Okay, that makes sense. No real consequences. That's precisely the thing, isn't it? We're really into using medical words to describe our personalities and the way we feel now. It's a trend. And then once you start using the medical words, then suddenly you find yourself potentially being diagnosed with something. But the line in the sand has got to be disability and impairment.

And that's something I think people need to think about when they're kind of using medical terms in a casual way.

This little town in Kazakhstan called Krasnogorsk. It's literally in the middle of nowhere. Really hard place to get to. In, again, about 2012, 2010, a woman working in the market there, she couldn't be woken up. They noticed that she appeared to be asleep or unconscious. Her name was Lyubov. The other people in the market tried to wake her up. They couldn't. They took her to the hospital.

Nobody could understand what it was. Although it was a small town, it had good health care facilities. So they did all the usual kind of scans and stuff and everything was fine. They said, maybe you've had a stroke, which, to be honest, wasn't a great diagnosis because stroke wouldn't really present like that.

Yeah, she's woken up. They say you probably had a stroke. Go home.

See, I'm not sure that's what they don't want to say. I think that saying you don't know when you don't know isn't that hard. So if someone comes to you and says, I've got a pain in my toe and you don't know, there's not really any recriminations from saying, you know, I'm sorry, I've looked at everything I can. I don't know what that is. Patients don't get angry at that.
