Hello guys,
How have you all been?
Its been such a while since I wrote on this thing
But I feel it might be helpful for me to write today
I had my first Clinic in Miami today
He was not my first patient, I've had a couple in Dom
But he was my first patient here...and the one with the saddest case
He a young handsome hispanic male
(I really am not allowed to disclose much...HIPAA)
When my partner and I started interviewing him
He said he was brought in by his step son because he was becoming too forgetful
But he was not clear as to how and when it started
Anyway, it turned out he had HIV encaphalopathy
That means his disease had progressed to a stage where it was now messing with his brain cells
He also had HSV-II ( Herpes Simplex Virus-2)
He was just like any other regular guy
Had a happy healthy family
Had moved to FL at the age of 18 to get a better life, etc
He was very optimistic though
He kept saying he was leaving the hospital soon that he was only waiting for his insurance to pay up so that he could go back home
But the truth people, is that he's never going home again!
He will remain in a nursing home for the rest of his life
Because he now has demensia and retrograde anmnesia
He will not rememeber to take his meds, or use the bathroom by himself, etc
So there you have it people...
Pls, pls, pls....its not worth it
be health smart...HIV no dey show for face!
k, i feel much better
Other stuvs are going on but i'll have to yarn y'all later
BTW, my landlady is a b****!
