The med school hypochondriac

But it could be pancreatic cancer for real though

I studied psychology and in my introduction class my professor said “I promise you that you will be convinced you have every one of these mental illnesses we discuss and YOU PROBABLY DO NOT AND IF YOU DO THERE ARE THERAPISTS AT THE MEDICAL CENTER”

When I took my first physiology class our professor told the class about “medical student illness syndrome”. Just because you’re learning about it doesn’t mean you have it. She was spot on 😂😂

Not gonna lie, the last one about ALS made me shudder. My Mum had ALS and now every time any muscle twitches in my legs, I immediately think "Oh dear Lord no" 😳

I was born while my dad was in residency and apparently my mother had to forbid him from telling her ever that could go wrong with my development that week :-P Ended up being delivered by a fellow resident b/c the OB was stuck in football traffic :-D

I don't know how many diagnosis I gave myself through med school 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I recall preparing for the UME I had abdominal pain while studying colorectal cancer Symptoms occurred at night I read advanced stages cause back pain due to vertebral invasion Then I felt back pain, sweated with fear, convinced I had it. I couldn’t sleep until a GI reassured me.

Call me when he develops endometriosis.

And dental student disease too. It’s ubiquitous

In veterinary school we studied zoonotic diseases and I was convinced I had either Brucellosis or QFever. Just attended a conference and left one session convinced I had Bartenellosis!
