It's always this one thing.
And it's like, come on, that's not any part of medicine.
That's ridiculous.
What do you think we went through all that college and medical school and training and everything else just to be, I don't know, even worse than AI would be on such stuff?
Exactly.
Don't do that.
I mean, and we get all kinds of different kinds of diagnosis we have to think about.
Now, there's a lot that, you know, at a trial they bring up that are ridiculous type of things.
But then there are some things that come up, for instance, there's some called ITP.
And I bring that because we just.
I just recently had a case, it wasn't ITP, but I was having my trainees talk about it and everything.
And I've seen a number of those cases where they show up and they have these blotchy bruises on their skin and they have a bleeding disorder.
because they have very low platelets.
And you take a look at that and you say, well, that's not child abuse, but you got to go to the hospital because we got to do a few things with you anyway.
And you'll eventually get better from it.
Although it might take months and months, you know, to do various things.
There's other conditions.
There's something called phytophotodermatitis, which we're a little bit prone to in Florida, maybe.
and that's where you get like say lemon juice on your skin and then you're out in the sun and then you get this reaction and it look kind of look like a bruise and so I've seen those and my colleagues have seen those you know you take a look and say well doesn't quite look like a bruise now that we look at it really really carefully but I understand why someone thought that and then you said I got the door and have a good life um you know and and it's not an issue
But we've helped them understand something, a condition that's going on.
