In sure infectious dieseas doctors must get exited when bubonic plague comes through.
As a person with a bleeding disorder one time o had a bleed in my elbow joint. Since they had me on a bed in the hallway all the young doctors came by to see what an internal joint bleed looks like.
Also what is required to attend to a hemophiliac because they all assumed one paper cut I’m dead. They had my pain treated with morphine so I told the doctor I’ll answer any questions.
I have a rare neuromuscular disease that has a very particular EMG pattern. The first time I got hospitalised with it, the doctor got so excited she called up a whole group of medical students to show them that pattern (and me). Apparently, I was only the second ever patient of that hospital to have this disease (as far as the doctor remembered). I was glad I could help, lol
I had Stevens-Johnson Syndrome when I was 20 years old. It’s super rare (affects less than 1% of the population) and potentially fatal. Anyways, I went to the ER and a TON of doctors, nurses, medical students etc., asked to see me because they’d heard about it in class, but had never seen it in person.

The mental image of going to the doctor for a urine sample and the urologist being excited about the sample like a kid on Christmas is so funny to me
