Type in your name (or make up a name) and select a physician from the year 1900, 1950, or 1998. Then choose a set of symptoms, for example, in complaint number three you feel weak, nauseated, and itchy. The 1900 doc runs a test and says it's probably kidney failure. You can try leeches and snakeroot but it's only a matter of time. Take your symptoms to get a second opinion from the 1950s physician and you will learn all about kidney dialysis and perhaps make a full recovery. Wait around for the 1998 medical advice, which includes not only dialysis but also a kidney transplant if needed. Try all the diseases and see how far medical science has advanced in the last 100 years. Aren't you glad you live in this time period? Have you tried to get a prescription for leeches filled lately?
