I found this on a medical journal cover the other day.. I didn't have my cell phone handy to snap a pic, though. You should be glad I didn't; medical journal covers are nasty. And myxedema is especially nasty.
MYXEDEMA a disease caused by decreased activity of the thyroid gland.
Hey, how about some

I grew up with 2 parents who were doctors. My father's dermatology magazines with full-color cover photographs of especially bad cases of this-or-that skin disorder were the WORST. I think my brother and I are forever scarred just from having viewed too many covers of "Cutis" magazine -- just sitting there on the coffee table or kitchen table where we'd eat breakfast!! *shudder*
