Chapter 813 Tourette Syndrome(2/2)
There were tears in the eyes of the child Zhong Minghao:
"I'm not a bad boy, I just can't control myself, and I don't know why I always curse and hit people unconsciously. I really didn't mean it."
Chen Qi nodded lightly: "Uncle, I believe you didn't mean it, but you..."
Before Chen Qi finished speaking, Xiao Minghao got sick again and yelled: "Idiot! Idiot!"
Then he turned over, exposed his butt to everyone, and slapped it a few times, deliberately saying that you are all big stinkers.
Chen Qi stood up, watched Xiao Minghao's "performance", and then turned back to the many doctors and reminded:
"Everyone has just seen that when the child is conscious, he behaves well-behaved and even expresses regret and embarrassment for his actions. Although he knows it is wrong, he cannot control his words and actions.
Do you think this is a disease?"
Everyone saw the friendly conversation between Director Chen and the child just now, as well as the child's cursing when he got sick.
At this time, a doctor said softly:
"This is not like a petit mal seizure. Epileptic seizures can also include twitching and abnormal behavior, but they are not aggressive or full of swear words."
Another doctor also wondered:
"The child has no history of head trauma or encephalitis. It seems difficult to diagnose from the perspective of neurological diseases, and the child's performance has far exceeded the clinical manifestations of tics."
Another doctor said firmly:
"I think it's still a mental illness, otherwise it can't be explained that just a moment ago he was talking softly, and then he turned to swear words. This kind of switch doesn't look like an organic disease at all."
Chen Qi looked at Director Xia Hua:
"Director Xia, what do you think is the cause?"
Director Xia chuckled and shook his head:
"This is really confusing to me. I have also tried diagnostic drugs, but all failed. Dean Chen, I think you seem to be quite confident. Why don't you tell us?"
Everyone's eyes were turned to Chen Qi, the miracle doctor's diagnosis was always unexpected.
Chen Qi didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "There are indeed two diagnoses."
"One possibility I think is more consistent with Tourette's syndrome, and the other possibility is Huntington's disease, which cannot be ruled out."
As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, all that appeared in the minds of both the doctor and the patient's family were question marks.
Director Xia Hua knew that the dean was well-informed and his knowledge reserve was among the top in the world, so he smiled and said:
"Come on, while all the parents are here today, and there are so many doctors, big and small, Director Chen, please tell us what Tourette's syndrome and Huntington's disease are."
Chen Qi was in a good mood, so he stood there and started telling stories.
"I once watched a movie abroad. The name of the movie was "Call Me Number One."
(Actually, this is a 2001 movie, which did not exist in this era, but no one investigated such trivial matters, and Chen Qi also fooled around.)
"The male protagonist of the movie is named Brad, who is also a primary school student and has suffered from a special congenital disease since he was a child.
This is a severe spastic disease that causes him to twist his neck uncontrollably and make strange noises. Even in class, he often screams suddenly or knocks over his desk, seriously affecting other students.
And this kind of weird behavior made him not understood by the people around him since he was a child.
In school, teachers often criticized him, and his classmates even ridiculed him. Even his father, after educating his son over and over again, was extremely disappointed in him when he saw that his son had not corrected himself.
Because Brad could not restrain himself from making strange noises, he was considered by the school to be an undisciplined bad boy. Not only did the teachers not forgive him, but his classmates also made fun of him for his behavior.
So Brad spent his elementary and middle school years being misunderstood and lonely.
But his grades have always been very good, and his intelligence is obviously not affected.
After graduating from college, Brad went to various schools to interview for teaching positions with the idea that every student deserves to be taught and wanted to be a teacher.
But every time he was interviewed, school officials were always suspicious of him because of his weird symptoms, and clearly told Brad that if he wanted to be a teacher, he couldn't make weird noises or do weird actions during class.
Only then would he be hired.
But Brad has a disease, and he can't control his behavior at all, so he has no way to get a job.
These various reasons made him feel frustrated, but fortunately his mother always supported him and encouraged him, allowing him to face life bravely and overcome difficulties. In the process, Brad also gained love.
Finally, after interviews with about 25 schools, an elementary school was willing to hire him as a second-grade teacher with a one-year contract.
And Brad also used his various efforts to prove that he is very suitable to be a teacher, and his relationship with students is very harmonious. In the end, he was even selected as the outstanding new teacher of that year.
Brad has had a difficult life, constantly battling illness.
