1) I've yet to be right.

2) I always gravitate to the worst possible scenario.

It turns out that those who have degrees from 4 to 7 years of schooling (or more) might actually know something. Who woulda thunk it?

But, you know, while you're waiting for days or weeks (or months) or answers to some ailments, it's natural to get curious and see if you can diagnose it yourself, even if it's almost always an exercise in futility.
