Congenital Rubella Syndrome - Ian's story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лют 2013
- If a pregnant woman comes into contact with the german measles (rubella) virus, her baby is likely to suffer serious harm. Often this results in miscarriage, or if the foetus survives, the baby will be born with congenital rubella syndrome, that is affected by one or more disabilities such as mental handicap, visual impairment, deafness, heart abnormalities, among others. Here, Ian Capon talks about his experience of CRS. More information about rubella and CRS: vk.ovg.ox.ac.uk/rubella

My inspiring Great Uncle :) so proud of you Ian!
Thanks for sharing your story Ian. I am revising for Paediatric exams to make sure my advice for kids is top notch. Hearing personal stories really help me understand lots of things I wouldn't otherwise have access to. You are a star. Katie
I'm so happy to see that he is doing well. He speaks intelligently and can still hear and see for the most part which is not nearly as bad as it could be with CRS. Power to you Ian, you rock!
Thanks for sharing Ian. As a fellow CRS survivor who LOVES music, I appreciate this video a lot. Nice work!! ✌️
Thanks for sharing your story Ian I'm an instructor in a first semester nursing program discussing the value of vaccination
You brought tears to my eyes.You will have a much beautiful life in heaven than any of us.
Prayers from Portland Oregon Ian. Thanks for having the "Courage" to share. You're amazing...

This man is simply at amazing level of independence.... and he is precise of what he wants....Please give his contact details even my son is a rubella syndrome patient of 2 years ... i would want to take advise from him like how to work with my child or help him to become a better man like him

What a lovely man!
Very amazing person! Ian you're a champ to us...and I'm a fellow music lover so GLAD you found something you enjoy that much. Now there is a new menace, producing even more defects in babies - the ZIKA virus, spread by mosquitoes. I'm sorry that the world is such a cruel place and that it picks and chooses at random the souls it affects. Maybe these are the strongest souls I know!
This realy amazing how handles lots of things by himself . And he literaly lives normal person life .
Absolutely amazing God bless you Ian
Wonder what his top 10 albums or songs of all time are..
Wow, doing very well. My aunt has CRS, and needs full-time care
My mum had rubella vaccine in 1971 whilst pregnant with me and I was featured in the paper in Sydney due to being the only child who had no negative effects
Rubella or rubella vaccine? It's the rubella virus that causes the congenital defects. The vaccine protects against that
