The broken heart syndrome punchline at the end was brilliant

[@orangew3988]

Whoever scheduled the anatomy of the respiratory system during December at my uni was a sadist. Everyone in the room had a cold, and I felt like I couldn't breath as before we got to the trachea. And just so you know, knowing its hypochondria doesn't reduce your symptoms!

[@amgoudman]

I am a registered nurse and I can relate to this - particularly when you start studying psychiatric disorders 😁

[@chair547]

I'm not even a med student, I just read about mental illness for fun and every time I read about a new one I'm convinced it applies to me

[@peachypet808]

​@@chair547Same. The only thing I looked into deeply that stuck and actually was true was autism for me. Officially diagnosed and everything now. Wish I had known that earlier. But all the other stuff I read about is unlikely that I have it

[@patriciabennett1819]

Brilliant. Laughing those wigs are so good. Dr. Schmit this is awesome. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.Seasons Greetings to you and your family.

[@Doc_Schmidt]

Thank you for watching!

[@fulltimeslackerii8229]

holy wow. i understood all of that. and i’m only 1 semester into school. this was the boost i needed today

[@garykong7597]

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy... that cracks me up LOL

[@susanjoycesabo8450]

Hysterical! I laugh out loud to each video! I am a mostly retired doc.

[@CrochetDHD]

I asked for Dr. Biddles' book for Christmas after seeing this video! I can't wait to read it!

[@garrybrown3165]

Many thanks from a retired physician who recalls classmates experiencing "Medical Student Overdiagnosis Syndrome". We actually did have one classmate diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma and another with a non-Hodgkins lymphoma during our first 2 years of medical school though. "When you hear hoof beats, think horses..." ~(not sure who to attribute this quote)

[@MorningMeasure]

Woodward, possibly?

[@noahz.2054]

the quote is from House of God by Samuel Shem

[@garrybrown3165]

@@noahz.2054 GREAT book! Did you ever see the movie?

[@nicolemascarenhas7973]

I remember I had itching on my joints and elbows... thought I had polycythemia Vera... nope, just eczema

[@ClearlyPixelated]

Accurate! Can confirm that my husband is annoyed with my diagnosing.

[@laurajesso88]

My mom was a nurse for years and years, and has always refused almost all medical intervention. Even after she had a heart attack. She had takotsubo cardiomyopathy 😂 made a full recovery tho!

[@lunaazzurra7995]

Ahhh....the well known illness of "interns syndrome"...not just reserved for med school but also us psychology grads 😂😂😂

[@PWLfr]

Yeah, I went through the whole DSM, when I started diagnosing myself with about half the conditions, I began to think maybe I was a bit overreacting.

[@chrissy96]

It's funny how we arrive at these diagnoses without any lab investigations! 😂😅

[@jessicaroseelizabethp.7911]

I'd had conversations with medical students and had been successful in advising them to not seek unnecessary lab tests 😆

[@patrick815]

This concept is tremendously hilarious. The scene the doc did on the plane with a patient low on insulin feels like the birth of this series.

[@maidy3]

I am a hypochondriac, so, I'm excused from reading that book. However, because I am a hypochondriac I was trying to calm my running mind for a while that the symptoms I had was nothing. It ended up being an ovarian tumor (10cm). Question everything! Don't stop until you have real answers.

[@melcee22]

As a medical student, I need this hotline.

[@jessicaroseelizabethp.7911]

My Infectious Disease Professor on day one gave us the (high) percentage of the students in the class the previous semester who had taken pause as they noticed corresponding symptoms and so she was great the entire semester of paying attention to which things we were studying and adding appropriate encouragement 😆 - so we did not need the hotline because we had our Professor and eachother 😆😆

[@rebeccakeith990]

Love the new wigs!

[@Doc_Schmidt]

Thanks 😅

[@CallieMasters5000]

Did you get a wig sponsor or did a local wig store have a close out sale?

[@jessicaroseelizabethp.7911]

@Callie Masters neither? (me- just guessing)

[@pamelapilling6996]

Sounds like a delightful book. The sketches were awesome 👌 👏

[@veerapandiyan1431]

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy nice touch👍

[@r.b.johnson5269]

Hahaha when I was working on my nursing degree, I had everything we studied!

[@avneesh6299]

His forehead wrinkles form a Y, and now I cannot unsee it

[@emka6475]

I actually met a patient that neuro needed to rule out CJD. No confirmation, but suspected. Never found out the results.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

You guys are brave talking about a book like that! If you end up hearing about someone buying 20 copies from Barnes & Noble you’ll know you’re in trouble!!

[@cinfinator]

Great video!

[@rtyuio6215]

I really wish that I couldn't relate to this video......

[@leshommesdupilly]

Yes ! I found the Takotsubo !

[@SN-hg6bx]

Actually soooo true. Way worse than our patient s coming in after consulting the Internet University 😂🤣

[@donnaleeah5075]

Lolol I need to remember that phrase "Internet University" though I'll change it to "Dr Google University where our motto is Panic first, you know more than any Dr, we offer free courses with no accuracy and yes, you are dying. "

[@grantmegan91]

Miralax is king 👑

[@CallieMasters5000]

Is that the movie studio? They made some good films.

[@jonathanwilliams3240]

You should have put "broken heart syndrome" in a text box so the less medically educated could understand the pun on takotsubo cardiomyopathy!

[@blendedchaitea645]

This reminds me of the time I was convinced that, I, a 20something woman, had gout. I did not have gout. I had a bunion. The podiatrist was not impressed but I hope she was at least amused.

[@Drrobin4345]

Loved it...

[@greggorystevens2637]

Them wigs though😂😅

[@Ellestra]

ah, the burden of too much knowledge

[@jennybarton6057]

But not quite enough!

[@maikeliebtkuchen7706]

When I was in Medschool I was convinced I had Crohn's disease, turns out I'm just lactose intolerant.

[@CallieMasters5000]

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to kill you. What if it IS that one in a million disease?! All the time they interview these poor kids with rare cancers and they all say they want to grow up to be doctors so they can treat other kids with similar problems, so what if these are those rare cases grown up and now in medical school?! Totally could happen.

[@jessicaroseelizabethp.7911]

happened to me- medical textbook photograph of the stretchy skin of a hypermobile Ehler's-Danlos patient and I freaked out my classmates and friends showing them my skin and 4 years later ... diagnosis- luckily it is not (usually) life threatening for patients like me!

[@rtyuio6215]

Something being improbable doesn't make it impossible - This is a principal that will haunt you for your entire medical career.

[@Aevans786]

Could a respiratory illness infiltrate a vertebrae? You sound smart. Will you be my doctor? Sincerely - jaded in Michigan

[@susanferretti5781]

TB is a respiratory disease, but it is caused by a mycobacterium. The bacteria can spread in the body and then effect the vertebrae / spine.

[@Aevans786]

@@susanferretti5781 thank you

[@authorthomasmiller]

Oh that is so funny poor Mindy

'rare respiratory bacterium' tfw you live in a place where self dxing with tb would not actually be that implausible
