What the hell is the matter with those idiot doctors quoted in the story? If somebody shows up in their office with a horrible skin disease, they think they're crazy? I would kick that doctor's ass and rub my lesions all over his face.
There are some who seem to think that if they don't know something, it must not exist; the God complex I suppose. Heck, there are just some bad doctors out there. I came down with Bell's Palsy a few years ago. Not ever been familiar with it, it scared the heck out of me and off to the emergency room I went thinking I was having a stroke. My face was obviously paralyzed; I couldn't move a muscle on the left side of my face. The ER doc diagnosed it as sinusitis, interrupting and dismissing my complaints that I had never heard of sinusitis paralyzing one's head.
