Could be a siezure secondary to metastases from her choriocarinoma. After the above facetiousness, it does sound like some kind of siezure and should be evaluated before the 18th.

Something happened today that I want to pass by you geniuses on this forum. This patient called me tonight and said she had the following turn today: She was in the bathroom and she put her hands on the sink as she felt a little bit dizzy. She felt 3 jolting movements throughout her whole body and then fell on the floor, then she woke up. This jolting business ...... mmmm.. She says she sometimes feels dizzy when she gets up quickly. Her iron count is 12.2, on the low end of ref range.

So does anyone have any ideas. This is the same lady with the High HCG levels - please read that posting, so I dont have to repeat it here.!

Thanks a lot

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
