Doctor spots MP's tumour on television


An accurate diagnosis normally requires the doctor examining the patient and maybe tissue samples. An Irish doctor, however, has done it while watching television by spotting that a government minister had a tumour in his cheek.
The unnamed surgeon from University Hospital, Galway, was at home with his doctor wife before Christmas. They were following a current affairs programme on RTÉ in which Conor Lenihan, the overseas aid minister, was being interviewed.
