Or should I say zebra? In med school, potential doctors are told "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras". Well, what about those of us who are zebras? What does that say to those who don't fit any mold of illness or have multiple illnesses which paint stripes?

My primary care doctor sees horses, but every now and then she does notice a stripe. The thing is, she tries to get rid of the stripe instead of looking at what caused it. And she's not alone. Frankly, I'm wondering if there really are any horses out there? Ok...ok....I guess there are. Maybe.

Diabetes, you say, is a horse. Nope.... Did you know that endocrine disease can cause it? And that it is just a secondary symptom? You didn't know that? Don't worry. Most endocrinologists don't seem to, either. Thankfully, I never had that particular stripe.
