Young student with paralyzed side



rs. We have a new patient. She is a student. Her parents live across the street. Her father is a policemen in pension. One of his daughters went to the Nairobi University. At the end of the semester she slumped down, but could raise again by herself. When she went home, she slumped again when she left the bus in Gilgi. For 10 minutes the people could not speak with her. Next morning at breakfast time she again fainted. Finally the mother asked for help and our doctor Wanjara came over. Now she was brought to our hospital and we have to check her. For the moment it is not clear what causes her weakness but her left side was kind of paralyzed. Let's hope our doctors can help her.
