    I learned a long time ago - medicine is many times a "best guess". Sometimes they get it right - sometimes, well...

    I just had a doctor swear up and down the spot on my shoulder was skin cancer and needed to be IMMEDIATELY removed. He is supposed to be one of the best Dermatologists in our area (and there are a crapload of them!). Biopsy comes back - it's "scar tissue" - so much for him being positive it was cancer... Now I'm going to have an even bigger scar where the scar used to be.

    Read up on Migraine headaches - see what the doctors tell ya. Some say it's "vascular", while others say it's "nerves". And both are only half right...

    That sounds like something to really be concerned about, Ken. Randomly passing out is not a good thing! I wouldn't play around with doctors "guessing" at what it might be. You might want to think about the Cleveland Clinic or the Mayo Clinic. There are some of the best experts in the world at those two places. If someone is going to be guessing - that's where I'd like it to be...

    Good luck - I hope it's nothing more than the brand of coffee you were drinking!
