Performance of a Lifetime
U/dudeimmadoc: “A 21-year-old male patient was admitted due to respiratory distress and speech immobility for the past two hours. After giving his infant oxygen, his father rushes over and pulls me in, telling me his son’s tongue won’t go back in his mouth. The child is just sleeping there with his tongue sticking out like a child, as I can see when I glance at him.
The boy is having seizure disorders, the father informs me a few hours later. I check in to ensure nothing is amiss and he’s soundly asleep. He begins “convulsing” when I ask the mother how he’s doing. When we eventually learned the whole situation, the child was essentially upset that his father had taken away his phone and that this was his method of “punishing” him.”
