A patient today "I got these itchy spots all over my body that don't go away no matter what"
The doctor "you were here 2 days ago, did you try the benedryll like I said?"
Patient "yes and it didn't work, what's wrong with me doctor"
Me "hm, do you notice these only appear on places exposed to the sun?"
Patient "hm, yeah just like my dad. He had this rash that was caused by the sun and treated with this medication - I don't remember the name of it"
Me "hmm you ever think you might have the same thing"
The patient "no"
The doctor "no, let's test for lupus"
Me *wtf*
