Does anyone ever look up random diseases/conditions that they hear about?

I don't do it often, but sometimes I'll hear something interesting and decide to do a little research on it.....I came across something called "Pfiffer's Synrome" (sp) where infants have a premature hardening of the skull, and evidently this can start prenatally very early.

Some of these things are so disturbing...it was literally the worst defect I have ever seen of an infant in a picture...

...it's a good education..but some things you just pray you'll never actually have to witness.
