When I was at the hospital on Wednesday I witnessed a lady whom seem only able to walk backwards

[Bretrick]

Has anyone ever seen anything similar?
Maybe a side effect of medication? A problem with equilibrium?

 

[RadishRose]

No, never. How long did she walk backwards?

 

[Bretrick]

No, never. How long did she walk backwards?

All the time. She was walking backwards from the Doctors room till when she sat in a chair in the waiting room. Seemed she was unable to walk forwards.

 

[RadishRose]

Was she holding on to anything?

Did she turn her head to look behind her?

 

[Murrmurr]

What kind of hospital was it?

When I worked as a psych nurse we had a patient who always used what's called a scissor-walk; he turned 180 degrees to the right with every step, so it was a forward motion but he spun while moving forward. He had a traumatic brain dysfunction; brain damage due to trauma.

She was not holding on to anything, no walking stick or the like and yes, she was watching where she was going.

Oh my goodness!

Oh my goodness!

Scissor-gait was the least of his problems.

Was she by herself? Did she appear disoriented?

 

[Bretrick]

Was she by herself? Did she appear disoriented?

She was going about her life as if it was a natural thing. Something she seemed to be used to.
She was not disoriented.
No staff there were concerned. She must have been there a few times?

It is called retro walking and therapy used for Parkinson patients to help them with their balance.

Did anybody ask her, "Where are you coming from?"
Or, "Why are you living in the past?"

Ive heard of this happening to a teenager after getting the gardisil shot. She had what is called a vaccine injury. I dont know if it ever was corrected, but it happens. That must have been disturbing to see.

 

[Pauline1954]

I remember this one. Pretty sad

That is incredibly sad

There was no spasming. She appeared totally normal, apart from walking backwards.

I remember this one. Pretty sad

This person was diagnosed with Dystonia:

There is no evidence that vaccinations cause dystonia. The DMRF asked a panel of preeminent movement disorder experts to examine this closely several years ago when a story surfaced of a woman who claimed to have developed “dystonia” following a flu immunization.

It was later established the dystonia diagnosis was not correct. In contrast, preliminary research suggests certain vaccinations may actually be protective against certain forms of dystonia. As with any medical procedure, the DMRF encourages individuals to discuss the risks and benefits of immunizations with their doctors.

Frankly, I find it high and mighty when someone tries and pushes their own agenda. They say something different even though the injured individual knows what they went through and what transpired. Which is enough when they say what injured them. Who am I to say something different. I wasnt there and I sure didnt go through this.

Its also very ignorant of people claiming vaccinations cannot injure humans.
