This week, how about letting me relax, and you play doctor? I'll just pass along pertinent facts about a patient. Then you can see how smart you are in making a diagnosis. First, a couple of clues. The final diagnosis was made by common sense, not by fancy hospital tests. And it's also possible that any of us could arrive home from vacation with this distressful problem.
Don't feel bad if at this point you haven't figured out the diagnosis. Several different specialists had also seen this patient to no avail. So the patient was sent home with the diagnosis, "iron-deficiency anemia without any known cause.
Many years ago, bedbug infestation was so common that the phrase "Don't let the bedbugs bite" was a frequent farewell. But bedbugs were nearly eradicated years ago by the insecticide ...

We sat down at his kitchen table and chatted for a while. [William Woodford] doesn't talk much about his experience at the Indian residential school at Elkhorn, and that's OK. He's put that part of his past away. You've got to respect your elders, after all.
So we chatted about other things. I told him about my family and where I was from, and he told me a bit about his family and his life. Woodford told me he's from "Fairford" but he's been living in the same place in Winnipeg for 20 years. He enjoys living in the inner city. He has a bit of arthritis, and we both have some iron-deficiency issues. He's also given up smoking -- and doing really well.

Here's what happens. The first set of leaves produced during the early part of spring develop a good green colour. But, as the spring turns into early summer, the new leaves become yellowish-green in colour. The yellowing of leaves as a result of soil-nutrient deficiencies is called chlorosis, and it is a serious disease. Some trees and woody shrubs are more susceptible to this colour change than other plants. Many kinds of trees and shrubs are affected, but it's been especially damaging this year to the apple group of fruiting trees.
