Whoa, that is a zebra! When residents first start treating patients, the experienced doctors tell them, "When you hear hoofbeats, don't think zebras, think horses." Translation, just because you read about all these odd-ball diseases in your medical books doesn't mean you should look for them. It's more likely than not that the patient has one of the ordinary diseases.

But in Edwarda's case, it may be time to be thinking about zebras.

I was thinking more along the lines of Legionaire's Disease, also caused by molds in damp places.
