That reminds me of a sad story.

The much beloved first wife of Richard Fenyman, a gifted physicist who
worked on the first atom bombs and later was head of Cal Tech, was ill and
the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.  Richard set about
the task himself but the first diagnosis he came up with, a type of
glandular tuberculosis, was so obvious he discarded it immediately thinking
the doctors would have seen it right away.  He began digging deeper for
explainations but never found one.

It took a long time for Arline Fenyman to die, but in the end it was
glandular tuberculosis.
