She correctly diagnosed her condition, despite doctors continually telling her it was something else.

Not only that, but she's a private school student also.

I think she probably spent more time examining the slide that the basic lab tech would.

Yeah, but with our wiz-bang health system, I'll make a million dollar bet that if she tried to pay someone cash to look at it closely, she'd probably get arrested.

Kind of an unfortunate "victory" though. Its always good to think critically about what your docs are telling you. Yes they have the training, but sometimes they let their presuppositions get in the way, or dont put enough time into your case.
