Hi folks, welcome to the clinical problem solvers.

My name is Robbie Gija and my co-host is Reza Manesh. Reza, how are you doing? I'm feeling pretty great. Just had some Chick-fil-A and I'm in a post-pranadio coma ready to present a case to you. How are you feeling, Robbie? Oh, that sounds awesome, Rez. I, unfortunately, I'm on a little bit of a downer. I lost another game of ping pong to my 82-year-old friend. Yes, he's actually 82, and he plays ping pong. It's incredible. But I am really psyched for our first episode. We also have Charmina Arslan here as well. Can I just say something? I said I'm in a post-pranjero coma ready to present to you.

And you said, that's awesome. And that's going to make the final cut, Robbie. Oh, of course it is. What's wrong with the post-pranial coma? I don't get it. That's awesome. That's like the best feeling in the world. If I'm ever down, I just need to go around you, Robbie. You always make me feel good.

1:10.1

If it's post-Prandial, it'll go away.

1:39.0

are really good. My mom told me that I should just play with my hand.

1:47.8

I don't know. I think it's going to be tough, my friend.

1:48.8

That's great.

1:50.1

All right, Raz, why don't you take us away?

1:51.1

Yes, sir.

So, Ms. S is an 82-year-old woman who presents with acute onset of confusion and agitation.

2:03.5

Miss S's daughter reports that her mother has had intermittent episodes of confusion and disorientation. However, during these episodes, she's maintained the ability

2:09.4

to recognize her family and was redirectable. However, yesterday afternoon, after being awoken

2:15.8

from a nap, she was acutely altered, confused, and combative.

2:20.2

She had never had an episode like this. Her daughter became concerned and brought Ms. S to the

2:25.5

hospital. Well, first of all, I'd be combative if you ever woke me up from a nap,
