This week is my second week as a medical visiting student.
It's really frustrating that I can barely understand what doctors and patients are talking about, but I think it's getting better.
Today I saw an interesting but strange case.
A 13-year-old boy's motion suddenly become extremely slow on last Saturday.
It looks like there is some problem with his brain that makes him act so slowly.
However, after taking history, we couldn't find out anything special enough could explain his symptoms.
He didn't take any illegal substances, nor any alcohol, cigarette, or drugs.
He didn't have fever so it seems not like infection.
We have spent lots of time on clarifying the reason.
Fortunately, his uncle came and said he went fishing in 3 weeks ago and had some ticks as baits.
It might be because these ticks bite him and he got Lyme disease, which can explain his symptoms.
We have to arrange more examinations to check it.
