Case Study

Her name was Tesla Yenthe, a 17 year old girl about to turn 18 without a job. She attends the best school In China, the American International School of Guangzhou. She takes the train there to and from everyday, without any problems. Her grades are average and the school only serves people considered “high class”.  Her family life isn’t necessarily the best though, she is an only child that only lives with her mother. And her father, she never met him, she isn’t very happy about a life without a father.

Tesla's father was killed in the second Sino Japanese war of its last year of continuation In 1945. Jisgita Yenthe dies at the age of 39, cause of death is unknown and his body was never found. Jisgita was reported to have died the day after Tesla was born.  While only living with her mother, she can visit her grandfather every other month or so, he cares for her quite a bit. He lives about an hour and a half away from Bazhou. The prefectures of the area of Bazhou in the country’s western Xinjiang province Is a far cry from poor.

            Whenever Tesla comes home from school with a bag full of books, she then passes through the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and redirects the attention of Monks every other day or so. These monks have many diseases and possible viruses under their belts which could be very dangerous if made contact. Tesla happened to just be one of the lucky ones whom were asked to take part in religious practices of Taoism every so often. They took part on dirt floors, crawling with all sorts of things, Tesla accepted the Mystic’s pleads to praying a many times. A very unpleasant feeling then envelopes her whenever she does this. But to be young and very naive, she wants to try all kinds of things.

            Tesla has also ran into a very notorious gang, known as the Snake head, she has done a many things with the gang against her will whenever they passed through Xinjiang province to create havoc. Her parents and no one else is aware of what happened to her a many times with Snake head gang. She is very fond of exotic animals and plants of many sorts. The Camel Spider and the Krait (Very poisonous Snake) are a few animals she has been studying for years. Some of the exotic flowers that she is quite fond of are the national treasure in china, the queen of flowers, commonly known as the mouton. Having close friends of the snake head gang increase her interest in LSD and Mescaline. The drug use caused Delirium and sleep loss, it was unsafe usage, for the drugs were tainted with many different kinds of bleaches and other cleaning materials.


            Now, Tesla is about to be twenty years of age, with too many problems to count. Having left her mother in Xinjiang to continue down a path straight to Hades, to as what her grandfather declared. She has received help from a fairly poor hospital, they told her that she has received Polio from sexual activity between people from other countries. As the gang she is heavily under the influence with half the time consists of convicts from Great Britain and lower province Japan. The nurses gave her several vaccinations, not knowing what to do about her disease, they let her go upon the streets.


           However the nurses were horribly wrong about her prostitution with illegal immigrants and people of different regions weren't her only troubles. If only the nurses were wise and only if they knew to hold her for more tests. If only, they knew about the spider and snake bites, she'd get them every so often and shake them off like they were nothing. That in particular pain in her neck, torso, shoulders, she slowly began to become paralyzed. For years shes been suffering, taking hallucination-es drugs and having violently and unforgettable intercourse with strangers...Was to try and kill the pain, to take a trip and forget about what was happening to her inside, infecting people all around her and causing a catastrophic outbreak of Polio all throughout Xinjiang. Varied sections of the western province slowly deteriorated.
     
         While leaving the hospital after vaccinations, Tesla begins to break down from all angles, her insides burned straight out of her body. The smell was horrible, she could smell her own skin as it decayed, she broke open. Thinking about what she did before this, took several hits of acid, prescription pills she found by a dumpster, and a shot of rancid Jack. A 23 year old male and the alcohol. Stumbled into the hospital and stumbled back out worse than before. Rushing with blood, she says these final words before falling face down into mud covered bricks. "I'm sorry mother."

10 Important Facts about Polio


  • The disease known as Polio, not only paralyses it's victims, but drowns them in their own dementia gilded ropes. The disease travels fast and reaps not only what it can sow from the human population, It takes more than it can get. Polio is caused by an infection by the poliovirus, sometimes It's possible for it to be transmitted through oral-oral transmissions. Those usually involve contact through/with infected respiratory systems or exchange between saliva.
  • Poliomyelitis has a vast history, dating back from as early as the 19th century. It was first recognized in England of 1789, outbreaks have not occurred in the United States until 1843, where vaccinations would soon be discovered. For years on end polio has become more and more severe in regard to epidemics. The average age of affected people rose and the number of repulsive deaths did as well. In 1952, polio finally arrived in the U.S. with a whopping 21,000 people with paralytic polio. People then started to become sanitized to save themselves from massive exposure of the primary infection. Peoples soon reverted their attention from becoming immune and thats when polio epidemics occurred, with up to 20,000 paralytic cases surfaced. On to the Polio vaccine, when IPV was developed in 1955, the oral polio vaccine then quickly followed it's reveling discovery in 1961. 2,525 cases were only found after vaccinations were discovered in 1960, five years after only 61 cases remained.
  • Symptoms of Polio are usually rectified to contain, the fever, flu, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in neck, and a pain in limbs. The flu isn't really personified as being that of a dangerous effect on the human body. But, for as the fatigue and headache afterwords is very strenuous. A blusterous case of vomiting occurs if paralysis is a case, to face, with polio. Stiffness in all of the limbs isn't rare one bit, curved out on a plank, just a straight curve towards a reality...not accepted by the recipient of the virus.
  • The treatment that plays along with Polio, isn't as obvious and bled out as the symptoms are. Their is no treatment that exists that can kill the poliovirus, you can't use meds that are pharmaceutical to treat a virus. The only thing that can really be done to treat polio is to provide a fight and a struggle, to put up an effort to try and forget about the disease and do anything that you would do without it. Although, you can use pain killers to help you cope with the after effects of paralysis and such.
