    Seeing as Dr House and his team regularly come against all sorts of medical mad sh1t, been thinking about what are the maddest diseases out there that people have heard of or maybe even seen....... they have to be worthy of the great Greg though

    You've got the old reliables like Ebola which are also weird/scary but anything else people can come up with?

    Kwashiorkor is pretty bad too but then I've always liked its name for some strange reason, kinda just rolls of the tongue......

    How he got it, what is causing it? Is that not mystery enough, if that guy walked into the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital would House walk away from him? I think not
