John Merrick, often referred to as the "Elephant Man," suffered from severe deformities caused by a combination of neurofibromatosis type I and possibly Proteus syndrome. These conditions resulted in abnormal growths and disfigurements, particularly affecting his face and body. His physical appearance led to social ostracism and exploitation during his lifetime, despite his intelligence and sensitivity. Merrick's story has been widely depicted in literature and film, highlighting the themes of compassion and humanity.
