PTR,

Surely there's something that's both a Greek dessert and a medical ailment?

Is there not some sort of syndrome you can develop from eating too much baklava whereby your skin on your face and head (except for immediately around your eyes) develops a knitted texture?

It sounds like you're speaking from bitter personal experience.

I've heard of that condition - the patient normally goes on a crime spree shortly after diagnosis don't they?

That, or a pleasant skiing holiday...

YAY all right! Does that make me a good Dr or a true Greek?

If you weren't Greek or a good doctor before you did the quiz, I'm afraid you won't be one now.
