House

Washington MD

I think one of the last things you ever want to here is the following:

TEEN OUTSMARTS DOCTORS IN SCIENCE CLASS

That phrase concerns me, right along with A) The condom broke and I’m pregnant, B) Bend over buddy, and relaaaaaaax, and C) Son, your mother and I have decided we’d like to attend our next “swinger” party.  These all make my nipples contract with fear.

But apparently this really happened at Eastside Catholic School in Washington. 

“Eighteen-year-old Jessica Terry, brought slides of her own intestinal tissue into her AP science class and correctly diagnosed herself with Crohn’s disease.”  (How the fuck did she get these by the way?)

“For years she went from doctor to doctor complaining of vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss and stomach pains. They said she had irritable bowel syndrome. They said she had colitis. They said the slides of her intestinal tissue were fine, but she knew that wasn’t right.”

Years. Doctors misdiagnoed her for YEARS.  What kind of test to you have to take to become a doctor in Washington? 

If I ever end up at a doctor’s office in Washington I’m going to bring a Merck Manual, a dictionary, and season’s 1-4 of House.  Make damn sure I know what I got and how to get rid of it!

WTF!
