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

5% misdiagnosis rate in the US per year.
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.

That's excessive. Over 15% of hospital problems are due to your fuck ups? Straight up one-tenth of all patient deaths are due to your fuck ups?
