The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known.
The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.

My quick response is, I don't know. If you give me some time I can research it and take a stab. Others may want to join in as well. Or you can just give it away now, which I suspect is your inclination.
Yes, for Halo Nevus and E-medicine! I looked at the painting referenced but could not identify a halo nevus, the closest looked like plague(never having seen plague however how old people think I am).
