Warrior Cats: Medicine CAT Exam
Every medicine cat has taken an exam. It's just part of the deal. Your knowledge has to be tested before you can be trusted with the Clan's health and well-being. Being medicine cat is a huge responsibility, and this exam will show that you're ready for it. If you don't get a good grade, it's fine. Maybe you and your mentor need to review some things first, or maybe all you need is another try. It's fine. As long as you pass eventually, that's what matters—and also, of course, the safety of your Clan!

Whitecough and greencough are the most common chest infections known to the Clan cats. Whitecough is the milder form, but if untreated, it can develop into the much more severe greencough. Cats usually catch it during leaf-fall and leaf-bare, and sometimes it develops into large-scale epidemics. It can be fatal for elders and kits, and it has claimed the lives of several cats. It spreads quickly and is highly contagious."Warriors Wiki." Wikia, warriors.wikia.com/wiki/Diseases_and_Injuries. Accessed 6 Jan. 2017. It is VERY important to know how to treat greencough. You must know how to cure it if you're going to survive leaf-bare!
