Siam: Kenneth on His Appendicitis and Bill's, Taking Medication

Appendicitis.

Kenneth tells of his appendicitis that he discovered while on a tour. He tested himself and came to a conclusion on his own diagnosis before rushing back to Bangkok for medical attention. He was operated on there and the appendicitis was removed. Years later, in Illinois, Bill had the same problem. Kenneth diagnosed him and concluded that he had appendicitis as well, but the doctor doubted him. Bill was taken to a surgeon who concluded that Bill had appendicitis and he did the operation. Bill never liked taking medicine, so Kenneth had to force him most of the time.
