Welcome. My name is Divine. This is episode 516 of the Divine Intervention Podcasts.

Into this podcast, I'm going to be addressing a topic that I'd like to call brain tumors.

This is one of these podcasts where there are two things that's going to help you.

Number one is the presentation.

Number two are the key facts to know.

So what if they give you a question about a patient?

They tell you that he's a 55 year old guy.

And that for the last two, three months,

he has been having severe progressively worsening headaches.

And then you're told that over the last week, he has vomited three or four times upon

awakening in the morning. And then, you're told that it was brought to the emergency hero because he

had a generalized tonic chronic chronic seizure that lasted for two minutes.
