Gritz Vaca Viviana

Viviana Vaca Ortiz

24/y old f. changed voice. 6 aƱos. uno en cincuenta mil. Lo peor era las ultimas 5 meses. Can´t straighten her finger (meaning hold it still long enough) to touch the finger of the doctor. ¨Yaaaaaah¨. Approach the desk to take some datos for her clinica historia. ´´Ya senorita puedes volver a tu asiento¨ Podemos quedar aqui? As she plants herself against the wall and against the wooden framed painting behind her. It´s just that I´m dizzy. I have fear of the stairs. I don´t want to subir them.

Result: genetics (dominant gene). ¨Atrophia Cerebral.¨ Cerebral Atrophy con SCA. No treatment. What do neurologists do? ¨Yaaaaaah.¨Name things for which there is usually no cure. Doug did some research. MRI´s are expensive. And why gastar when no hay nada que hacer? We gave her some Ambien. 30 days trial. Now she´s gonna sleep all the time?

Bekka wanted to take her out for juice. I thought about thinking about crying. And then there´s reality, which star medical student Mayoka delivered to her as she sat in a chair al ladito de the waiting room.

Spanish. Medicine. People skills. A entonces mi camiseta dice Verano Experienca de 2004? ¨Yes, Summer Experience 2004. it´s from a summer camp in the United States. From the Edmonds Park and Recreation. A summer camp is where kids go to pasear y disfrutar su tiempo libre cuando no haya escuela.¨ Competence. $. Dollares American. Relationships. Follow-through. One in 50 thoussand. the generic name for Ambien is Zolpidem.
