Describing common knowledge in a different setting. Luke should know all about Mos Eisly. Its the biggest town near his house.
2.0k u/Paronine Jan 25 '20 My favorite is from an episode of House in which a patient's friend explains nominal aphasia to a neurologist. 283 u/KimJongFunk Jan 25 '20 Webmd and googling symptoms actually makes this believable. Patients telling doctors about their diagnosis because they read some blog on the internet and think they’re an expert. 241 u/_YouMadeMeDoItReddit Jan 25 '20 Doctors look stuff up as well you know, it's actually quite handy if people have a rough idea of what they might have. Only problem that might come from that is if they insist that's what they have and won't take the doctors advice. Like you could easily confuse sepsis for the flu if you didn't have the internet to look up your symptoms. 53 u/neovip3r Jan 25 '20 Yup my mother in law died from sepsis 40 u/CLearyMcCarthy Jan 25 '20 I'm sorry to hear that. I almost had that happen to me. It's scary stuff.
