Re: Joseph Merrick, The Elephant Man
All of his contemporaries said he was a lovely, gentle person. Too bad Victorian medicine couldn't make him more comfortable at least.  |

Re: Joseph Merrick, The Elephant Man
Agreed!  Anom AlleyThat's what I got out of it. In the movie version of his life, Anne Bancroft's character, Madge Kendal, found him charming. I have to gather the rest of the videos and repost them. |

Re: Joseph Merrick, The Elephant Man
They're still not 100% sure what the poor guy's condition was. The most currently accepted theory is that Merrick had Proteus Syndrome, or Proteus with severe neurofibromatosis.

Re: Joseph Merrick, The Elephant Man
I cannot imagine, but, he was probably in constant pain. I don't know if one would get used to not lying down. The way his body was twisted, he had to be in pain. And dealing with all the ignorant people, too! |
