So. First up. I am a nurse. Im not fussed if things are not completely accurate and if you have ever worked a day in your life in a hospital you'd know that not everything is exact-people are different they can get different symptoms for the same disease. 

I myself had chicken pox that looked like psoriasis on my head, confused the hell out of doctors. I also am allergic to the flu injection-but I instead get a whooping cough like response. 

Secondly, this is a [i]roleplay[/i] with a [i]talking ape[/i] and a [i]dog that is definitely not normal[/i]. And you're arguing about the accuracy of an illness? Do you not realize how much effort Vicier puts into her roleplays? Do you not know that post took her three days to write? We discussed it for hours tryin to figure out how to start it, and next time I'll make sure that I provide the signs and symptoms (because I kind of forgot to do that, despite knowing what she was going to do) so that it's "medically accurate".

I don't normally like doing this sort of thing in the OOC, but given that my point is I don't think it has to be changed. I have had patients with just one symptom of a disease before and they've been dignosised as having it. Why? Everyone is different. They react differently. Why do you think there is so many different signs and symptoms for cancer? For a heart attack? So many side effects for drugs? [i]people are different[/i]. 

So my stand is that It doesn't really need to be changed.
