When my stomach troubles began, the doctor at RIMS said even experts need biopsy and culture to tell Crohn's from TB. Trying TB drugs blindly is dangerous — if it's Crohn's, the medicine does nothing and your real sickness grows worse. I know because my cousin took medicines for a wrong guess, and it wasted months while he got thinner. Now when I tune my tabla, I think how a wrong diagnosis is like forcing a 'reverb' where there's only silence — it just masks the true note you need to hear.
