my 22 year old has gall stones. wtf? [View All]

[mopinko]

she called me the other day, describing sharp pains in her stomach. she described exactly the sort of pain that her father exhibited when his gall bladder went bad. i told her to go to the er.
she says they insisted that it was a bladder infection, which she apparently also has. but she kept insisting that her mother thought it was gall bladder, and they did an ultrasound to placate her. the doc said no way did she have gallstones, and if she did, she would eat her socks. doc was last seen cutting out little paper socks to eat.
kid does have the genes for it. her dad had his out at 40, and i have stones that are not bothering me yet.
but damn, 22?

(not asking for medical advise. just wondering if this is as off as it seems)
