I missed something here: Why can't she see the subjects one at a time? If she needs to 'prime' her abilities, she can do a non-blinded check on a known one-kidney subject and a known two-kidney subject.

As for verifying the existance of kidneys, I bet the local medical technician training class would love to have a group of volunteers for ultrasound, which is non-invasive and requires no contrast to be injected. (I have to take a friend for annual kidney ultrasounds to check for stones, so I know this is a quick and painless procedure.) This would eliminate (or doublecheck) anyone VfF identified for the "born with one kidney" scenario.

Not that this matters, of course, because VfF is not seriously trying to do any kind of test, just to tie up time and attention as she launches her CAM career...
