The medicine does not stand still and to date the methods of treatment have reached a high level, thanks to which a huge number of people all over the world successfully dispose of various diseases, including the most complex.
But, despite the scientific progress, even today physicians have to face incredible cases that can not be explained.
For example, in England there is a woman who hears the sounds of her body, such as the movement of the eyes or blood through the veins. Julie Redfern first heard a weak squeak while playing tetris. At first she could not determine the source of the sound, but later found out that it appears during the movement of her eyes. A couple of years later, she heard the sound of blood flow through her veins.
The sounds during chewing food for her were so loud that they blocked all other sounds, including conversations. The disease progressed, and as a result, even the sound of an ordinary phone turned for Julia into anguish. Doctors diagnosed a very rare disorder in which the bones of the inner ear lose density, resulting in an extremely susceptible hearing. Doctors did Julie the world's first operation to restore hearing on one ear, which was successful.
Another interesting case in medicine is a boy who does not feel hungry. In 2013, Landon Jones began to suffer a persistent cough, one morning he woke up completely tired and without appetite. Doctors detected an infection in the lung of a child, which was difficult, but managed to win. However, after recovering to Landon, hunger and thirst did not return, as a result, the boy began to lose weight quickly. After the parents realized what was wrong, Landon managed to lose 16 kg.
Experts can not determine what exactly triggered the disorder. The boy's parents showed him to various professors from different countries, but no one could establish what exactly blocked the feeling of hunger. Physicians believe that Landon, perhaps the only one on the planet who suffers from such a disorder.
Now the boy is constantly monitored, so that he regularly takes food and water. Even the teachers at the boy's school check whether he forgot to have lunch.
In Florida, after a routine flu shot, the life of the nine-year-old Maryna Grivna has completely changed. The girl was unable to get up in the morning from bed three days after the vaccine. Doctors diagnosed - disseminated encephalomyelitis. With this disease, its own immunity begins to destroy the membrane covering the nerves of the brain and spinal cord. As a result, white matter becomes extremely sensitive, and the disease can lead to paralysis and blindness.
Doctors are not sure if the flu vaccine is to blame for the development of the disease. Doctors conducted the girl extensive examination, but the exact cause of the disease could not be established, although the girl's parents are sure that the whole thing in the vaccine, made the day before.
Now doctors do not give the girl's predictions, although they note that there is a small chance that symptoms can be reversed.
In Yemen, his father was surprised when his daughter cried, and tiny stones fell from her eyes. Saadia is not the only child, there are 11 children in the family, but she has only one unique ability. Doctors can not diagnose the disease and do not reveal any pathologies or abnormalities in the development of the eyes.
According to the father, Saadia also cries with normal tears, stones usually appear later in the evening or at night, while the girl does not experience any unpleasant sensations or pain.
In New York in one of the schools, 12 girls had the same strange symptoms, the reason for which the doctors could not establish.
All the girls studied at the same school and almost at the same time they had vocal tics, and their hands and legs refused to obey them.
Initially, doctors decided that girls suffer from Tourette's syndrome (tics of muscles, face, neck and shoulders). A neurologist examining girls, suggested mass hysteria, other experts believed that the matter was strained.
However, two mothers did not accept such a conclusion, but they were never given an official conclusion of the investigation, in which, according to the health officials, nothing was found that could provoke such symptoms in children.
