The Washington Post's Sandra G. Boodman is looking for challenging medical cases -- ones that have been resolved but in which the patient's symptoms were puzzling to doctors or suggested an immediate diagnosis that would have been wrong. Patients must have medical records documenting their care, and must be willing to share them with a reporter.
