> It’s also worth noting at this point in the story that Atrial Fibrillation is extremely rare in men my age. Less than two percent of people in my demographic have it. Go figure. When I do something, I go big I guess.
This is looking at it backwards. How many serious health problems have similar rates of affliction? If there are 50 different potential health problems then he has a 2 in 3 chance of having at least one of those.
- Gibbon1 8y agoThis reminds me of Lupus and Guillain-Barre syndrome both rare diseases. But I know half a dosen people with lupus and four people that had Guillain-Barre and suffer lingering effects. So if you're a doctor it's really unlikely that you patient has either of those. But start adding up all of those rare syndromes and it starts getting scary.
