Cretinism

Yesterday as we passed by Sedco Light Industrial area, I saw the little boy.

What is so special about this little boy, you may ask. Well, its because he's not what he seems. At a glance, he's like any other ordinary 4 years old kid. You take a closer look, he's still like a 4 years old. On closer inspection, you will notice you're not looking at a 4 years old, you are actually looking at a guy in his 30s..mebbe late thirties, heck he may well be in his forties..who knows.

The 1st time that I've seen this little boy was during my secondary school days. Now I'm already in my thirties and he remains the same, except that he's demented now.
Poor guy.

So being a curious cat, I ask Doc about this lil' guy's condition. What kind of rare disease/condition is he suffering from? Definitely NOT dwarfism cos physically he's like any healthy kids, his limbs length are proportional to his body.

Based on my brief description, good ol' Doc was so kind and now I know that this lil' guy could either be suffering from Congenital Hypothyroidism also known as Cretinism or maybe Hypochondroplasia. Interested to learn more...go Google..I malas explain in details.

And as usual a chat with Doc is always enlightening and entertaining. He always bring out the evil side of you. So now if I ever see the lil' guy again, I'll think of my pinky, and I'll go...eeewwwww.

Excuse me pls, I go flush my head in the toilet 20 times.
