Abstract:
A female patient with attendants holding each of her arms is shown walking out-of-doors. Her face is photographed close-up, and her gait demonstrated as she walks in rolled-up pajamas. She begins to shake, and the attendants lower her carefully to the ground. She is put onto a mattress, where she continues to flail about. An attendant tries to look into her pupil with a small flashlight, and to elicit a plantar response. The patient calms down. She is shown walking in a large hospital ward, wearing shorts. The same patient with a small scar on the back of her shaved head is photographed out-of-doors. She smiles and walks about normally. Head and neck X-rays are shown.
