A healer I know started experience excruciating pain in his chest. His wife insisted he go have it checked out (he, of course, was reluctant to do so, preferring to wait until the pain went away on its own).
He was diagnosed with an aortic dissection, a potentially fatal condition -- often as a result of misdiagnosis. It turns out that the doctor who examined my friend actually looks for aortic dissections in patients presenting with heart problems. Why? Because his own father was one of those people who died as a result of a misdiagnosis of the problem.
The doctor arranged for my friend to be helicoptered to Stanford University Hospital for emergency heart surgery to repair the aorta. He's mending nicely.
