I am so very confused as to the purpose of this thread...

 

[WolfMage]

Quickly! Look in the "Big Book O' Medicine", it's in the "c"s.
I'll wait.

 

[Calobi]

Lupus!

 

[WolfMage]

Lupus!

It's never Lupus.

 

[Lukeje]

Quickly! Look in the "Big Book O' Medicine", it's in the "c"s.
I'll wait.

It's Korsakov's, isn't it?
Is there a doctor in the house Escapist?

 

[Amnestic]

Lupus!

It's never Lupus.

I second Korsakoff's syndrome by the way.

It's spelled Korsakoff, but yea. Seconded.Thirded.

 

[WolfMage]

Yeah, no, cause that wouldn't cause the psychosis or the joint pain.
We should do a patient history, and search their home and work.

 

[chomesuke]

I think the patient should stop taking crack right before a medical evaluation.

Also the patient should share.

 

[WolfMage]

Also, check for heavy metal poisoning, or for organo-phosphates.
(By the way, this should play out like a real House episode, so throw us some more interesting stuff so we can solve it!)

Edit: Wow, searched WebMD with those symptoms, and the first thing to come up? Lupus. Also, substance abuse.

 

[Stormcloud23]

Yeah, no, cause that wouldn't cause the psychosis or the joint pain.

Patient has no history of drug abuse or an otherwise risky life style. Work was clean, however we did find a strange weed growing in his yard....

Heres a picture we took

 

[chomesuke]

Yes, I would like some more interesting things to ''examine'', also if this plays like a real episode of house, shouldn't you get it relocated to the forum games hell hole?

Also, crack!

 

[WolfMage]

Does he have any allergies?
It could be Datura.
Do a family history for any genetic problems.

 

[chomesuke]

Seriously, that grew in his backyard. And you're telling me he didn't smoke it?

That man isn't dutch.

I think I am starting to like this game.

Addendum: canal jimson weed isn't it?

Addendum2: seriously I was right with my crack? wicked.

 

[Stormcloud23]

No allergies, However history of cancer on his mother's side of the family. Most likely unrrelated as it was breast cancer...

 

[WolfMage]

No, it's confirmed Datura, a.k.a. Thorn Apple.
Clear his system of the Datura and he'll be better shortly.

(I'm gonna call it a 'he' for ease of use.)

 

[Stormcloud23]

System flushed, however all it did was clear the memory loss... Also we have a new symptom
Ascending paralysis that started in his feet... It's moving fast
EDIT: Also the pain is getting worse, it's becoming intractable
