I managed to get there in four guesses and wasn't in the top 50% of players? Are actual doctors playing this? I felt so proud of actually figuring it, still do I suppose, just surprised so many people got it faster!
The top 50% are people who do it in one guess in a new window for no other reason than to have a browser game tell them they're amazing for cheating at a browser game. People cheat at Bloons, of...
The top 50% are people who do it in one guess in a new window for no other reason than to have a browser game tell them they're amazing for cheating at a browser game. People cheat at Bloons, of all things. People have one-guess streaks on Wordle. People are weird.
It's very possible most people who play it are med students. It's the kind of thing where it's not really even fun if you don't have some kind of medical training. It'd be like if you asked...

I mean, I thought it was kind of fun to play Google medical-diagnosis by making an initial guess and then researching the symptoms. I don't think you have to try to push through completely blind.

I’m definitely going to make my fourth guess “Lupus” from here on out though, in honor of the show.
Haha my first thought was hypoglycemia only based off that small amount of information as well. Since it wasn’t listed I guessed DKA -> subdural hematoma -> viral meningitis -> then got it on the...
Haha my first thought was hypoglycemia only based off that small amount of information as well. Since it wasn’t listed I guessed DKA -> subdural hematoma -> viral meningitis -> then got it on the 4th try guessing meningococcal meningitis.
There is NO way anyone would have guessed that on the first try with the info they gave initially 😂. I did subdural hematoma next because of headache after night out, a lot of practice tests use this to make it a sneaky trauma patient by stating they could have hit their head and not remembered it because they were intoxicated. After mentioning the temperature I suspected it was some type of infection + was keeping headache in my mind. Once photophobia and stiff neck was brought up I knew it for sure had to be some sort of meningitis, but it wasn’t sure which type of meningitis until they mentioned the purple lesions.

My mom and I literally JUST talked about it right before I checked Tildes and tried this out. I don't know if this choice was intentional or just a weird coincidence.
That said, I got it totally wrong.
My first assumption was more "diabetes complication" for some reason... And I promptly learned I have no clue what various medical terms would be used for the more specific ailments.
Ahhh I can’t believe you only get one a day! This is so fun. It’s a nice little test for my triage skills I’ve gained by working in the emergency department. I’ll totally be playing daily until...

It’s a nice little test for my triage skills I’ve gained by working in the emergency department. I’ll totally be playing daily until the novelty wears off 👀.
See my other comment above for my rationale to getting today’s answer. Let me know if there is any interest in me posting my rational for the next questions when they come, I would be happy to ramble.

I can't choose "Hypoglycemia" as an option, which makes me wonder where it pulls its criteria of valid diagnoses from.
