I have my pronoun set and you still call me "him/he."

Probably should've put him on sedatives before I did that. :S

My angle was there was something wacky in testosterone levels. Not sure if there's anything to that now.

measure heart rate and blood pressure.

Those both ought to be given information. Patients are usually hooked up to a heart rate monitor and they should measure blood pressure on admittance.

You should do a glucose tolerance test.

Put on gloves and tell the parents I'm doing a rectal exam to get them out of the room.

Questions to the patient:

It sounds like you work out a lot. Are you trying to lose weight?
Have you ever had alcohol before?

I assumed that was a House eccentricity.

It was the title of the previous case. I'm assuming Kuroi forgot to change it.

It would be if he were going through withdrawal.

There was a case of pheochromocytoma on the show. A death row inmate who experienced these episodes of rage. That's about where the similarities end, he also had cardiac symptoms and hypoxia.

Might as well keep going. @.@

Question to the parent and patient:

Have you recently gotten into any fights at school?

Procedure:

Check the patient's catecholamine levels in blood serum.

What does this initial tox screen cover?

Questions for the patient:

Do you often have trouble sleeping?
Do you take anything to take the edge off your anxiety?

Perform an abdominal CT scan to look for pheochromocytomas, but also make note of any abnormalities found.

I guess that rules out Benzodiazepine withdrawal.

Question to the patient:

Have you traveled out of the country in the last few years?

Procedure:

Run a PET scan of the brain.

TellTaleHeart · Post Post #187 (isolation #14) » Thu Jun 09, 2016 11:09 pm

Does the condition have to be treatable or can the patient be terminal and we still get credit for correctly diagnosing him?

TellTaleHeart · Post Post #216 (isolation #15) » Fri Jun 10, 2016 9:40 am

Procedure:

Diagnose with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Do a lumbar puncture and look for 14-3-3 protein to confirm.

It appears that way, Dr. God. Given his age, my best guess is CJD but I suppose it could also be a freak case of early-onset Alzheimer's.

A1C and pancreatic function were normal. We would've caught diabetes on either of those.

Hey Anti, this happened. You can flush yourself down the toilet now.

If the people want it after the game, I may make it a mish mash regular.

Yes, please!

I love the flavor text. You nailed Cuddy and House's deadpan snark pretty well and the drug seeking behavior you gave Anti really compliments his real alcoholism.
