Manfred, do you actually know what the tumbler test is? If so how could you say this: "
BTW: I am very sceptical about a possible benefit of (prospective) parental education in
meningococcemia. On the other side, I am much less sceptical in stressing the importance of proper
execution to the medical profession. "

The beauty of the tumbler or glass test is its' simplicity and understandibility. A parent simply presses a clear drinking glass against a rash. If it does not disappear they should get the child in to a doctor for examination at once. While not infalable the concept is understood and can be shown to millions repeatedly on t.v. and even in print.

Perhaps U.S. doctors were too proud, must be the Swiss genes at work, to get behind doing this in the U.S.
