Introduction

"Reason is not driven from her seat,
but Distraction sits down upon it along with her,
holds her trembling upon it
and frightens her from her propriety."
--Lord-Chancellor Erskine, Speech in Defense of Hadfield, 1800[1]
Having spent most of their lives taking multiple-choice tests, physicians will recognize the role of the distractor. Distractors are the incorrect answers that seem plausible, but are nevertheless not the correct answer. More plausible distractors result in a more difficult question./../
