Live Python error analysis with medical metaphors
# Error Detection Lab - Python Exception Analysis
# Current Patient (Error) Under Analysis:
# Status: CRITICAL - Using assignment (=) instead of comparison (==) in if statement
# Problematic Code:
if x = 5:  # ⚠️ This will cause SyntaxError
    print('Hello')  # ⚠️ This will cause SyntaxError
# Treatment (Try/Except Prescription):
try:
    if x = 5:
        print('Hello')
except SyntaxError as e:
    print(f"Treated SyntaxError: {e}")
    # Patient stabilized! ✅
