What�s scary about being a medical student is that sometimes, you tend to make explanations for the strange things that happen to you.
When you hear unexplained voices speaking on your ear, you don�t immediately regard it as supernatural. You have two options: it�s either some medical brain condition, or could be psychological. The way you asses yourself can tell you which is which.
Paranoia isn�t odd in the medical world. When you study different signs and symptoms of diseases, you tend to correlate it with your own; just like when people look up their symptoms on the internet, and they come up with one disease - CANCER.
But what would you do if it was you? If you yourself believe that you don�t have the ability to go beyond the realms of the real world, yet you hear stuff you are not able to hear. Should you go get a CT-Scan, or go straight to psychiatrist for a consult?
That kind of decision has never been easy. For a positive result from either consultations can never be good.
