1.5 cm, so nothing too drastic), and when I was younger, I had to see a specialist because I also had scoliosis. The doctor was older and German and had three international interns: one from South Africa, one from Mexico, and one from China. After taking x-rays, the German doctor returned and informed me that my right leg was shorter than my left, pointing to the hip displacement in the x-ray.
I corrected him, but he insisted that my right leg was shorter. The South African came to my defense and pointed out that he was looking at the X-ray backward. The German doctor didn’t believe any of it, and their argument got so heated that the Mexican and Chinese doctors excused themselves.
5. The Motorcycle Mishap Became a Timeless Family Tale
u/TheOnlyOne87: I was about five years old at the time. We had a big field beside our house where my two older brothers and I rode our mini motorcycle around.
Anyway, I crashed the bike and cut my leg open pretty badly. So, I was taken to the local doctor for stitches. He pulled down my little trousers, and I wasn’t wearing any underwear.
Twenty years later, I still have the scar on my leg. And my lack of underwear is still a regular family anecdote.

The Unexpected Encounter with Doctor Who Compared Me to John Cusack
u/BosskHogg: A few years back, I ended up getting the flu. My wife took me to a 24-hour emergency clinic near our house. The doctor on duty was in her mid-30s and kind of cute.
My wife was in the waiting room, and I was with the doctor in a patient room when the doctor turned to me and said, “You look just like John Cusack” (which I do). I told her I get that all the time, but she kept repeating it, and she began sounding creepy. So I’m lying on the bed, trying my hardest not to pass out, and the doctor begins playing with my hair, talking about John Cusack before my wife walks in.
