The Strange Thing And Dissociation Seizure

Decent Essays
The strange thing has 2 components: Dissociation and Dissociation seizure. Last Wednesday, Dr. Gwee and I discussed my idea at length and we tried to understand my motivation behind the idea.

I think I would like to understand the mechanism for the following reasons:

1. To use the dissociation and the dissociation seizure to my advantage,

2. To revenge. I was sent from hospital to hospital for years, and doctors gave me all kinds of unnecessary and harmful treatments. Some of them believed that I faked the symptoms, while the others thought that I was a hopeless case,

3. To satisfy my intelligence curiosity. Possibly, it is because I don’t have access to the medical materials, but I feel that the medical professional does not

    1) Does age of a patient play a role in how much of his or her brain causes seizures and what parts of their brain cause seizures? I remember learning that Dr. Ben Carson did a hemispherectomy (one of the hemispheres of the brain or half of the brain is removed) in a little girl (age 4-5) who had seizures and that the girl had no brain impairment later in life. 2) Can a patient who has an MRI scan done on them experience negative side effects due to the MRI equipment or procedure? I know that exposure to too much X-ray radiation can be detrimental to one's health. Since MRI scans produce better images of the brain than CT scans, which use X-ray particles, I was wondering there are patient related reasons when doctors may opt to order a CT…

    Dr. Jekyll overall prognosis is classified as a dissociative disorder, commonly characterized by the disruption in the normal integration of consciousness, identity, perception, motor control, emotion, and behavior (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p.291). Symptoms accompanying dissociative disorder can potentially disrupt all areas of psychological functioning. Usually, the cause of these disorders is found in the byproduct of trauma. For most, the active and receptive modes of the consciousness structure our experiences together so well that we do not notice any division between them.

    Patients could choose whether they wanted to see a physician and decide which physician they wanted, or they could have opted not to seek immediate medical attention. Most patients preferred the latter because of time and money. In fact, Joan Lane opens his book, The Making of the English Patient with “…because medical attention, especially from a physician, was costly, it seems many suffers put off seeking medical advice in the early stages of illnesses, often being treated only when incurable” (43). Sufferers instead, tried to make their own remedies at home and classified their illnesses in terms of how long they could delay a physician’s visit: if they were feeling relatively okay, they would just ignore the symptoms until it became apparent that they were starting to feel worse. Nevertheless, when patients did seek medical help, they “…show[ed] a high level of confidence in their treatments” (Lane 43).…
