Missing

  • aortic dissection
  • bronchiectasis
  • occupational lung disease
  • pneumothorax
  • pulmonary hypertension
  • deep vein thrombosis / pulmonary embolism
  • renal artery stenosis
  • IgA nephropathy
  • vasculitis
  • amyloidosis
  • scleroderma
  • gout
  • osteoarthritis
  • septic arthritis / osetomyelitis
  • osteoporosis
  • diabetic ketoacidosis / hyperosmolar coma

  • dermatology
  • hemochromatosis, porphyria, and metabolic disorders

The list is of course incomplete. As Philo Vance said: Nothing flawless is natural or genuine.

But that's not an excuse to make some shaky product and poison our next generation.

Thanks for not including any GI disease. In fact my beloved gastroesophageal reflux disease is missing too! I don't think a disease that affects 40 million Chinese is too rare to be included.
