DMD

A lovely little kid jumped into the paedi room. Supervisor told us to think about which kind of disease he has.

The child is 4 years old, not able to jump. The calf is full of fatty tissue. He got up by straightening his legs and pushed on the ground. What a typical Gower's sign.

I refused to believe that he has DMD, hoping it was something else.

My heart was broken when we read the diagnosis.

Poor kid. He followed commands very well, very active, everything was still perfect. His parents must be 100 times heart broken than I do.

Hate to experience something that we are completely out of control. Maintenance is the only thing we could do. 8-10 years later, then we have to accept that he's deteriorating.

Oh, that CTS patient, I saw her again today. We finally found out that she doesn't have CTS. And she took the advice from her doctor friend, that she's not going to have the surgery.

I didn't do it.
