I had seen this earlier in the week and then had a friend rediscover it (thanks LauraLe!): Teen diagnoses her own disease in science class
“...looking under the microscope at slides of her own intestinal tissue—slides her pathologist had said were completely normal...spotted an area of inflamed tissue called a granuloma, a clear indication that she had Crohn's disease.”
CNN is a bit off as (a) granuloma can be a sign of many things—not solely Crohn’s disease. Still, it’s quite a unique way of proving your own worth as a scientist and a patient.
Nice work Jessica! I wish I had been so industrious in my AP classes.
