Physicians diagnose famous works of fine art with #MedicalizeArt

A social media trend has physicians identifying the types of ailments figures in some of the world's finest paintings may secretly be suffering from, according to Time.

Various physicians, residents and medical students took to Twitter Tuesday to have some fun diagnosing the physical ailments the subjects of history's most notable art may secretly have based on the way they were drawn, sculpted or painted.

Some of the diagnoses include the drawing of Leonardo Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" as having restless leg syndrome, and the pop art figure of Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol as suffering from acetaldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.
