...with a little help from my friends
Hi all
I'm doing a presentation in my consumer health class, and I'm responsible for our little game of Medical Balderdash of sorts.
So, basically I'm going to need your help making up some of the definitions.

Platar facsciitis I should be able to describe in *excruciating* detail, as that's what I ended up with after working at SBUX this summer. I don't know the actual terminology, but it involves a muscle in the foot going out of whack. I'm actually blanking on whether it's the [Plantar] muscle on the bottom of the foot, or around the Achilles tendon (I had problems with both). It's an "itis", so I guess it's an inflammation. Mine was caused likely because of excessive pronation (I have bad ankles and bad posture) combined with overuse (on my feet 8 hours a day!). Every morning when I woke up my feet were basically just curled up and I had to work them out carefully.
Consumption is ye olde name for tuberculosis. I believe because in its final stages it advances so rapidly that the person appears to be "consumed" as they waste away.
That's all I got. "Quinsy" sounds awesome thought, whatever it is. Almost as good as "rickets". They just don't name them like they used to.
