For what it's worth... Anecdotal (N=1): I had a friend in grad school who had this condition. Soon after she was born, it was discovered that she had an ailment that required the surgeons to go into her chest cavity on the side opposite her heart. When they got in on her right side, they discovered her heart was there. So... back out they went, and re-entered on her left. Now she has matching scars and knowledge of where to find her heart. > 2) Are there any health concerns associated with the condition, or is > it entirely benign? Beats me. My friend didn't note any health concerns. To my knowledge her ailment wasn't related to her condition. -- Sue Frantz Highline Community College Psychology Des Moines, WA 206.878.3710 x3404 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://flightline.highline.edu/sfrantz/ --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
