Under Scrutiny

During the two weeks of Pediatric Genetics that I just completed, most of the patients that I saw had abnormal facial features.  And now I'm so used to closely inspecting eyes, ears, noses, hands, and other body parts for irregularities and asymmetries that I think I'm starting to notice them in everyone I see.  Friends, colleagues, strangers: they all look just a little bit syndromic to me.  I can't help it!  Don't judge me for judging you.
