A Disease?
Though the condition was unfathomable on how he was being able to speak French with that fluency, the doctors convened on this matter and stated that Rory was suffering from “Foreign Language Syndrome”. It was hard to believe for his parents but somehow the doctors managed to convince them.
Head Trauma
Foreign language syndrome is considered to be a rare condition that is caused by a person who has experienced severe head trauma. In this condition, the brain attempts to reboot and latches onto whatever undamaged information it could find. It could be a memory, a person, or even a language.
Visible Scars
Rory was still speaking his French accent and following the medicinal routine. His body was getting better day by day. The outer body was being treated by the doctors which inturn left scars which he flaunted afterward. He considered his scars as beautiful and own them without getting bothered about them.
A Star Already!
Rory’s case was an unusual one since French fluency was a matter of concern. Adding more to this, one more shocking aspect came up and this was craziest of all. Rory was convinced that he was none other than Hollywood star, Matthew McConaughey. Well, it sounded crazy but he was under this impression back then.
Lights, Camera And Action!
The young footballer had no idea about his past career and was believing himself to be a Hollywood star. He even asked the doctors the date of discharge so that he could get back and shoot. He had no faint idea of what he was up to. His parents were so distressed after seeing their only kid like that.
The Approach
The condition of Rory was inconclusive, hence, after the news of Rory being McConaughey broke out, his parents were approached by the Surgical Reconstruction and Microbiology Research Center. Although there was no guarantee of the treatment, they offered to treat Rory anyhow.
