His symptoms mimic a peripheral nervous system under attack
00:00:04.504 --> 00:00:07.173
But he's experiencing significant paresthesias
00:00:07.298 --> 00:00:08.008
and he can't move his hands or toes
00:00:08.925 --> 00:00:10.076
It's peripheral
00:00:10.885 --> 00:00:13.346
Guillain barré syndrome attacks there not the brain
00:00:13.471 --> 00:00:16.265
No No I already did an indirect coombs' test
00:00:16.391 --> 00:00:18.518
No agglutination no antibodies
00:00:18.643 --> 00:00:20.853
Initiative Like that
00:00:20.978 --> 00:00:22.001
Start him on iv immunos
00:00:22.999 --> 00:00:25.942
No antibodies means he doesn't have guillain barré period
00:00:26.067 --> 00:00:28.277
Period More like dot dot dot
00:00:28.403 --> 00:00:30.947
What if he has the virus but isn't producing those antibodies
00:00:31.999 --> 00:00:32.657
Come on The chances of that are
00:00:32.782 --> 00:00:35.576
Didn't ask about the Vegas line I said what if
00:00:35.702 --> 00:00:38.788
It would mean he's sick and his body's not doing anything about it
00:00:38.913 --> 00:00:42.998
So we either fight it for him or it's fatal
00:00:42.208 --> 00:00:43.071
Fatal sounds very bad to me
00:00:43.835 --> 00:00:46.587
Well without the antibodies we can't even test for it
00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:48.423
Don't know if we're right
00:00:49.298 --> 00:00:52.844
Treatment isn't all that dangerous plasmapheresis and mg
00:00:52.969 --> 00:00:56.556
If it works we're right If he dies
00:00:57.557 --> 00:00:59.998
It was something else
