HOUSE this diagnosis?
A German doctor and keen fan
of the medical TV programme
House figured out what was
wrong with a patient thanks to
a diagnosis made by the lead
character on the show.
The patient’s condition had
stumped other doctors, until
Dr Juergen R. Schaefer saw him
and realised the symptoms were
similar to those of a character on
the show who had heart failure,
the Sydney Morning Herald
reported.
The diagnosis handed down
by House proved to be the same
for Schaefer’s patient, cobalt
poisoning from an artificial metal
hip, which, when replaced, helped
with some of his symptoms, the
publication said.
THAT should be against the law!
There are some interesting
people in the world: Pamela
Stickler from Southern California
has filed close to 80 lawsuits,
most of which have been thrown
out.
The people or organisations
she has filed against include the
Spanish Royal Family, Bill Clinton
and the IRS, XETV San Diego 6
News reported.
Stickler has been placed on a list
of ‘Vexatious Litigants’, it said.
