Awakenings Movie Report
· Neurologist- a neurologist is a doctor who has trained in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders, including diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Neurologists perform neurological examinations of the nerves of the head and neck; muscle strength and movement; balance, ambulation, and reflexes; and sensation, memory, speech, language, and other cognitive abilities. o Examples And Why They Are Examples
§ Dr. Malcolm Sayer
· He is an example because he performs neurological examinations on patients at the Clinic such as Leonard.
§ Dr. Kaufman
· He is an example because he was one of the neurologists at the clinic that was in charge of determining what was mentally wrong with the patients or what they were sent to the clinic for.
§ Dr. Tyler
· He is an example because he was also one of the neurologists at the clinic that was in charge of giving Neurological examinations. o I believe this term was properly portrayed within the movie because it showed what neurologists actually do and how they perform neurological examinations.
· L-Dopa-Also known as Levodopa, L-dopa is a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease. L-dopa is turned into dopamine in the body. L-dopa is used to treat the stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control of Parkinson's disease. o Examples And Why They Are Examples
§ When Dr. Malcolm Sayer went to the information seminar about L-dopa and then talks to the spokesperson in the bathroom about its different uses.
· This is an example because it chemically showed what L-dopa was and it also gave a definition what it was and how it should be used.
§ When Dr. Malcolm Sayer was giving Leonard the dose of L-dopa and when Dr. Malcolm Sayer awakes in the morning to find Leonard out of his coma.
· This is an example because it showed that L-dopa could be used not only for patients with Parkinson’s disease but also to awaken patients in comas from Encephalitis
