Being a doctor isn't for the faint of heart, especially when you have to treat dumb patients who have no clue how to take care of themselves.

You might think that after a few years on the job, your average doctor is a lot like your average New Yorker – they’ve seen it all.

Doctors don't have the answers to everything. Sometimes that leads to sad moments, but other times it leads to complete miracles.

Medical professionals share their most outrageous stories about patients who attempted to figure out their own medical problems and the consequenes of such.

It's part of their job to leave judgments out of the equation. Yet, we often still have a hard time admitting certain things to medical professionals.

From stubborn people who self-diagnose to patients who are totally clueless of their health situation, these stories are sure to make you shake your head.
