About this ebook

There is danger in delaying the evaluation of an unexplained medical symptom.

The author lists thirty-four such symptoms, describes them in detail, lists the possible diagnoses the symptoms may represent, their urgency, and the consequences of delay in diagnosis.

Procrastination is the thief of time and results in many preventable deaths. Hopefully, the book will stimulate patients to a more prompt appraisal of an unexplained symptom.

    BREAST CHANGES

    The sudden appearance of a lump, skin changes, or nipple changes suggests cancer. This applies to men as well as women.

    These changes include:

    • A spontaneous clear or bloody discharge from one nipple with or without an associated breast lump

    • A sudden retraction or indentation of one nipple

    • A change in the size or shape of one breast

    • Indentation, flattening, retraction of the skin of the breast

    • Persistent nipple rash known as Paget’s disease of the nipple, also called Paget’s disease of the breast, is an uncommon (less than five percent) type of malignancy that forms in or around the nipple

    • Localized breast redness

    • Pitting of the skin of the breast so its appearance looks like the skin of an orange

    Any one or combination of the above mandates a physician evaluation and diagnostic studies to rule out breast cancer.

    BROKEN BONES

    Patients will seek medical help for a broken bone, but if the bone broke with only light trauma, such as a slip, trip, missing a step, or a short fall, the diagnosis is osteoporosis until proven
