I'm reminded of a college friend who knew she had a congenital heart condition, but had never been particularly alarmed by it until she was hospitalized with pneumonia and asked a medical student why there was a steady stream of docs and students through her room. Student said, "Well, you see, we've never seen anyone with your condition live this long before..."
Yes! You never want to be Exhibit A for the residents. (I am glad she was alive.)
