It's just really rare and bizarre. By the way, I don't think they'd do TSS as a major medical mystery; it's just way too common and would be quick to recognize.

I watched two episodes; found this site; predicted chimerism on 1/19/09; became a fan and have since watched about 25 episodes in one month courtesy of USA network; checked the listings for tonight's new episode; Bingo! "The team treats a teen who doesn't know he has genetic mosaicism" Not sure how it will present as a problem, but it won't be a donor issue. I'm thinking parts of him will have some genetic disorder that isn't revealed by a first test that turns out to have been from the alternate population of cells.

My wife almost died from it. A colleague of hers at work did die from it. It first presents like a flu, but then gets rapidly worse. If you don't catch it in time then organs start failing.

Chiari malformation, syringomyelia, or ehlers danlos. It took me 8 yrs worth of doctors visits to get a diagnosis so it can be considered an interesting case. Also the very fact it gets mis diagnosed as ms and many other conditions and therefore not treated well. I love the fact when I go to the doctors they print out web pages to put in the file so everyone can actually know what the hell I have. I would like them to do something on one of my conditions.
