Medical Student Syndrome

I'll admit it; I totally have it.

The three dizzy spells I've ever had in my life were temporal lobe seizures; the stomach ache that kept me in bed for a day was acute gastroenteritis, which led to my compromised immune system being infected by a coronavirus (or perhaps adenovirus); my friend has been diagnosed with second degree heart block; her roommate has bipolar (but seriously, she's a nut); I've had tinea pedis as well as capitis; and now I'm convinced I most likely have venous stasis because I spend so much time sitting down.

please--the dizzy spells were probably vasovagal syncope.
