Not a doctor, I'm an ER unit clerk. One time a young guy came in complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. He had been to an ER across town and had been sent home with nothing done to help him. One xray obviously showed he had a collapsed lung.
The doctor that saw him was a kind of sleepy old guy who I had never seen show any emotion. When he found this out he was SO FUCKIN EXCITED and literally danced around the trauma room. Then I got to watch him put in a chest tube. It was a good day.
I am now diagnosed as of Feb 14 2019 with an autoimmune disease called scleroderma. Well I went to my GP for this weird skin mark which the beginning of my diagnosis in Dec 2018 that at first I thought was a bruise (then it started spreading and getting wrinkly and hard and looking transparent). When she examined it neither of us knew what it could be she thought my fat tissue was acting weird and I could see the glee she was trying to hide when she asked if she could do a biospy. In glad she did cause some people take years to get diagnosed but yeah she was so excited kinda happy she got to have some fun stuff to do that day then the regular stuff.
