Extremely interesting. Dad was a pathologist and County Coroner so he had some pretty gruesome stories. Then he like to talk about as being a resident in the ER and the horror show and what people did to themselves. Then there were always JAMA mags about with all sorts of pictures and descriptions of diseases and treatments. We also have an OBGYN who does robotic surgery and has lots of tails. She regularly gives me copies of her Obstetrics and Gynecology mag which is pretty fascinating. I knew women had ‘female issues’ but had no idea about how many and how complex they can be. Be happy to be a male. Then there is the PCP with pretty wild stories of what comes into his exam rooms. Lots of laughs and grimaces.
Between my Bio Sci major, all the medical journals I have read and the stories of the family, I have become a fairly accurate diagnostician of the mundane - specific female issues aside.
