There's a hazard associated with being in a medical profession. That hazard is your always assessing people. Therapist is constantly watching how people walk, assessing their gait and movement, whispering to me what she thinks may be wrong with them, and what physical therapy they might need. Being an EMT, I also catch myself inadvertently assessing people's coughs, or their appearance if they seem ill. But you know it's bad when you catch yourself assessing a "patient" based on the lyrics of a song.
To wit: the singer here complains of, or presents with, the following signs and symptoms:
Rising fever
Burning sensations
Encaphalitis
Disorientation
Delusions
Auditory hallucinations
Visual hallucinations
More fever
More burning sensations
Unquenchable thirst
Denial of some conditions
More auditory & visual hallucinations
Fear of flames
Imminent fear of death
Respiratory distress and chest pain
More fever with additional disorientation, delusions, and auditory & visual hallucinations
I present to you the patient, in their own voice, describing these symptoms:
