Convincing my doctor that I had an inguinal hernia and not varicoceles when I had a half-apple sized lump in my left groin. I'm with a new doctor now.
What do you call a person who graduates last in their class for a medical degree? "Doctor."
Obligatory (at the right time code!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=notKtAgfwDA&t=63s
Perfection.
The state-sponsored medical professionals where I used to live were so inexperienced it was scary. I had a group appointment once, and we described basic symptoms of the condition known as EHS or Exploding Head Syndrome, which are fairly common in certain forms, and I swear the person there looked like she was going to come out of her skin because she didn't know what EHS was and so it came off to her like "casual schizophrenia" (nobody in my family has that issue). It was kind of funny though seeing her reaction.
With all due respect to them since they aren't technically bad in what they do, if you have a doctor from another part of the world (this one was from Pakistan), do quiz them.
