Now there's a complete patient history for you. It sounds like you
(maybe) could rule out Ebola virus; otherwise, these symptoms could
indicate anything from hypochondria to heart failure. Have you
considered the diagnosis that maybe she just doesn't want to go out with
you anymore? Surely you jest.

Either she needs a better doctor or you need a different project. Does
this mean I failed your pop quiz?
Good luck. -- Dom Spinella
