    That’s too many to count. It’s like counting your own hair. Plus, your friend’s hair. Ok, that’s a joke. The rare diseases? Only superspecialist will keep that in mind. Not even a specialist can tell you this, let alone bystanders.

    You’d never be able to name them all as the medical field makes up new diseases all the time. Of course, there would always be a drug for the new disease.
