I mean, you say, look, I have by dysmorphia.

The fact that you say that means you probably really don't have much of it.

And you may have some of it because one huge thing with by dysmorphia is that people who have it

don't believe they have it you know and so somebody will say hey they've got like a little bump on their nose and for you and i we may see them and go oh there's a little bump there their nose looks fine but to them that bump is the size of mount rushmore and they don't understand why we can't see how horrible their nose looks and so a lot of times then they'll undergo surgery after surgery after surgery to correct a perceived problem right

That was never even there in the first place.

And they don't even, and for them, the reality is very different.

You know, they see things that we literally don't see.

Like, it's their reality.

You think so, Mimi?

I won't be so long-winded on the next one.

So we do that in medical school and residency.

And the good thing is that you're not the first one to do it.

And so you're assisting.

And I think it's the first time it's your patient is when it's really scary.

Because being a resident, there was always backup.

When we did surgery in residency, you had the older surgeon basically saying, like, cut here.

I remember the first time they actually, I was operating with the surgeon.

I was, I think, maybe an intern.

And I was doing, essentially, it was a hernia.

And that's one of the basic operations.