His mother always cheered him up and encouraged him not to compromise with the disease. After suffering, he still maintained an optimistic attitude and bravely faced the cruel reality. He overcame many difficulties and obstacles and defeated the disease tenaciously.
To be precise, this is an inspirational movie, but it was this movie that gave me a great inspiration."
Zhong Hengyuan said excitedly:
"Isn't this Brad my son? The protagonist in this movie is exactly the same as my son. Dean Chen, tell me, what disease did the child in the movie get? How was he cured in the end?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Dean Chen.
Good guy, it turns out that being a doctor requires not only reading a lot of books, but also watching a lot of movies. Can you solve a case and diagnose a difficult and complicated disease by watching movies?
Chen Qi smiled and said, "In the movie I'm talking about, the protagonist suffers from Tourette's Syndrome."
"Tourette's syndrome?" Apparently even a director-level doctor like Xia Hua has never heard of it, let alone the patient's family.
"Tourette's Syndrome, also known as Tourette's Syndrome, is named after French neuroscientist Jean-Martin Charcot, who named Tourette the intern who first discovered Tourette's syndrome.
The disease became known to the world after he published a description of nine patients suffering from "convulsive tic disorder."
Chen Qishou nodded at the intern who was listening on the outside and said with a smile:
"Did you hear that? The Tourette syndrome I'm talking about was discovered by interns. It means that interns can also think independently and publish medical papers independently. But like you, you hide in the back and never see the patients.
Is it possible to discover any unique patients?”
When several intern doctors heard this, their faces turned red.
But not all interns are Buddhists. Those who wanted to make progress took the opportunity to squeeze forward, including the girl with the ponytail who asked the question before.
Chen Qi smiled and continued to explain to everyone:
"Tourette Syndrome, a name that nicely sums up the most severe manifestations of the disease, the uncontrollable tics and Tourette syndrome. Sudden, brief, intermittent movements or sounds are the hallmark signs of Tourette Syndrome
.
Tics are divided into simple tics, which involve a limited number of muscle groups, and complex tics, which involve several muscle groups. There are many symptoms of simple and complex tics found in patients with Tourette syndrome.
Simple tics include blinking, shaking the head, shrugging, eye darting, nose twitching, mouth movements, grunting, coughing, and throat clearing.
Complex tics include repeating observed movements, touching or smelling objects, walking in certain patterns, making obscene gestures, bending or turning the body, jumping aimlessly, repeating words or phrases spoken by oneself or others, and saying vulgar and obscene slurs.
Or curse words.
With the benefit of hindsight, let’s take a look at this kid’s name, Zhong Minghao, right? Parents, you know your sons best. Think about it, do the points I just mentioned apply to your son?”
Zhong Hengyuan and Du Wenjuan nodded excitedly:
"Yes, yes, yes, Dean Chen, you are like a god. You described my son's condition so accurately and so severely. Are there any risks or dangers to this disease?"
When Chen Qi heard his parents' affirmation, he felt a little proud. He used the knowledge from the previous life to act as a miracle doctor in this life. It was so damn satisfying.
However, in order to maintain his superior demeanor, Chen Qi still pretended to smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Normal people may find it strange that they can't control their movements and speech? In fact, they really can't. Many patients say that it feels like sneezing to them.
Can't help it.
Before the onset of tics, the patient will have an uncomfortable physical sensation, also called aura impulse, such as itching, tingling or tension. This feeling can only be relieved after the onset of tics.
Exacerbated by illness, stress, anxiety, fatigue, or excitement, Tourette syndrome often causes behavioral and social challenges that can damage the person's image.
In addition, this disease often appears in children and adolescents, so it may also cause other diseases. For example, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, which are often confused with tics, as well as learning disabilities, sleep disorders, depression, etc.
At this point, we can really describe it as a mental illness, and this process is irreversible, which is one of the biggest dangers.
Another danger is that many people have not heard of this disease, so they naturally do not think of their children's tic symptoms as diseases. Most people think that their children have developed bad habits.
Some parents are more patient and will take the trouble to correct their children's behavior or seek psychological treatment. However, some parents may directly use violent correction.
So I was thinking before that kid Zhong Minghao is lucky because as parents you understand him very well and don't put any more pressure on him.
If you, as parents, don't understand and beat your child when the teacher comes to complain, or you are very strict and require your child to be obedient, otherwise you will punish him in any way, then today's child Zhong Minghao's condition will only get worse.
"
When Zhong Hengyuan and Du Wenjuan heard this, they felt relieved and were glad that they had not done anything drastic to hurt their son before.
