Volksitis - A new disease
Okay - I got a serious case of Volksitis (pronouced Volks-eye-tis)
Symtoms - Stuttering, Loss of energy and optic lenses fail to return to their upward position (Limp-Lens)
Volksitis is a combination of two subviruses that attack the victim:
One subvirus is Glasdropdownis: (Glass-drawp-dow-nis) This virus goes after the optic lenses, eating away the tendons that support it and causing it to fail. Once the first tendon fails, the virus will wait until the first tendon has been healed, then will attack the 2nd tendon. Even though doctors are aware that the virus works this way, they refused to treat the 2nd tendon until it shows symptons of the virus. In most cases, modern medicine cures this virus and it does not return once both lenses have been treated. Treatment involves surgery and a prostetic replacement. In the past it was very difficult to obtain the prostetics, but now the medical community has ramped up production to meet its needs. Each operation usually requires the patient to miss work for one day.
The other subvirus is Coilpacosis: (Coy-yaw-pak-o-sis) This Virus works by attacking the central nervous system and disrupting the electric impulses sent by the brain to the hearts chambers. This disruption causes stuttering and stammering, loss of energy and a foul odor emitting from the rear. This problem is somewhat like "Glasdropnis" because it strikes, waits until it's healed and strikes again. In the past, doctors would just treat the affected chamber, and wait until the others failed - but this caused many patients to stop coming to that particular doctor and search out alternative medicines - this prompted the medical community to agree to irradicate the virus all at once when symptoms first appear. In most cases the symptoms will not appear again once all chambers have been treated, but there are some cases where the virus has erupted again. Prostetics are used to repair the damage, but in the past the prostetics were faulty and hard to locate, needing to be redesigned. After the loss of many patients, a new prostetic was discovered and has saved many lives.
