Iziqu zaqala ukukhula phantsi kwesikhumba senkwenkwe-entanyeni yakhe, esifubeni sakhe nasemva kwentloko yakhe.

Indlela uJoseph Merrick yaba ngayo 'Indoda Indlovu'
Kwiminyaka ezayo kunye nokugqithiswa kukayise, uYosefu wasuka ekhaya, wazama ukusebenza kwiprini kodwa waxhatshazwa ngabasebenzi apho, kwaye ekugqibeleni wagqiba kwibala lokubonisa. Okwangoku ubuso bakhe bebugqwetshiwe yincinci engaphezulu kweentloko zakhe, kunye nenyama ejikeleze ingcambu yakhe yayikhule, kwaye, iholele umgqugquzeli wokubonisa u-Joseph "Indoda Indlovu."
Ukuxilongwa okungalunganga
Uninzi lwabantu luyazi lonke ibali ukusuka kwiphephancwadi ka-1980, "Indoda Indlovu," ehamba phambili noJohn Hurt: njani, ekuqaleni, ugqirha, abanye kubandakanywa ubukhosi, beza kubona umntu onobuqilileyo, onobuqilipho emva kokukhubazeka okukhulu.
Abantu baye bathukunyiswa ngumyalezo wehlabathi jikelele wokunyamezela ulwahluko olufumaneka kwindaba kaJoseph Merrick. Kodwa into eninzi abantu abayiyazi kukuba kuthatha iminyaka eyi-100 oogqirha ukuba bachane ngokufanelekileyo imeko yakhe yezokwelapha.
Ngelo xesha uJoseph Carey Merrick wayehlala (1862-1890), iziphathamandla ezikhokelayo zathi wahlushwa yi-elephantiasis.
Le yintlupheko yesimiso se-lymphatic eyenza ukuba amalungu omzimba avule ubuninzi obukhulu. Ngowe-1976, ugqirha wachaza ukuba uMerrick unesifo se- neurofibromatosis , isifo esingaqhelekanga esibangela ukuba izidumbu zikhule kwi-system ye-nervous. Iifoto zikaMerrick, nangona kunjalo, azibonisi izibonda zesikhumba esibomvu ezibonakalayo zesifo. Kwakhona, ukuphazamiseka kwakhe kwakungabikho kwimizimba kodwa kuvela kwithambo kunye nekhumba. Ngelishwa, kwanamhlanje abantu (baswele) babiza i-neurofibromatosis "isifo seNdlovu."
Kwaye kwafika ngo-1996 ukuba ifunyaniswe impendulo kwinto echaphazelekayo kuMerrick. I-radiologist, u-Amita Sharma, weZizwe eziMpilo zeSizwe (i-US), wahlola i-x-rays kunye ne- CT izicatshulwa zikaMerrick (ezigcinwe kwi-Royal London Hospital ukususela ekufeni kwakhe). UDkt. Sharma wanquma ukuba uMerrick wayeneProteus syndrome, isifo esiyintlekele kakhulu, ngokwaso kuphela echazwe ngo-1979.

- inkulu inkulu (macrocephaly)
- i-gigantism yeenyawo, kunye namabala amnyama okanye i-moles ( nevi ) elukhumbeni.
Ukubonakala kukaMerrick, kwaye ngakumbi imfuyo yakhe, kuthwala zonke iimpawu zeengxaki, nangona kubonakala ngathi yimeko enzima kakhulu. Intloko yakhe yayinkulu kangangokuba isitya sakhe sasigqiba iinyawo ezintathu kwisantya.
Indlela iNdaba iphelile ngayo
Ngaphezu koko, uJoseph Merrick wayefuna ukufana nabanye abantu. Wayesoloko enqwenela ukuba alele phantsi ngoxa elele, kodwa ngenxa yobungakanani nobunzima bekhanda lakhe kwafuneka alale ehleli. Ngenye intsasa ngo-1890 wafunyanwa elele embhedeni emhlane, efile. Umthwalo omkhulu wekhanda lakhe wawususa intanyeni yakhe waza wayichukumisa umbhobho womoya, wamkhathaza.
