What's wrong with this baby?


Medical quiz...





What's wrong with this baby?  If you took her to a doctor here and asked to just have her 'checked out' chances are she would be diagnosed with 'hip dysplasia' and have X-rays taken of her midsection (irradiating her reproductive organs along the way) on which the doctor would draw lots of lines and measure angles and then tell you that she has malformed hips and needs to be put into an expensive harness for several months.  At the end of this time, the thankful parents would have a happy, healthy, baby.  But they already have a happy healthy baby and the whole thing is unnecessary, costly, and distressing to the parents.  It seems that almost weekly, Amy and I are brought a baby diagnosed with 'hip dysplasia,' yet we've yet to find one case that truly has it.
