I found the spider veins odd. I know a doctor had said to me, even though my Wifes LFT's were normal her ultrasound normal. She had Cirrhosis due to a spider vein on her cheek... and said she had clubbed toe nails on her left foot.

I said she got the spider vein 20 years ago in child labor. And the clubbed nails your pointing to on her left foot. If you had bothered to check would have seen she had been in a motorcyle accident when she was a teenager, and she wore the tips of her toes off, so her nails when not clipped may appear clubbed on those two toes.

That said after 20 years the spider vein on her cheek never went away. She liked it as a memento to giving birth to our daughter. Our Doctor said, it could be lasered out. But she never did it.

The point always get multiple opinions.
