Syndrome without a name: The boy who baffles doctors

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-48051026

This is an astonishing, and somewhat agonising news story, sure to pique your interest.

When five-year-old Charlie Parkes was in the womb, a scan revealed a problem with his brain. He spent his first two years of life in hospital having tests. His parents were desperate for answers - but they never came.

Let me know what you think.

  1. This is very interesting. It must be so hard having swan as the medics and the family don't know what they are dealing with or indeed what lies ahead. I found it intriguing that Charlie takes 8 syringes of medication a day, has multiple "meltdowns" yet attends mainstream school. He is fantastic .
