Reply #19: I'm half kidding - it's not really that interesting.

I was itching a bit, went to my school choir concert and walked off stage, only to realize I had huge, swollen knees and lumpy patches all over my legs. I went to the Dumbest Doctor on Earth, our family practitioner. The guy had NO CLUE what was wrong with me. He treated me for body lice (I was MORTIFIED about that,) and a couple other wierd things, over the course of a week, and finally sent me to a SPECIALIST. I had to see a freaking specialist to diagnose Poison Ivy! I swear, that Doctor could diagnose about five things, and had to refer patients to specialists for everything else.
