CBS Sunday Morning Season 28 Episode 36 Misdiagnosis

MISDIAGNOSIS
Everyone knows that doctors can mess up – operate on the wrong side of the body, remove the wrong limb, prescribe the wrong medication. But few people expect not to learn what is really wrong with them – to have a misdiagnosis from the very beginning. It's not something patients know about… and not something doctors often discuss even amongst themselves. How many misdiagnoses are there? And how many cause patients to die? It's unclear since physicians and patients often don't know themselves – and there is no national database. All that we do know is that patients die every day from misdiagnosis.

ALMANAC
May 7, 1915, 91 years ago today: a frightening day in the history of modern war. Early that afternoon, off the southern coast of Ireland, the German submarine U-20 fired a torpedo at the Lusitania, a British luxury liner with about two thousand passengers and crew on board.

TEAPOTS
While trying to fill bar shelves in their Los Angeles home, glass and ceramic collectors Sonny and Gloria Kamm discovered teapots. And 10,000 or so teapots later, they haven't looked back. So, just what is it about the teapot that is so alluring to the Kamms and the thousands of museum-goers that have come to see their traveling teapot exhibit? Martha Teichner takes a look at the history, appeal and artistry of the teapot.

ONE TRACK MIND
Folkston, Georgia, has always been known as the gateway to the Okefenokee Swamp. But these days, more and more people are visiting Folkston to watch trains go by. Folkston is a train watching paradise with as many as 70 trains passing through on their way to or from Florida each day. Some rail watchers live right in Folkston, some visit from other countries and so many people watch trains there that the town built a special platform and installed floodlights for night viewing, making it possible to rail watch in all kinds of weather, day or night. This Sunday Morning, Bill Geist joins the aficionados in this train watching Mecca and watches train after train after train go by.
