Guillain-Barre Syndrome in PoT

[speadee]

For our Integrative Neurology final in Winter 2010, we each had to present a case study, and mine happened to be about Guillain-Barre syndrome.  As many of us know, the information about the disease in Prince of Tennis is wrong, and the mistakes were further confirmed as I worked on the presentation.

Yeah, Konomi admitted he made a mistake.

The only GBS-related operations I've heard of are done on feet, and in the anime the operation was on the abdominal cavity. But then again his illness was never actually named in the anime so it doesn't bother me all that much. It could have been anything.

They can't get psychics right, so we really shouldn't be shocked that they flunk medical science too XDDDDDD

HAHAHAHHAHAA!!!!! they didn't get history right either =P Tezuka = cause of extinction of dinosaurs? *amused*

OMG I JUST REALISED I WROTE PSYCHICS INSTEAD OF PHYSICS.
Maybe I could write for Konomi ;D

Tezuka wiping out the dinosaurs will never get old ♥

hahaha, I didn't even realize that, LOL!

The concept was funny...and then HOW they made him wipe them out was epically hilarious. He hit the ball so hard it came back from the furthest parts of the galaxy to slam into a bunch of dinosaurs running away from it...*shakes head* hahaha

It tends to bother me since I'm in healthcare. You are right about them getting physics and other sciences wrong. For example, they got quite a few healthcare issues wrong, such as Fuji touching Kawamura's racket in the Kantou match against Hyotei: You are not allowed to touch objects with blood. They have to be cleaned and disinfected first.

I hear that they often make historical errors in fiction, but I usually don't notice since I'm not a history person. As for the dinosaurs, I thought it was just an illusion to show how strong the technique is.
