Setting: A large city in the northeastern United States, modern day
Searched: "scurvy," "scurvy symptoms," "scurvy treatment," "scurvy effects," and so forth.  Multiple articles on Wikipedia and a few online medical encyclopedias.

A young man in his late teens becomes so involved in a project that he neglects his diet over an extended period of time, and contracts scurvy.  His symptoms eventually become bad enough that he goes to a doctor, receives a diagnosis, and recovers by resuming consumption of Vitamin C.  My questions:
1. How long from the initial presentation of symptoms will they become severe enough to convince a person who makes a habit of neglecting his health that he needs to see a doctor?
2. Will symptoms completely vanish after he begins taking Vitamin C, or will there be some lingering effects?

Edit: I know that even fast food has enough Vitamin C to prevent scurvy.  I am still researching exactly what he will be eating (my top candidate at the moment is Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts, which I have confirmed have no Vitamin C), but I will make sure that it is something that would actually lead to scurvy.  He essentially locks himself into his room with a stockpile of insert-non-perishable-food-substance-here for weeks at a time.

I have a character in a modern setting who is trained as a nurse, but has been hired to fill the medical-officer's position on a small special-ops team. It would be helpful to know what, specifically, would be different in her training and medical knowledge-base vis-a-vis what one would expect of someone who had trained to qualify as a doctor.

She is by and large not actually working with living patients in this position (it's a Torchwood fic, the medical officer's main duty is dissecting dead aliens so it's not like they're gonna sue if she's learning on the job), but there will be moments when she's also called on to serve as a field medic, and I'm not quite sure where her "right, off to hospital with you" breakpoint is going to be in relation to the injuries/conditions her predecessor was capable of treating on-site. She does have the advantage that said predecessor hasn't, um, actually left, as such, and would be available to advise and talk her through procedures she may not have the exact skills for, if they're close enough to the range of what she may be trained for/capable of -- setting bones? Minor sutures? What does she know, and what does she know that she doesn't know and needs to outsource? It's the gap between the two specializations that I see as a potential source of plot-points, and I'm not quite sure how to even begin Googling that...

What would cause pain/discomfort in a kidney, that wouldn't show up on a kidney function blood test?

I need it to be something that wouldn't be discovered right away. So far, I'm thinking of a benign tumor. Would a benign tumor impact the results of a kidney function blood test?

Search terms: kidney disease, kidney ailments, kidney function blood test, kidney ailment not showing up on blood test, kidney damage, hidden kidney damage, underlying kidney damage, underlying kidney disease, benign tumor in kidney, benign tumor kidney test results, blood test results benign tumor, kidney blood test results benign tumor.

While searching with these terms gave me lots of information, I could not figure out the answer to my obscure question.

Of the good, both shows were vastly improved this week, and I am doth pleased. Of the bad, ( spoiler. )

EDIT: ( One specific thing I'd like to point out about White Collar. )

Secondly, thatsaud and I went to see David Cook and the Dudes Who Will Never Be Called The Anthemic, You Can't Make Me at the Firelake Grand Casino in Shawnee last night, which was kinda (by which I mean a lot) of fucking awesome. Second row! Neal side! Low stage so that we could see fucking everything! Not standing in front of the speaker and getting blasted with hot air! Amusing David (whatever, I would have turned barrel rolls if I could have pulled it off)! Kyle getting tangled up in his drum kit and requiring assistance when they were supposed to be leaving before the encore! Surprise Elvis! The lead singer of The Script is like a younger, boppier Misha Collins! All of these exclamation points are necessary!

Pictures forthcoming, but here's the most important thing of all: save for one close call when Mapquest turned out to be a lying liar who lies, we didn't get lost!
