“so let’s see everyone is an expert at math, economics, and now youre all doctors!”
I’m not a doctor; I just play one on OT.
But rob doesn’t go to the hospital – he just tells us about his symptoms. I think he’s more Baron Sacher-Masoch than Munchausen.
I wonder if there’s a website that tests one’s knowledge of statistics.
i love how everyone is some sort of medical expert here :-/

Anybody else think Rob has this? No wonder he doesn’t like nurses; they’re on to him.
Münchausen syndrome is a term for psychiatric disorders known as factitious disorders wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves. It is also sometimes known as hospital addiction syndrome or hospital hopper syndrome. Nurses sometimes refer to them as frequent flyers, because they return to the hospital just like frequent flyers return to the airport. However, there is discussion to reclassify them as somatoform disorder in the DSM-5 as it is unclear whether or not people are conscious of drawing attention to themselves.
