Yes. My ex-wife is in medical books for inexplicable ugliness. No doctors have ever seen anyone that ugly.
Did you ever know anyone who was put into a medical book for something the doctors hadn't seen?
Yes, my poor step-father has the distinction of being one of the first patients to have come down with that nasty flesh eating disease in L.A. County. They had him quarantined and had doctors from all around come in to see his case. He lived and miraculously had very little permanent damage as a result.
My mom had what the first doctor claimed was ringworm on her upper arm. She knew what ringworm looked like and got a second opinion cuz she didn't think the first doctor was right. It's a good thing she did. The second doctor said it is definitly not ringworm and he had no clue what it was so he set her up with a biopsy. They ended up doing it in a surgical environment, put her under anesthesia, and removed the whole thing which went into her muscle. I guess the doctor kept it to show her after she came to stating they still have no clue what it was and said he was gonna put it in a medical book. I asked my mom if they ever diagnosed her with what it was and she said last she heard, they still didn't know. 😮🤔
I am in some “optometry” medical journal someplace.
Apparently coal miners develop a condition caused by coal dust. Their vision is affected to the point where
they cannot truly see a straight line. Their brain fools them into thinking it
is straight but in actuality it is off by 10 to 20 degrees. I was never a coal
miner. But it was discovered I had the same condition during a medical exam in
the US Army back in the early sixties. After days of research and questions I
finally remembered as a child I used to shovel coal into furnaces in city
tenements to earn some money. The doctors were very excited and wrote me up. It
also answered the question why I was so bad at wood working. I could never make
a straight cut unless I used a miter box or a fixed guide.
