Neuro Note 3: Tourette Does the Talking

I don't know a lot about Tourette's Syndrome, but I have always been intrigued so I chose to watch the TEDx Talk Tourette Does the Talking by Thomas White. I would highly recommend for everyone to watch this video. Thomas is a college student living with Tourette's Syndrome. As he is introducing himself he says, "I stand before you today, hoping to lay bare the inter-workings of a mind that attempts to remain robust, despite an unrelenting neurological assault". Thomas does a wonderful job of showing his robust mind, as well as the neurological assault he is faced with, making a clear distinction between himself and his Tourette's. This is a very raw look at a day in the life of someone with this type of Tourette's Syndrome. White, T. (2014, January 21). Tourette Does the Talking: Thomas White [video file].

GBS

While I was out of class on Monday, May 15th, I still learned a lot about Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I think it is such an interesting disorder. It amazes me that someone can begin with symptoms of weakness and then can become paralyzed, only to potentially recover from the illness. The group I was assigned to for the case study was on a man named Joseph Heller, who was born in 1923. He was a writer and a traveler. He was writing his 4th book and started having trouble swallowing and difficulty raising his arms and legs. He ignored the symptoms until worsened and he went to the doctor where he was diagnosed with GBS.

ABI experiences

I really enjoyed learning about Acquired Brain Injuries during our class today. I personally know many people that have suffered from all different types of ABI's, so I liked learning about it in more detail. When I was young I actually watched someone obtain an ABI, so I have always found them interesting. I was at a tumbling competition and the elite tumblers were competing so everyone was watching because they were so skilled. One guy was on the trampoline and did a double back tuck. He barely under-rotated, but just enough to cause him to land leaning forward, so much that it shot him off the trampoline and onto the concrete. He immediately began seizing, and unfortunately a few days later he passed away. Another experience was during my freshman year of high school. A gym class was playing flag football and two of my friends dove for the ball at the same time, colliding heads. The top of one guy's head crashed into the side of the other's. He also immediately started s...
