• Doctors are professionally trained to help people!!!

• Once they start to complain of sever headaches, cannot control the excess amount of saliva they are producing; RED FLAG
• Sense of their motor skills impaired, you should be concerned.
• Suddenly be sensitive to minor lights, you should be concerned.
• Once they turn pale, and they begin experiencing discoloration, RUN

Mentally

• Becoming a zombie is very deceiving, because not all symptoms are able to be seen by the public eye.
• Mood swings, and constant anger, you should be concerned.
• Focus has gone astray, seem to be a little off it, you should be concerned.
• If they begin speaking to themselves, and showing evident signs of insomnia, RUN!

Physiopathology

"ZOMYALGIABITIS"

"ZOMYALGIABITIS"

• ZOM

-Refers to the physical appearance of zombies

• MYALGIA

-Pain in the muscle or group of muscles

• BITIS

-A name to describe inflammatory diseases

• Conclusion = symptoms did not equal just one disease
• Doctors realized this was a combination of multiple other diseases
• First introduced by Tedd Alexander
• Born and raised in Germany, came to America to seek medical attention
• Bit the doctor and that was the beginning of a zombie outbreak!

Spinal Cord

• Symptoms begin when this disease is spread to the brain or spinal cord, usually 30 to 50 days after this person was bitten.
• This virus is traveled through the spinal cord, where it quickly multiplies as it starts to go to the brain.
• This results in the hallucinations, and insomnia, and the production of saliva greatly increases.

Temporal Lobe

• Revolves around being able to comprehend
• Makes sense of all sounds that we hear all around

Cerebrum

• With this disease, the meninges, the outer connective tissue layer of the brain, is inflamed causing the patient to have a stiff neck.
• The bacteria in the meninges, causes the headaches, and the sensitivity to bright lights.

• "Zomyalgiabitis" enters and multiples at a fast and constant rate
• Invades the entire temporal lobe

Frontal Lobe

• Responsible for making decisions in everyday life
• Where the function of being able to speak fluently and meaningfully

• With "zomyalgiabitis", the frontal lobe does not function
• Bacteria enters = speech is impaired
