She had gone to the health services people there with her problems, but they had no idea what was wrong with her and suggested she find a doctor outside their system. I learned that Anne was a student at the local college. Even her speech was off, slurred and a little slow.
As we talked, she complained about extreme fatigue, horrible brain fog, and problems with vision. When I met her in the examining room, her hands were shaking like a Parkinson’s patient, even though she was not yet twenty years old. But nothing prepared me for Anne (not her real name) and her mercury poisoning. I thought I had seen everything as a doctor.
