This disease can present with a dysplastic occurrence of stem cells in the cornea, as seen in the math professor Apple, who perceived the world as being ugly. The faith healer Boyd seemingly improved this condition in Grace Palmieri (15[1])by laying on hands, though he actually gave her a herpes virus. (15[1])While undergoing an angiogram, a girl with this disease named Andie asked the doctor to kiss her, since she had never kissed a boy before. One man faked his death in a burning building to spend more time with a friend who had this disease, (15[1])and later told that friend during a (*) motorcycle trip that “[this disease] is boring”. This disease often presents with paraneoplastic syndromes, which are commonly diagnosed by people like Foreman. For 10 points, name this general type of disease studied by James Wilson (10[1])at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, where he is head of the oncology department. ■END■
