Abstract

An HIV-infected patient was brought to the emergency room because for the past 2 h he had been catatonic and every 5 s repeated “I want to go to the bathroom. I want to go to the bathroom” like a stuck compact disc player. I spent 3 min with him, asked for a CT scan, and ran to the next case. The nurse who was watching over the patient soon called: he was agitated and needed sedation. I rebuffed her and asked her to get the scan. 10 min later I was called urgently from the radiology department. I rushed there to find two technicians, the nurse, and the patient engaged in martial arts.
