Patient comes in with abdominal pain.
"I think it's my gallbladder," they say.
Looking over their chart, I see their gallbladder was removed 20 years ago so that is impossible. I mention this, to which they reply "yeah but it grew back."
Edit: Yes I know there are a number of other things it could've been. A retained stone crossed my mind, but after 20+ years I found this unlikely. He/she also had the scar to vouch for the surgery. There was definitely a psychosocial element to this case.
