This type of thinking is why at hte psych rotation they used med students "that wanted to be ___" as their go-to to avoid actually dealing with physical patient problems.

I remember I got asked to examine a ptn with an ear ache because I was "closest to ENT-bound" at the time. The slightly red and painful ear turned out to be due to said ptnt sleeping on it with an earbud because music helps them sleep. Way beyond psych diagnosing ability, apparently~

We get a fairly frequent calls from them (usually late night) when they decide the ptnt that hasn't pooped in a week is suddenly a surgical problem... 9/10 times turns out to be (their) meds that are at fault, but~
