New York doctor Erich Voigt was watching a reality TV show in early May when he noticed something alarming about a woman on the screen.
Nicole McGuinness, a contestant on ‘Beachfront Bargain Hunt’, had a small lump on the left side of her throat.
Speaking to the New York Post on Tuesday, Dr Voigt said once he spotted the lump, he immediately went “from being relaxed to [thinking], gosh, she may have a medical problem.”
As an otolaryngologist, Dr Voigt had examined many patients with strikingly similar symptoms. As he watched Nicole, it was the lump’s “way of moving under the skin” which alarmed him.
