Why does everything sound like a disease now?

Someone said “palpitations” during a normal conversation and I immediately started thinking of differential diagnosis.

Someone coughed in the bus and I was like “productive or dry??”

I fear MBBS has permanently rewired my brain. I cannot watch medical dramas anymore without diagnosing the actors mid-scene.

What next? I hear the word ‘rash’ and whip out a dermoscope?
