutes in packs, they are valid 30 to 90 days, and nothing keeps running in the background.
