Student Discovers Life-threatening Condition in Practice Exam

University of Virginia medical student Ryan Jones began what he thought would be a normal day of practicing diagnostics. Typically, an actor portrays a given illness and the student must identify the problem. But this time the act became real. The actor was pretending to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. But when Jones was examining the actor he found a real abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Possible Preaching Angle:

How many of us are sick with sin but think that we are healthy? This is a great way to illustrate the need for regular checkups of our souls so that potentially life threatening "diseases" of the heart can be found on purpose.
