Diagnosis of the Evening

Today’s BS du jour: Exacerbation of pre-existing seizure disorder secondary to acute incarceritis.

Also known as Supratentorial High Intensity Tremors.

One of these days, I’m gonna just have everyone gather around and hold up score cards.

The local PD and FD was dispatched to the local court house for a person “having a seizure”. One of the cops got on the radio and asked if this was the person that they had housed in a cell over night who had five seizures?

Apparently it’s caused by iron bars or seomthing.

BTW, I’ll assume that I’ve never told you about the time we did the holding up score cards thing when a guy who was tired of waiting faked a seizure in the waiting room. I of course was the “East German Judge” and gave him a low score. Security “escorted” him from the premises. His feet might have touched the ground before his ass, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

I had a patient recently tell me the ER doctor diagnosed them with having pseudo-seizures. I asked the Pt. if they knew what that meant. The Pt. told me it’s the worst type of seizure ever. I wholeheartedly agreed with them and expressed my sympathy towards their condition as I took them out to triage to wait with everyone else.

Did the dude remember to include a post-ictal period?

I have had this same issue working as a camp counselor. I finally sighed, told the girl to stop faking and put on her shoes, and the seizure magically disappeared. I’m a medical genius!
