General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! I do not consider the symptoms of your brother are due to not taking the injection shot. As you have mentioned, he usually forgets and leaves his stuff. Is it an old habit or has developed recently ? If it is a recent development, I would advise you to take him to a Neurologist/Physician who may advise you for some investigations for further actions. I wish your brother an early recovery.
