Doctor Milena's Analysis

"Emma..!! Emma..!!" A soft knocking sound echoed from outside the room, disturbing the silence that enveloped the space.Emma jolted awake from her deep slumber. Unbeknownst to her, she had fallen asleep while clutching onto family photos during her earlier bout of tears."Yes, sir. What is it, sir?" Emma responded from inside the room."Emma..!" Called Elio gently from outside, "The two officers have left. It's time for us to return to the hospital to look after Vera.""Alright, sir. I'll get ready." Emma replied with a slightly strained voice, still carrying traces of the lingering sadness."Okay, Emma. I'll wait for you in the car, then." Elio's gentle voice came from outside the bedroom door."Very well, sir." Emma replied from inside the room.Emma's face still bore traces of dried tears on her cheeks. In her embrace, she still held onto several family photos tightly, remnants of the sorrow that had washed over her.Emma's eyes slowly scanned her silent bedroom. Amidst the quietness that enveloped the room, she began to prepare herself to accompany her employer, Elio, to the hospital. Her steps were hurried as she searched for suitable clothes to wear for the day.As her gaze fell upon the shelf in the corner of the room, she spotted the supplements and the box of breast milk enhancers she used for breastfeeding Mia.Sadness overwhelmed her as memories of her deceased baby flooded back into her mind.For a moment, Emma stood still, allowing the feelings of sadness and loss to wash over her heart.After a few moments, Emma made a firm decision. She felt that these items were no longer needed without Mia's presence, and it signaled the end of her breastfeeding journey since there was no longer a baby to nurse.Wiping away the tears streaming down her cheeks, Emma carried the box of milk and the bottle of supplements to the kitchen.With slow movements, she disposed of them into the trash bin under the sink. As if following the flow of her tears, the items vanished from her sight, leaving behind a slight sense of relief yet also a deep sadness in her heart.***Upon arriving at the hospital, Elio and Emma immediately headed to the special room where Vera was still lying. Two days had passed, but Vera remained unconscious in her coma. The continuous beeping of medical machines added to the tension in the room.Elio sat beside Vera's bed, holding his wife's hand lovingly. Meanwhile, Emma stood near the door, giving space to her employer but remaining ready to assist whenever needed."Vera, I'm here." Whispered Elio gently, trying to calm himself while hoping his wife could hear him. "We're all waiting for you. Please, wake up."Soon after, Vera suddenly moved slightly. Her limp hand on the bed trembled slightly. Elio and Emma, who were nearby, were surprised to see this small movement."Vera...?" Whispered Elio, his voice filled with hope. He leaned his face towards Vera, carefully observing any signs of life from his wife.Emma, witnessing this, quickly stood up. "Mr. Elio, I'll immediately call the doctor!" She said, rushing out of the room."Yes, quickly, Emma!" Replied Elio, his voice filled with concern and hope.Emma ran through the hospital corridors, searching for the nearest medical personnel or doctor. Every step felt like a race against time, her heart pounding with anxiety.Vera's eyes slowly began to open, signaling that she had regained consciousness after two days in a coma. Elio felt immense joy seeing Vera open her eyes."Vera, darling, you're awake." Exclaimed Elio joyfully. However, something strange happened. Vera's gaze seemed empty, as if she didn't recognize her surroundings."Vera, it's me, Elio, your husband." Called Elio again gently, trying to get his wife's attention.But Vera paid no attention. She continued to stare straight ahead, as if in a different world.A few minutes later, Emma arrived with Doctor Milena, who was attending to Vera."Doctor, Vera has awakened, but something's wrong." Said Elio anxiously.Doctor Milena immediately approached Vera and began to examine her. "Mrs. Vera, can you hear me? This is Doctor Milena," she called out calmly.Suddenly, Vera started crying. "WAAAAAAA.....!!!!!"Her cries grew louder, like that of a newborn baby. Elio and Emma looked puzzled and concerned at her