    When doctors do not know the cause of a condition, they often refer to it as, "idiopathic"

    • @WarblesOnALot
      @WarblesOnALot Před 9 měsíci +18

      G'day,
      Yes..., Indeed.
      And when they
      Do know what causes many diseases, they call that,
      "iatrogenic..."
      Meaning, the
      Disease which was
      Caused by
      Medical Professionals.
      Eg, Reichsmarshall Herman Goring had an
      iatrogenic addiction to
      Morphine...;
      In 1923 he was shot in the leg during the Munich
      Beerhall Putsch.
      During subsequent Treatment he was given
      Morphine, for the pain.
      But as an infant he suffered
      Traumatic Maternal Deprivation Syndrome ; and having encountered Opiates,
      Bingo - he was addicted to the
      Pain Relief for the rest of his life.
      Just(ifiably ?) sayin',
      Such is life,
      Have a good one...
      Stay safe.
      ;-p

    Yes Simon, you are correct. The kidneys can and do wander sometimes, as do some other organs. When in utero my son had two kidneys, but one was much smaller than it should have been. By the time he was born the body had reabsorbed the weak kidney and the good one left had started to move centrally. By the time he was one, it had moved all the way to be sitting directly behind his spine.

    A friend of a friend was diagnosed with "essential tremor" because they couldn't pin diwn what was causing it and they had to call it something.
    After 5 kinds if medication that can help similar conditions, she still had it to the point she couldn't do her job, and they were running out if options for treatment. Not knowing her directly, I don't know if the problem was ever sorted.

    As a female cellist, I do actually have a physical issue associated with the instrument right around where a scrotum would be.
    I'm extremely short, so I can't reach the ground with my feet if I'm sitting in a traditionally sized chair used in an orchestra. So I sit on the tip of my chair and a lot of my 100 lbs is pressed against the lip of the seat, which proceeds to cut off the blood supply to my legs after awhile and my legs go painfully tingly and then numb. I have to bring a shorter chair, for serious.

    • @saeveth

      That sounds horrible! I am super short but can’t play any instruments. However my feet don’t reach the floor in most chairs if I sit properly, I was going to say I felt your pain until you got to the point where it cut off blood supply. That is a unique kind of horrible.

    Well I'm diagnosed with a physiological tremor (is that the diagnosis you're looking for?) which means my arm shakes, my left one and I'm left handed, later a neurologist did loads of tests on me and came to the conclusion I was dead due to lack of responses by my body (obviously he knew I wasn't dead as he was in conversation with me) basically ne couldn't work out what was wrong with my arm. My personal theory is that when I was motorcycling through southern Greece I got stung on my left nipple (a major nerve cluster) by a scorpion (hurt like hell for weeks) and that damaged nerves to my left arm.
