Back when we were living in Hawaii, Dad was an Air Force officer, so our medical care was the military. My mom developed a very sensitive spot on her abdomen so dad got her to the clinic on base at Hickam. They just sent her off to Trippler Army hospital were we usually ended up if it was more than a runny nose or a minor cut. Mom had a team of 6 doctors, all young and just out of med school. They could not figure it out, so they actually sent her to the 4th floor, which was the looney tunes floor for crazies. She passed the crazy tests and they sent her back to the medical ward. The same doctors were all huddled up discussing the issue when the senior doctor cam in. He looked at the chart, and examined mom for a few seconds, and said this is a classic "textbook" case of appendicitis. Get her into the operating room STAT. The opened her up and said her appendicitis was minutes away from rupture.
Had it not been for the one smart doc, the other 6 would had killer her with inaction.
