More amazing (to me) was that a doctor actually solved this problem effectively. A few times that I went to doctors with minor problems in the last decade, they usually had no clue what's wrong (they even admitted it), but prescribed antibiotics.
- J5892 7y agoI imagine the biggest challenge your doctors faced was diagnosis. It's a lot easier to treat someone when you can diagnose them at a glance.
- p1esk 7y agoBlue skin is a symptom, not a diagnosis. I doubt the doctor who saw him could immediately diagnose it, however he didn’t give up and cracked that case eventually (and even found the cure!)
- J5892 7y agoWell yeah. I was simplifying a bit. The doctor would have to do a bit of research, but being such a rare symptom, achieving a diagnosis for blue skin would be much easier than reaching a single diagnosis from something like chest pain.
