So I am and have always been a hypochondriac! This is fuelled by the fact that a very good friend of mine is a doctor. I love doctors - hell I wanted to be one. I know it's not quite like Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice, where it's not just a passion for medicine and saving lives but also for good looking doctors, nurses, and on-call rooms - if you know what I mean ;) Medicine seems like a fun field to go into! Aah, no point crying over spilt milk! I missed my chance to become a cardio thoracic surgeon or specialise in neurosurgery... I digress. So back to my friend, we'll call her Dr Specs - she's wanting to pursue a career in Opthamology - important, no doubt - but something I find boring. So I often list my symptoms to her - when I feel this or that - and together we get to the bottom of basically nothing. Feeding my hypochondriacism! I don't have a choice, because recently, whenever I put my symptoms into Web-MD or Wrong Diagnosis or any other thing for that matter - it loves to tell me different variations of how pregnant I am :/ At least it's not like when I had ridiculous headaches and was convinced that I had a brain tumour! Perhaps being a Dr wouldn't have been the best choice for me - instead of focusing on actual patients I would probably constantly be diagnosing myself with life-threatening ailments.
Yep - this is just a bit of a rant due to my lightheaded dizziness, body aches and nausea... I'm probably just hungry...!
