Abstract
Mrs. B, 68 years old, was referred by her general practitioner (GP) since she had sudden attacks of laughing and shaking, mostly occurring after lunch. The GP described her mental condition as “hysterical,” but he was also concerned about her physical condition. Her GP suspected a malignancy because she had lost weight and was looking unhealthy. Since she was a heavy smoker, the GP suspected a lung malignancy with possible metastases and requested imaging of her lungs, as the patient had refused this so far.
