    Guillain-Barré syndrome. I was almost completely paralyzed for two weeks, in the ICU. It took them several days to diagnose. It was being in a episode of House.

    Went home a week later once treatment started kicking in and I passed all the physical exams. Took 3 months for a full recovery.

    It’s very rare condition and every med student in the entire hospital wanted to hang out with me and take my history. I have never been so popular in my life. They literally wheeled me down to a lecture hall and did a diagnostic seminar on me.
