11 Baffling Medical Conditions

abcnews.go.com — They are conditions that one would be hard-pressed to find in medical literature. Bring them up in front of a physician and in some cases you may get little more than a blank stare. But they exist, often as an extreme form of a normal bodily function that most people experience every day.

  • chriscalifornia, on 03/31/2009, -2/+35Buried for equally baffling page layout
  • inactive, on 03/30/2009, -0/+18Dr house would find and cure these after almost killing the patient 2 times.
  • DrDigg, on 03/30/2009, -1/+14I guess when it is a slow news day at abcnews they pull up an old article

    http://digg.com/health/10_Baffling_Medical_Conditi ...

    and add one more medical conditions too it. Viola...news is created.

    They are like the spinal tap of news. What's better than 10 baffling conditions? 11.
  • inactive, on 03/30/2009, -0/+12maybe so, but not quite sure if your services would be required if she had this condition.
    sounds awful.
  • TheSwashbuckler, on 03/30/2009, -1/+12Paging Dr. House...
  • Coven, on 03/30/2009, -0/+10It's never lupus.


    Edit: Except for that one episode where it was lupus
  • shutaro, on 03/30/2009, -0/+9How did Lupus not make the list?
  • RUBallsingMe, on 03/30/2009, -0/+9Did they seriously say that dude scaled mount everest in shorts? WTF?!
  • warpsmith, on 03/30/2009, -0/+9I have seizures when I listen to Sean Paul's music too.
  • TheThirdLevel, on 03/30/2009, -0/+8And in the process steal Wilson's sandwich, stare at Cuddy's ass, and make a few sarcastic comments that damage the souls of the people they affect.
  • petebot, on 03/30/2009, -0/+8It's always lupus.
  • NJSlacker, on 03/30/2009, -2/+9Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome: Now she'll come faster than you do!
  • meruru, on 03/30/2009, -0/+7I swear I've seen this before from ABCNews; do they just recycle this story every month or so?
  • inactive, on 03/30/2009, -0/+7All of these are awefull... except the one where the guy can handle extreme cold with no problems... he's like a superhero.
  • FI5HERMAN, on 03/30/2009, -1/+8Imagine the poor souls with the uncontrolable hic- ups !!!
  • RUBallsingMe, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6They use a viola to create the news? Please do tell how, i have only seen it used to create music.
  • eekthekat, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6Link to the 1 page version.
    http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=7191766
  • RandomNetUser, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6If only it came with an on/off button.
  • Medicamusic, on 03/30/2009, -3/+8What is so hard about making one page? Seriously. Can somebody on Digg tell me?
  • UselessTrivia, on 03/30/2009, -0/+4They missed a lot better medical conditions, like the one where your body essentially turns into stone. Or the reptile baby syndrome. Elephantitis. The man who grew warts that made him look like a tree. All kinds of stuff out there better than "Guy who never forgets stuff"
  • DrDigg, on 03/30/2009, -0/+4Oops, voila. Stupid fat fingers.
  • JCEEZ, on 03/30/2009, -0/+4If you have Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome and your a dude, you become a rapist.

    If you have Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome and your a chick, your the object of every dudes, short-term relationship fantasy
  • mctom987, on 03/30/2009, -0/+4Fewer pages to put ads on.
  • Pegritz, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3How about fibromyalgia. I've had it for years and no one knows what the do with it. It's unbearably miserable unless I'm filled to the gills with painkillers 24/7. I'm gonna ***** out my liver in another few years considering how much medication I take and I can *still* barely move everyday. I'm 36 and I walk like a ***** 90-year-old with a broken hip.
  • inactive, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3That poor kid who grew the pink rings around her eyes! Where do I donate?
  • SpeedStix, on 03/30/2009, -0/+3How awesome would it be to have that resistance to cold and the memory conditions...I would not mind one bit.
  • LacY, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2But some of those (like Elephantiatis) aren't baffling. Weird, but we know what causes it.
  • jmuh, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2Yeah, I had the same thought as UselessTrivia, but quickly came to the same conclusion as LacY.

    There was a related story that seems so much more baffling and interesting than half of the submitted list.

    http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4663185& ...
    "Can 'Tree Man' Be Saved?"
  • NJSlacker, on 03/31/2009, -0/+2@JCEEZ: If you're a dude... "I opened a window and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS
  • chompsky, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2What about never-nudity?
    There are DOZENS of us!
  • TheThirdLevel, on 03/30/2009, -0/+2So basically, anything on House.
  • inactive, on 03/30/2009, -0/+1Isn't Sean Paul music just a recording of a pseudo reggae singer having a seizure?
  • jclaudew, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1back to basic
    http://medicalmalpracticevn.blogspot.com/2009/08/m ...
  • Ne007, on 03/30/2009, -1/+2If it isn't clear cut, out the door in 15 minutes or less with a prescription, then MOST U.S. doctors will be perplexed.
  • taxman18, on 03/30/2009, -0/+1I saw that guy at a news spot and I felt really sorry for him. Imagine if you can not sleep or eat and have pains from all the hic-ups... He sounded like he was losing hope at that point.
  • nepidae, on 03/30/2009, -0/+1I'm a nevernude, there are literally dozens of us!
  • Fabbyfubz, on 03/31/2009, -0/+1That sinister look and those pink goggles just screams: Bond Villain
  • inactive, on 03/30/2009, -0/+1They forgot the curious case of benjamin button.
  • rm249, on 03/30/2009, -0/+1Not being able to forget anything would be amazing for tests and quizzes :P
  • inactive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+1And the people with perfect memory.

    I guess they would hate watching repeats on TV.
  • jonesyno, on 03/30/2009, -1/+1These afflictions and conditions are no longer weird. . . they have made the front page at least twice before.
  • vermontr, on 03/30/2009, -0/+0what, no Morgellons?
  • xGeneric, on 03/30/2009, -1/+1What, no pictures for the "Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome" page?
  • noutlaw, on 04/10/2009, -0/+0Interested in talking with others about medical conditons? try http://facetofacehealth.com it's New!
  • alan4all, on 04/27/2009, -0/+0maybe health science cannot explained what happen to their body, but I believe it must be a logical explanation of their awesome medical conditions.

  • Josexph, on 03/30/2009, -1/+1another baffling medical condition called, uncrontrollable page disorder...seems to be related to digging
  • gkiltz, on 03/31/2009, -0/+0What about Optical Rectumitis?
    That's where the anal nerve gets crossed with the optical nerve and you getting a ***** outlook on life!
    I've had it for years!
