    I’m a Neuroradiologist and occasionally people ask me “Have you ever scanned your own brain?” when they find out my profession.

    Abso-fucking-lutely not. I’ve seen how many people have random abnormalities that are unknown until discovered incidentally when having an unrelated problem evaluated. Finding something abnormal in my brain would no doubt keep me up at night even if it was something medically considered unimportant. No way I’m going to scan myself just for fun.
