Marfan Syndrome

This is an example from the Medical Media Systems website (www.medicalmediasystems.com), an online training resource for the art of physical examination. This website provides video based-instruction for all students and practitioners of the health professions. It can be used for basic training, or for advanced practitioners. The website provides both instruction in physical examination technique, interviewing skills (including history-taking, nonverbal communication and symptom presentations), ophthalmoscopy, and heart sound interpretation. It also includes examples of both normal and abnormal physical findings to help students and practitioners to more easily recognize signs of illness in their patients.

you know i think marfan is actually a miracale.its becouase i ALSO have asperger syndrom... but not the servere one. why you ask? bullying. so BECAOUSE i have asberger syndrom i WOULD get bullyed more frencruntly but becouse im godzilla hight i dont like a few days ago when i was sitting a kid was like"hey you wanna fight with me?!" then i stood up and he seid"thats what my friend seid not me!".plus i dont have a stretched heart -phew-. so to some it may be a curse but to me its a miracale.

Expression on her face shows that she feels bad because people are always staring at her.

I am surprised by that, because I do not see any body deformity. what I see is a beautiful young woman.I have very similar body structure, and I have "lost" so many years worrying what do people think about it. It may sound a cliche but it really isnt worth it! So for all Marfans out there - just enjoy your body, you have the right to be thin, long, unique and to feel beautiful about it.

If you recognize yourself in this video, you should undergo the genetic tests. It´s better to unnecessarily spend some money, than die in 30 or 40 years. Trust me.

I just came home from my sons dr/s appointment ( him & my husband have it) I came on here to double check something I saw in his echo-cardiogram ... It is not a syndrome I would wish on anyone and I hope people who think they have it check with their doctor, untreated can kill you young and treated can help save your life ( my father in law died when he was 30 they had no idea the family carried Marfan Syndrome ) It is not bad if you take care of yourself, and follow all doc's instructions :D
