From the film’s YouTube page:

Alani is a first-year medical student who struggles with stress and anxiety. She turns to her medical school advisor, Dr. Mose, for help. As the pressures of medical school begin to take physical form, Alani realizes that Dr. Mose isn’t helping her, and she is left alone to deal with the increasingly terrifying sights and sounds that she alone seems to experience.

History of Present Illness portrays the initial, daunting, years of medical school from a medical student’s perspective.
