Working as a doctor can be enormously stressful. According to the American Medical Association, 48.2% of physicians reported at least one symptom of burnout in 2023. It doesn't help that most doctors are buried in paperwork and often have to perform repetitive tasks day in and day out.
Outsiders are often convinced that being a doctor is like being Gregory House; you get to walk around hospital halls doing wacky pranks on your best friend and colleagues and are faced with weird and rare conditions every day.
And, although much of House is fantasy, sometimes life can be even stranger than fiction. Rare medical cases happen, and those who've seen them or experienced them are the best ones to ask. So, recently, one netizen did just that.
