I'm officially an intern and I love it. why ? because I'm closer to the beauty of medicine that is the human interactions.
a few days ago we had this 2 year old baby boy who just lost his ability to walk all of a sudden , no warnings no alarms before it just lost it
The team thought of the worst and measures were taken in that direction the notorious Guillian Barre syndrome were you start getting paralyzed from your toes ascending to your legs which is our least important because what scares us for real is the diaphragm paralysis in which you'll suffocate to death . an extreme respect worthy disease.
but when you enter the room and see that cute smiling boy playing with some Ipad games you must take a look at the father when he receives the news and shockingly enough he is fine never lost his temper when ever we tell him that other causes were thinking of were ruled out except that ugly one.
days pass by when a colleague comes in a hurry asking the doctor to come ... we all go to see that little boy walking to take his toy from his happy father ... it was priceless
we ruled out Guillian Barre and started to think of a mild simple case of low pottasium causing his muscle weakness .. we discharged that boy screaming some moammar algadaffi nonsense :)
