A Husband’s Keen Eye
My dad is a doctor. He once diagnosed my mom with a case of retrograde appendix. It’s where the appendix loops around and gets stuck to stuff inside you, then gets infected.
Her normal doctor had put it down to her feeling a bit under the weather. Here’s why that’s a BIG no-no—if it had ruptured, she would have lost her life before I was even born.
The only reason he knew what he was seeing and was able to save her life is that he had studied one case of this during his medical training, as it’s an incredibly rare condition and most doctors won’t ever even see it. Story Credit: Reddit/Possiblyreef
