This is a fucking no brainer. You give it to the kid. End of story. She's got her whole life ahead of her.

If I were her father, people would die for this shit.

Postmortem exams suggest diagnostic errors contribute to 10 percent of patient deaths.
Medical records suggest diagnostic errors account for 6 to 17 percent of adverse events in hospitals.
