I usually say "Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida are related conditions, one concerns the back, and the other the brain...which sounds worse to you then?"...that usually shuts em up, but yes, I've just come back from india where they confuse Hydrocephalus with Cerebral Malaria all the time, with very deadly consequences, it truely CAN be a horrific condition, but paradoxically, thanks and because of people like Holt, Dahl and the medical world it becomes easier to dismiss.

it's irritating....ho-hum, nevermind
