Patient, "Zeus," a middle-aged male in good health, presented with severe headache that initiated suddenly as he was walking. Reported no prior head trauma or surgery, dental problems, or difficulty opening and closing jaw. Blood test indicated no thyroid disease, anemia, or infection. CT scan and MRI revealed no abnormalities. As physician was conferring with patient about pain medications, patient seized up and clutched at head. Small, armor-clad warrior (female) emerged from patient's skull, identified self as "Athena," stabbed physician in bicep, leapt off examination table, and exited the office. Patient expressed complete relief from headache; no wound appeared at exit point. Analgesics prescribed for patient as precaution. Physician administered tetanus shot to himself. Rachel: Can you dig up the diagnostic code for this? I couldn't find it. Also, this may be a pre-existing condition.
