While watching FIFA, I occasionally switch to news channel (during a break) and was surprised to see some suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome, Aphasia etc. And the only treatment they can offer is rehab.
To me it's pretty ridiculous, wait and see.
My approach, philosophy as a med. doc (Neurologist) is there is a cure for almost any disease, provided there is will, confidence, open mind etc. Rehab is merely palliative. Have weaned thousands off rehab, for many ailments. Time like in all walks of life is critical, sooner the patient approaches greater the chances of total recovery e.g. curing COVID-19 in 24 hrs. In my +3 decades of practice miracles have happened, like recently the paraplegic man has been weaned off walking frame and can walk a few steps on his own in just 1 week of treatment, though the injury occurred 1 yr back.
IMPO, rehab is more of a placebo, like the paraplegic was on for a yr with none improvement.
Such rare conditions can be cured, IF not completely at least partially giving the person far better quality of life!
GOD have mercy on the treating docs and the patients.
eDOC!!
