Hello everybody -- "House" is the name of the
best medical drama ever. It is amazing. Every week this crack team
of superspecialists gets one patient who nobody else can figure of what's
wrong with. They write his symptoms on a whiteboard, and strategize and
throw ideas around. It is truly fascinating to watch the *process* that
their genius medical minds go through as they try one diagnosis, reject it, and
then try another and another. (Your doctors probably went through some of
the same things too when you first went in with symptoms!) Sometimes it
turns out to be something very simple, and sometimes very complex. (The
first episode turned out to be african sleeping sickness. The patient herself
had never been to africa, so they doubted the diagnosis, until they learned
that she had an affair with someone who went to africa, and got it that
way.) Only that one black kid with the TM has died -- but he died of
radiation poisoning, not TM -- they saved all the other ones. Watching
their genius minds work is what is so fascinating. They are now rerunning
the whole season throughout the summer, Tuesday nights from 8-10 EST on
FOX. This is the second season, the first season is on DVD
already. My friend with TM finds this the most fascinating show ever,
because now that she's been through seeing multiple doctors and had an
unbelievable number of tests, she understands the show perfectly. I have
sarcoidosis, and they have not done a show on that yet. However, when
someone comes in, they usually mention sarcoidosis as a possibility, but then
quickly dismiss it. Darn.
That disease can also be fascinating....maybe
next season!
Take care everybody --
Michelle
