fever sweats
A condition characterized by an inability to function in the clinic due to debilitating fever and profuse sweating.
Frequently seen in ophthalmology residents who see patient's on-call after 12:00 a.m.
A common side effect of fever sweats is temporary hearing loss and the inability to hear your morning alarm.
Often, fever sweats will resolve spontaneously without any treatment. Once resolved, the person will feel back to baseline as if nothing happened.
The long-term sequelae of fever sweats is a weirdly sensation that lasts up to 3 years from the onset of fever sweats.
Signs and symptoms of fever sweats usually manifest during the resident's post-call day
The etiology of fever sweats is unknown, but is more common in highly intelligent ophthalmology residents with advanced degrees e.g. MD, PhD
