It recently occurred to me that I missed out on understanding this phenomena called chimerism.

I recall seeing a few specials back in August 2006 about Lydia Fairchild on ABC networks.

I didn't quite understand the big "theme" here, to explain how the kids share no genetic identity with their biological mother.

I have followed up recently on the story, reviewed the story, and it is still not making sense to me.

Does anyone have a website to share, which might show the pedigree for this phenomena?

Or, would anyone be willing to explain to me how Lydia Fairchild's haploid genome was swapped with someone else's genome?

The concept of "you are your own twin" would be made clear after testing both parents of Lydia, right? Or did I miss in the story that one parent (or both) were not available for genetic testing.

Thanks for your help!

Here is a link, in case you forgot the details regarding this story.

For my entire life, I've wanted to be a physician. However, I'm facing several problems. For my undergraduate degree, I was thinking of persuing Culinary Art, as cooking is my second passion, but I am facing opposition from my parents. Now, I have spoken to several physicians that have undergrad degrees in nonscience disciplines, and they highly recommend it. I've also read that the medical school admissions like to see these types of degrees, because they prefer to maintain a diverse population of students. I will, of course, take the additional required classes for medical school. I'm a strong student, especially in the sciences, so I'm not worried about struggling in med school. I was hoping that I could get some advice from any physicians or medical students. Any input (from anyone) regarding my situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

The directions on this bottle say to take "two capsules three times daily" which is 9 capsules in all. Can I take, say, 4 capsules in the morning and two @ later in the day, will it be effective this way, or do I HAVE to take it like it says, three times a day? B/c I'm getting tired of having to go back to the medicine cabinet 3xs a day.

I went to the doctor and ask the nurse for a list of my prescriptions (over 20) she would have had no problem giving this to me-one little click would have done it. I saw the doctor and would have been better off staying at home since he yelled at me and even threatened to put me in the hospital whether i wanted to go or not. He knows that i can not take colesterol medication and was yelling at me over that. Have all family doctors quit helping their patients and only become legal drug pushers? He Kept me waiting much longer then the time that i had my appointment. Then yelled at me because of the list i needed. Mentioned cat hairs that i was suoposed to have on my back and ask why i was on disability. I think that medicaid had something to do with the way he acted. Up until today i thought that he was a nice doctor. Are all family doctors just plain rude? I did not even get to ask about a flue shot or whether or not he thought i should take one yet since i have been sick.
