Living with Tourette's syndrome - Story time animated

Hello everyone! My name is Oliver Sacks. I'm a neurologist, I'm 38 years old. Recently, I came across a very interesting case that helped me make a new scientific discovery.
My patient's name is Ray. When he was 4, he was diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome. People with this syndrome demonstrate an excess of nervous energy and various convulsions: tics, twitches, cries, gestures and so on. Tourette's syndrome has several forms. My patient suffered from the mildest one.
His tics always made Ray the center of attention. Despite this, his intelligence, wit and strong personality helped him to successfully graduate and meet his wife, who loves him dearly.
However, he still wasn't living a normal life. I first saw him when he was 24 years old. His tics wouldn't leave him alone. For this reason, he was several times fired from his jobs. Only because of his tics which did not in any way affect his performance.
Ray always got into all sorts of ridiculous situations because of his aggressiveness, temper and impudence. His uncontrolled rage even threatened his marriage
Every time when things got tough, Ray turned to music for healing. Like many people with this syndrome, he was very musical and would hardly have hold up long without jazz. He was a well-known amateur famous for his impromptu. While playing the drums, his tics caused by the syndrome transformed into wonderful improvisations.
The syndrome also explained his outstanding tennis playing abilities. His quick reaction and abruptness helped. His strikes were so unexpected and always caught his opponents cold.
Ray was calm only in two cases: when he was relaxing or sleeping after a tiring day and when he found his own pace while swimming, singing or working.
For other people, Ray looked like an eccentric, cheerful, and easy-going person, but inside he for many years had hidden suffering and sorrow. Reducing dopamine activity in the blood is a solution in this case. I prescribed an appropriate medicine called haloperidol. We administered a trial injection to see how his body reacts.

" Those with Toourette's syndrome are a different animal" 😂 I'm offended. Sorry but no, we're just the same as everybody else, just with a syndrome that causes us to tic and sometimes have specific character traits, but we're not 'different' animals. It's a sweet video, but a bit.... weird.
