As the corona virus subsides, our daily life is gradually returning to its original form.

However, society as a whole needs to see if there are any people who have difficulties in the process.

Recently, as schools reopen, more and more people are attending classes in person, but there are people who need consideration.



Reporter Jeong Da-eun covered it.

Shin Mo, a college student, has suffered from multiple sclerosis for 15 years since elementary school.



Multiple sclerosis is a disease that causes damage to various parts of the central nervous system. In Korea, it occurs in only about 3.5 cases per 100,000 people.



[Mr. Shin / Multiple sclerosis patient: I suddenly lost sight in class…

Each person has different symptoms.

When it first relapsed, his entire left body was paralyzed, and then one arm or both legs…

.]



Mr. Shin, who has to visit the hospital from time to time whenever pain occurs.



He doesn't have many treatment hospitals or doctors, so every visit is precious.



However, as the number of face-to-face classes in colleges has increased recently, Mr. Shin has fallen into trouble.



Attendance due to illness is allowed up to 3 times per semester.



In the online class, I was able to participate little by little while I was in the hospital, but now I have to unconditionally not attend.



Scheduling appointments for classes are often delayed by a month or two.



[Kwon Young-nam/Professor of Neurology at Seoul National University Hospital: If treatment is delayed very much, many disorders may remain in the body.

If there are factors that prevent such a quick hospital visit, whether at work or school, the prognosis for the patient is inevitably poor.]



[Lee Yong-woo / President of Korea Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: We have to take care at school.

(Rare incurable disease) It is a very unfortunate situation because students sometimes have no choice but to drop out of school.] In



the United States, we are preparing school life guidelines for students with rare and incurable diseases. We are helping them to progress without any setbacks, such as broadly acknowledging them and reducing assignments.
