Patient lying unconscious since night.CT head and all other investigations normal.Kindly suggest d/d and treatment plan.Thanks.
Respected seniors and colleagues there's nothing to be upset.By saying that everything is normal , I tried to sum up.And that's what exactly is. Blinking movements of the eyes is what made me suspicious and that I wanted to show in the vedio. Patient was feigning unconsciousness.I just stood by his side and told his relative loudly that he will have to be shifted to the Operation theatre, and within next ten minutes he was talking. Thanks all.Thanks Dr.Naveen.R and Bhargavi Jakku.
