Hi Twinks:

In the episode of HOUSE, when she was standing and she fainted, and he put his hand on the right side of her body and he said "watch this", and he lifted it, (no one knew what he was doing), and he explained that when we are born, we are born with kidneys that are attached to our bodies in a certain way.

Well (in the episode), this young woman had had this kidney hanging by a blood vessel (it was hanging, it wasn't SET in her body like everybody else's kidney), and what caused her to faint, was that she was just married and they were carrying her up in a chair around the room, and she was bouncing around, and the kidney was dislodged or something, and she immediately fainted.

They brought her in to the hospital (lying down on a gurney of course), and everybody was trying to figure out why she fainted.

She didn't faint sitting in a chair, she didn't faint lying down.

Only when she stood. Then the doctor explained that when she stood, the floating kidney, cut off a blood supply (doctor speak, I don't understand that part of what he said), but it had SOMETHING TO DO WITH A DROP IN HER BLOOD PRESSURE, so she fainted. As soon as she sat down or laid down, her kidney went back into place, and she revived, the pulse went back and her pressure was back to normal. Most amazing diagnosis I have ever heard.

He then said 'prep her for surgery", and said 'the doctor will put your kidney back where it's supposed to be, and you'll be fine".

So she should DEFINITELY at least ask her doctor to look into this.

You never know.!!!
