Ever wonder how a patient can mimic symptoms of a disease they don’t really have? Join hosts Anna Zarov and Olivia Horrigan as they unpack another eventful episode in this week's Myth vs Medicine: Debunking Grey's Anatomy podcast show. In this episode, we will cover:

• Cystic Fibrosis - with a special guest appearance from Dr. Thomas Sisson, MD!
• A behavioral disorder where patients manifest symptoms of a disease they don’t have 
• Why Ellis Grey is scrubbing in for surgery
• The lines of patient care etiquette that may be blurred by personal relationships