reaction."Doctor, why is she crying like this?" Asked Elio, his voice filled with worry.Doctor Milena tried to soothe Vera gently, patting her shoulders. "Mrs. Vera, calm down, you're safe here. Try to breathe slowly." She said."WAAAAAA....!! WAAAA....!!" Vera's cries grew louder. Her voice was very loud, like that of a newborn baby, making the atmosphere in the room even more tense."Doctor, what's happening to Mrs. Vera? Why is she like this?" Asked Emma, her eyes welling up with tears seeing her employer in such a state.Doctor Milena took out a syringe from her medical kit."I'm sorry, Mr. Elio. I have to administer this sedative injection to calm Vera down." Doctor Milena said firmly but gently. Elio could only nod with deep concern.Carefully, Doctor Milena injected the sedative into Vera's arm. Slowly, Vera began to calm down, her breathing became more regular, and her crying subsided."Alright, Mrs. Vera. Rest now. We're here for you." Said Doctor Milena softly, wiping Vera's forehead.Elio and Emma watched anxiously as Doctor Milena examined Vera's condition.After ensuring that Vera was stable, Doctor Milena stood up and looked at Elio seriously."Mr. Elio, we need to talk." She said, gesturing for Elio to follow her out of the room.Elio nodded and followed Doctor Milena out of the room, while Emma, who also looked worried, followed behind.They walked through the quiet hospital corridors until they reached a small, peaceful room.***Upon entering Doctor Milena's office, Elio and Emma sat in front of her at her desk.The tranquil atmosphere of the room couldn't alleviate the anxiety on Elio and Emma's faces.Doctor Milena looked at them seriously before opening the documents on her desk."Mr. Elio, there are some important things I need to discuss regarding Mrs. Vera's condition." Doctor Milena said in a soft yet firm voice.Elio swallowed hard, feeling tense. "What's happening, Doctor? Is Vera going to be okay?" He asked with hope in his voice.Doctor Milena took a deep breath before starting to explain. "We've conducted various examinations over the past few days. Based on the results, my initial suspicion was correct. Mrs. Vera has suffered severe brain damage due to the accident, and this has resulted in amnesia."Emma held Elio's hand for support, while Elio looked increasingly worried."Amnesia? Yes, Doctor, I remember you explaining that yesterday." Elio said, his voice trembling.Doctor Milena nodded. "Yes, Mr. Elio. However, the amnesia experienced by Vera is not ordinary. Mrs. Vera has a condition known as 'Regressive Infantilism Amnesia.' This is an extremely rare condition in which individuals experience mental regression to an earlier stage of development, in Mrs. Vera's case, making her resemble a baby."Elio and Emma looked at each other, shocked and confused by the doctor's diagnosis."What does that mean, Doctor?" Elio asked with concern in his tone.Doctor Milena explained carefully, "The latest tests indicate that Mrs. Vera is experiencing a very rare form of amnesia, infantilism, where she regresses to infancy. This means Vera undergoes significant personality changes. She may feel and behave like a baby, losing the ability to speak and perform actions she would normally do as an adult. This is caused by the severe brain damage she suffered due to the accident.""Meaning, Vera now believes she is a baby?" Elio asked, his voice trembling.Doctor Milena nodded again. "Exactly, Mr. Elio. This is an extremely rare condition and is usually caused by very severe brain trauma. In Mrs. Vera's case, the part of the brain that controls memory and adult behavior has been damaged, causing her to revert to an earlier stage of development. She exhibits baby-like behaviors, including crying without reason, difficulty speaking, seeking comfort in hugs, and all the typical traits of an infant."Elio remained seated tensely, his vacant gaze drifting to the ceiling. The tension was palpable from his strained facial expression."Mr. Elio, I understand how difficult this must be for you." Doctor Milena said gently, trying to provide support in the midst of uncertainty.Elio looked at the doctor with a hopeful gaze. "Is there still a chance for Vera to be cured? Is there any hope for her to return to her former self?" He asked, his voice trembling.
