Big Mac Attack

There's a McDonalds in the basement of the hospital. Yeah, we know.

So the story goes, there was a kid once who had an incredibly rare (yet often seen at this hospital) metabolic disorder called methylmalonic acidemia. Kids with this disorder can't break down Lysine, Leucine and Valene, three amino acids that are found in lots of foods and we might even find delicious. They spend their whole lives fed by a carefully made formula through a direct gastric tube, because any time they're exposed to these amino acids, toxic byproducts build up in their system and they get sick. One day, a kid with methylmalonic acidemia happened to be hospitalized for some other reason, couldn't bear the temptation, and snuck down to the basement and bought a big mac. He was found in a coma on the floor. Take that, Morgan Spurlock.
