I personally think there should be an option when you roll up to urgent care where you can write what you suspect your diagnosis is on a little paper before the doctor sees you and if you’re right you get a sticker

JRRT actually doesn’t roll in his grave when you write gay fanfic about his characters, he rolls in his grave when you write them with American accents.
