Sophia Post #3

This week at children’s hospital, I have seen patients in the MDA clinic which means the only people that are seen have muscular dystrophy. The doctors talked to a lot of them about the upcoming camp, which is like camp friendship or camp rainbow for those of you who did service hours that way. All of the kids seemed so excited to be able to go to camp and many have been going since they were babies. We had one interesting case where a girl got some testing done and she is actually a carrier of muscular dystrophy but she doesn’t express the disease. So Dr. Tilton, another doctor I shadow, had to tell the girl that if she were to have a boy (since it’s on the X chromosome) he would have the disease. I also saw more Botox injections and I had to hear more kids cry, but it was still just as interesting.
