Mom posts picture of her nails on Facebook – gets immediate message telling her to seek medical help

One of the best parts about social media is how connected it allows all of us to be.

We are able to check in on family, as well as share our recommendations, warnings and opinions.

Social media turned out to be an incredible asset in the case of 53-year-old Jean Williams Taylor, who shared a photo of her nails to Facebook to show everyone how curved they were. Jean figured this was a consequence of bad genes, but it soon became clear that this was her body’s way of warning her that something was wrong.

After posting the photo, she received a brief message on Facebook from a medical professional – who was advising her to seek a physician in person – but she believed it to be a little bit excessive. Despite this, she decided to go get it checked out, and the doctors knew right away that something was wrong. Her condition was termed ‘digital clubbing’ or ‘Hippocratic nails’, and they can sometimes signify issues of the lungs or heart.

After a number of tests, doctors found that Jean had two tumors the size of golf balls in her lungs.

As a reesult of her diagnosis – brought about by a happenstance intervention – Jean shared a warning to Facebook for others to take a look at.

“That feels great,” Jean said. “I have actually got a lot of individuals sending me shares of their nails, however I’m no specialist I have actually just been detected less than 2 days.”

This is an incredible story about the power of connectivity.
