Did you know that retinal detachment can occur spontaneously in the elderly or the very near-sighted?

Spontaneous Retinal Detachment. It could possibly knock Compartmental Syndrome off the top of my chosen Hurt list, just because I like how it sounds.

OH! And I have diagnosed myself with Mostly West Nile Meningitis which, for the sake of simplicity and familiarity, we are calling "Marv."

I actually feel much better, but I know that this is all just a trick, so I don't trust it.

Sure did. I had known about it prior, but my eye doctor started warning me about my risks two years ago. It's a whole different scenario when you're researching it in general and then when you're faced with it as your possible reality.

I found out about it because I was surfing WebMD because my left eye hurts and I just happened to stumble upon the symptoms of retinal detachment.

I should not be allowed on WebMD, btw. Seriously, not allowed.

What's bad is, I work in healthcare education and our game of fun is to read through the DSM Casebook. We've self-diagnosed half the company with psychological disorders.

Oh that is like the hobby of every single Undergrad Psych Major ever. I still like to do that for fictional television characters when I get really stressed. It relaxes me.
